Visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau was one of the most powerful and moving experiences I’ve ever had. The tour was informative, respectful and deeply thought-provoking, bringing history into sharp focus in a way that books and documentaries never could. Not an enjoyable visit in the traditional sense, but an incredibly important and unforgettable one.
