About

Your Experience

Begin your day in Krakow and travel comfortably by bus to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum, a location holding vital lessons from one of history’s darkest chapters. On this full-day, guided experience, you’ll explore sites where over a million men, women and children were murdered during World War II.

Auschwitz I: Entering the Memorial

After arriving from Krakow, pass through the iconic entrance marked with the phrase “Arbeit Macht Frei,” a chilling reminder of what took place here. Your professional guide will explain the meaningful history behind the phrase and the camp. As you tour original brick barracks, you’ll gain a sobering understanding of daily life for prisoners. Inside the museum, view exhibits with personal belongings, photographs and documents that detail the stories of former detainees.

The Site’s History and Legacy

With your guide’s clear explanations, you’ll see prison cells, punishment blocks and the execution wall. Learn about the operational system, prisoner routines and the events that marked this as a site of unimaginable suffering. The guide will recount stories that provide important context and honor the memory of those who perished.

Exploring Birkenau

After completing your tour of Auschwitz I, transfer by bus to the nearby Birkenau section. This is the site where the largest numbers of murders occurred and where many original structures still stand. As you walk along the railway tracks, contemplate the experiences of those who arrived here. Explore the ruins of the gas chambers and crematoria the Nazis attempted to destroy as they retreated. Your guide will share insight on how Birkenau operated and its significance in the “Final Solution.”

Reflect and Remember

This tour is both educational and deeply moving. By the end of the day, you’ll have a broader understanding of the Holocaust and an appreciation for the importance of remembrance. Time at each site is respectful, with chances for reflection and questions.
