About This Experience

This full-day history tour of Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial Museum takes you into the infamous WWII concentration camps. You'll get all your questions answered as you learn some real-world history with a licensed guide, who will explain the significance of the holocaust. Head out of Krakow in a comfortable air-conditioned minivan to KL Auschwitz 1. Walk through the iron gate bearing the notorious slogan - Arbeit Macht Frei - which means Work Sets You Free. Next, make your way to block 11, the so-called prison within the prison. Block 11 was once home to torture chambers, where various punishments were inflicted to prisoners. Next, you'll be led to KL Auschwitz 2 Birkenau, where over 1 million people died. This part of the camp is 25 times bigger than Auschwitz 1, and was the largest of the concentration camps.
