Description

Embark on a deeply moving and educational journey through history with a guided tour of Auschwitz-Birkenau, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978. This comprehensive experience includes visits to both parts of the former concentration camp – Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau – as well as a poignant documentary film that chronicles the first moments after the camp's liberation. Auschwitz is an enduring symbol of terror, genocide, and the Holocaust. Established by the Nazis in 1940 on the outskirts of the town of Auschwitz, which was then incorporated into the Third Reich, it later became the epicenter of the 'Final Solution' – the Nazi plan to systematically exterminate the Jewish population in occupied territories. The Auschwitz camp was, throughout its existence, a site of unimaginable suffering and destruction. Today, it stands as a powerful memorial to those who perished here, particularly the victims of the Holocaust. This emotional visit offers a chance to pay your respects and reflect on the past, as hundreds of visitors do daily. Join on this meaningful journey to honor the memory of those who suffered and to ensure that the lessons of history are never forgotten.
