+3 photos
This memorable tour lets you experience the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial at its fullest. This historic site is a worldwide symbol of the terror, genocide and the Holocaust—a site that was central to the extermination of 1.5 million: Jewish and Polish people and many others during World War II.You will travel to Oswiecim (Auschwitz in German). Auschwitz - Birkenau was the largest concentration and extermination camp established by the Nazis during World War II. This accurately preserved memorial consists of two parts of the former concentration camp: Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau. A guided visit of both sections makes it possible to understand this unique place in its entirety. You will get to experience life as a prisoner: the fortified walls, barbed wire, railway sidings, platforms, barracks, gallows, gas chambers, and crematoria. All this will help create a deeper understanding of the infamous project of the Holocaust, as well as the Nazi policy of mass murder and forced labor.
