The Auschwitz Concentration Camp has become a symbol of terror, genocide and the Holocaust around the world. It was established by the Nazis in a suburb of the town of Oswiecim in 1940. The total number of victims at Auschwitz in 1940-45 is estimated at between 1.1 and 1.5 million people. The ruins of the gas chambers, the kilometers of barbed wire fencing and the railway ramp, where those condemned to be exterminated arrived, still stand on the site of the former camp and make a profound impression on all those who come here. During your trip you will visit both parts of the Museum in Oswiecim (KL Auschwitz I) and Brzezinka (KL Auschwitz II Birkenau). You will also see a documentary film on the history of the KL Auschwitz concentration and extermination camp.
Inclusions: English speaking guide, hotel pick up from selected hotels, guided walk through Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, documentary screening, headphones.
