Visit the most infamous place of the holocaust, the extermination camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau. With a knowledgeable Englis-speaking guide, you will tour the grounds and buildings of the camp, exploring the history of the Nazi occupation of Poland and the terrible deeds that took place here.

The tour begins with a 15-minute documentary film about the liberation of the camp, then a local museum-guide will show you exhibitions in some of the surviving prison blocks, the gas chamber, and the crematorium.
After a short break you continue to Birkenau, where you can go up to the watchtower above the entrance gate to see the view of the biggest Nazi extermination camp.
