Auschwitz – Birkenau Tour

Take a haunting yet poignant tour of Auschwitz with an expert guide


Overview
Auschwitz Birkenau was one of the largest of the Nazi concentration camps. It is estimated that during World War II around 1.5 million people died at Auschwitz. In 1979 Auschwitz was added to the list of UNESCO world heritage sites and commemorates the lives of the many who died here. A visit to Auschwitz is a somber experience, yet understanding the atrocities that occurred at Auschwitz is an important means of ensuring such events never happen again.

On this Auschwitz tour you will visit Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II (Birkenau), both large extermination and imprisonment camps. You will also visit the memorial museum and watch a moving documentary on life in the camp.
