The largest German Nazi Concentration and since 1942 Death Camp build on the occupied Polish territory. Operating since May 1940 to January 1945. Within this time the camp system was developed to over 50 sub-camps abusing the slave workforce of Auschwitz prisoners. Since 1942 Birkenau was chosen to be the mass extermination center of European Jewry. It is estimated that about 1,3 million people, mainly Jews were murdered in Auschwitz-Birkenau. Since 1947 territory of former camp was changed into State Museum. The remaining former camp structures spread over vast territory, the general number of victims as well as their very diversified nationality led Auschwitz to be recognized as main symbol of Holocaust in the world. Each year the Museum is visited by approximately 1 million visitors, who chose to learn the history of Holocaust by getting to know history of Auschwitz-Birkenau. In 2005 the International Centre of Education about Auschwitz and the Holocaust was created, in order to raise historical awareness about Shoa and promote values of dialogue between nations. The regular guided tour through territories of Auschwitz and Birkenau lasts approximately 3,5 hours.

Extra Information

Extras -
We always suggest to visit Auschwitz and Birkenau on a full day tour which begins in Cracow. Before driving to Auschwitz and Birkenau we make an introductory visit to the Cracow Ghetto, Schinlder’s Factory and Plaszow Camp territory. These 2 hours spent in the morning in Cracow help to understand the fate of Polish Jews and prepare for the more complete visit to Auschwitz and Birkanau. Additionally, this makes us start in Auschwitz Museum around noon so after all the mass bus tours which come in the morning. In this way we are not distracted by the crowds of people.



Starting at noon leaves us a lot of time to explore Auschwitz and Birkenau calmly. If time allows, we try to visit also the only remaining synagogue in the city of Oswiecim /Auschwitz with its little museum devoted to life in Shtetl.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud

It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:

  • It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
  • If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
  • Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
