• Panstwowe Muzeum Auschwitz-Birkenau - The tour begins with a visit to Auschwitz I, the initial camp established as a concentration camp for Polish citizens detained after Germany’s annexation in 1939. Visitors will walk through the gate under the notorious sign “Arbeit Macht Frei” (Work Makes You Free). This segment of the tour typically lasts two hours, during which participants will use headsets to clearly hear the guide. The group size is capped at 35 people, in accordance with the Museum’s guidelines, ensuring a comfortable and accessible experience for everyone. Visitors will explore the original wooden barracks, fortified walls, barbed wire fences, gas chambers, and crematoria, which together leave a lasting impression and help visitors understand the vast scale of the Holocaust.
• Memorial and Museum Auschwitz II-Birkenau - Following the visit to Auschwitz I, the tour continues to the second, larger camp—Birkenau (Auschwitz II), located just 3 minutes away. Birkenau, the largest camp, was constructed and operated with the aim of making Europe “Judenrein” (free of Jews). The guide will continue the impactful narrative at Birkenau, situated in the village of Brzezinka. Built in 1941 under the orders of SS commander Heinrich Himmler, the camp had the capacity to hold approximately 90,000 prisoners. Participants will hear poignant accounts of the harsh living conditions, the cruel selection process, and the pseudo-scientific medical experiments conducted by Nazi doctors, including Josef Mengele. The tour concludes with the story of liberation when soldiers from the 60th Army of the First Ukrainian Front opened the gates of Auschwitz on January 27, 1945, leaving participants with a deep understanding that such atrocities should never have happened—and must never happen again.
