Why you’ll love this…

The tour takes you from Krakow to the former Nazi concentration camps at Auschwitz I and II-Birkenau
You'll learn about the horrific events that began in June 1940, when Jews and political prisoners were sent to Auschwitz
It's a chilling fact that between 1 and 1.5 million lives were lost here, mostly Jews
This trip serves as a sober reminder of some of history's darkest chapters

What to expect

Visit the former Nazi concentration camps at Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau on this 7-hour trip from Kraków. By June 1940, Jews and over 700 political criminals had been sent to Auschwitz and the atrocities had begun. Birkenau was built by Auschwitz prisoners and by October 1941 was used as an extermination camp. Between 1 and 1.5 million were killed, and approximately 90 per cent of those killed were Jews. Before Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated in January 1945, the SS attempted to blow up the camp and destroy the documentation. They were only partially successful, and the Polish government decided to restore the site as a memorial to the victims.
