Auschwitz-Birkenau Tours
Provide an emotional and educational visit to a former concentration camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau. These visits help visitors comprehend the horrors of the Holocaust through first-hand experience – books or documentaries will never do it justice; you must experience first-hand it to grasp its impact fully. Gas chambers where Zyklon B was used to suffocate prisoners, crematorium ash pools, barracks where prisoners lived will provide insights beyond words or video documentaries could ever do.
On this tour, you’ll be led through the main camp by an expert guide who will discuss what happened there. Your journey begins at the famous gate reading “Arbeit macht frei,” before passing through it and passing by beautifully preserved red-brick barrack buildings turned into museum exhibitions.
Take a transit bus to Birkenau and witness where some of the most horrific massacres happened; see where millions were slaughtered at crematoria and gas chambers; catch where remains have been scattered across Birkenau today.
