You should visit the real historical place from World War II, Germany's Nazi Concentration Camp, Auschwitz Birkenau, to make your stay in Krakow fully meaningful. This tour allows you to discover and learn about the murderous Nazi campaigns against Europe's Jewish populations. For us, people who are born after WWII, it is impossible to imagine what happened at the time of the Holocaust. Millions of innocent people were tortured and murdered.
A visit to Auschwitz Birkenau helps to understand the extent of the biggest human tragedy. The Nazi camp Auschwitz was established in 1941 when the first prisoners were delivered by train. For 4 years, camp Auschwitz was being expanded until Auschwitz II Birkenau was built, with gas chambers, and then Auschwitz III – a work camp. In 1945, thousands of people that were physically and psychologically destroyed were liberated. Unfortunately, the SS hurriedly destroyed most evidence of crimes and tests carried out on prisoners.
