About

To make your stay in Cracow fully meaningful, you should visit the real historical place from World War II, Germany's Nazi Concentration Camp, Auschwitz Birkenau. The visit there allows you to discover and learn about the murderous Nazi campaigns against Europe's Jewish populations.

For us, it is impossible for people who are born after WWII to imagine what happened at the time of the Holocaust. Millions were tortured and murdered. A visit to Auschwitz Birkenau helps to understand the extent of the biggest human tragedy.

The Nazi camp Auschwitz was established in 1941 when first prisoners were delivered by train. For 4 years, camp Auschwitz was being expanded until Auschwitz II Birkenau was built, with gas chambers, and then Auschwitz III – a work camp. In 1945, thousands of people that are physically and psychologically destroyed were liberated. Unfortunately, the SS hurriedly destroyed most evidence of crimes and tests carried out on prisoners
