Tour Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi Germany concentration camp. Located in German-occupied Southern Poland, it took it's name from the nearby town of Oświęcim, nearby Kraków, and Warsaw. The complex consisted of three main camps: Auschwitz I - the administrative center, Auschwitz II (Birkenau) – an extermination camp, and Auschwitz III (Monowitz) – a work camp. In 1990, the number of people killed in the camp was placed at 1.1 million.
About 90 percent of those killed were of Jewish descent from almost every European country. Most of the dead were killed in gas chambers using Zyklon B; other deaths were caused by systematic starvation, forced labour, lack of disease control, individual executions, and medical experiments. At the end of the war, the SS made great efforts to destroy what remained of the camp, burn the archives, and murder all the people they referred to as the 'Bearers of Secrets'. This Auschwitz-Birkenau Tour gives you an opportunity to learn about holocaust and see one of the most terrifying but also touching places in the World.
During the tour you will have a chance to visit the permanent exhibition and original buildings on the grounds of the Main Camp (Auschwitz) and see the most important original objects at Birkenau. The whole tour lasts about 6-7 hours. You will spend around 2 hours in the first part of the camp, around 1 hour in the second part. Please do remember that there is no lunch break during the tour.
