Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum Trip from Krakow Discount Tickets

Overview

Visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau is a solemn and morbid journey, but one worth the price. The unassuming towns of Oświęcim and Brzezinka, only an hour from Kraków, are the site of a horrifying tragedy. The Auschwitz-Birkenau complex embodies the grim objective of the Holocaust - gathering and exterminating masses of people in inhuman ways and conditions. Initially planned to serve primarily as a concentration camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau was transformed into a factory of death. The cold and ruthless industrial design of this genocide camp murdered around 1,5 million people. Every year, countless visitors from across the entire world come to Auschwitz to commemorate these victims and never forget what took place there. For those doing it for the first time, a guide-assisted trip is the best choice. No amount of reading about it can compare to seeing the gas chambers and crematoria with your own eyes. This experience will stay with you for the rest of your life.
