Auschwitz-Birkenau (JORDAN/Discover C.), emergency(+48)12 430 02 92

Every year, milions of visitors from around the world walk through the gate bearing a fallacious inscription: Arbeit macht frei-"Works sets on free". Defeating the same route as prisoners for over half a century ago. The programme of the visit comprises the introduction to the origins of the camp, its history and the everyday life of its prisoners. The Auschwitz-Birkenau complex was established in 1940 and throughout the five years of its inglorious operation over 1,5 milion Jews, Poles, Italinas and Frenchman perished here. It should be emphasized that the prisoners of Auschwitz originated from every country in Europe. The museum was founded in 1947, combining the area of KL Auschwitz (Auschwitz I) in Oswiecim and the Birkenau camp (Auschwitz II) in Brzezinka, it comprises approximately 150 buildings and 300 ruins. The orginal roads, fences, watchtowers and railway ramps have been preserved. The buildings house the collection of original exhibits and documents. In 1979 the concentration camp was designated as one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
