Embark on a deeply reflective journey from Krakow to Oświęcim to visit the largest Nazi concentration camp complex from World War II – Auschwitz-Birkenau. This unique experience honors the memory of over 1.3 million victims who lost their lives here, serving as a profound expression of respect for their suffering and tragic fates. The first part of the visit is a two-hour tour of Auschwitz I, where former prisoners' barracks now house a permanent exhibition depicting the brutal reality of the camp. Each step through this place brings you closer to a history that must never be forgotten. Next, you will visit Auschwitz II-Birkenau, the largest of the camps, where you will spend another two hours exploring the preserved remnants of the crematories, the unloading ramp, barracks, and the monument dedicated to the camp's final victims. This site, filled with silent testimony to unimaginable suffering, calls for deep reflection on the human tragedy that unfolded here. The tour is self-guided (book), allowing for a personal and intimate experience of the site.
