Throughout the 3.5-hour tour, you’ll be accompanied by a licensed historian & educator guide, who will share expert insights and provide crucial historical context.  Begin your visit at Auschwitz I, where you’ll walk through the preserved barracks and prisoner blocks. See the original belongings of the victims and pass under the notorious “Arbeit macht frei” gate, while learning about the daily struggles, suffering, and resilience of prisoners. 


Continue to Auschwitz II–Birkenau, the vast extermination camp where over a million people lost their lives. Here you will see the haunting remains of the gas chambers and crematoria, and witness the scale of the atrocities committed. Your guide will explain the camp’s role in the Nazis’ “Final Solution” and lead a moment of reflection at the memorial sites.  This guided experience offers not only historical insight but also emotional depth and the chance to honor the victims of the Holocaust.
