Upon arrival in Oświęcim, you'll have a brief break, allowing you to grab a coffee or stretch your legs while taking in the surroundings. Soon after, you'll meet your local guide, a licensed expert from the Auschwitz-Birkenau museum, who will then lead you on an insightful and poignant guided tour.

Panstwowe Muzeum Auschwitz-Birkenau

Upon arrival at Auschwitz, your professional guide will meet you and lead you through the infamous gate at Auschwitz I, inscribed with the chilling words "Arbeit Macht Frei". The Auschwitz-Birkenau complex was established in 1940, repurposing old Polish army barracks, and was initially intended to hold Polish POWs and political prisoners. It operated until its liberation by Soviet forces in 1945. During this time, more than 1.5 million prisoners, including Jews, Poles, Italians, and French, were brought to Auschwitz, with 1.1 million tragically exterminated in what became the largest genocide in human history, leaving survivors deeply scarred.As you explore the Auschwitz I site, you'll encounter original buildings, roads, fences, watchtowers, railway ramps, and the haunting "Death Wall." Your tour includes visits to the barracks, now housing powerful exhibitions, documents, and items. These moving displays offer a glimpse into the harrowing reality faced by those imprisoned here.

Brzezinka

The second part of your tour takes you to Birkenau (Auschwitz II), the largest of over 40 camps and sub-camps within the Auschwitz complex. Originally conceived as a camp for Soviet POWs, Birkenau eventually became a concentration camp for prisoners of various nationalities and a central hub for the extermination of Jews. Construction began in October 1941, built by slave laborers on the site of the displaced and largely destroyed village of Brzezinka, just three kilometers from Auschwitz I. The camp was designed to hold up to 125,000 prisoners at a time, many of whom were condemned from the outset to die from cold, hunger, disease, and overwork. Prisoners were treated as expendable and easily replaced labor. As you walk through Birkenau, you’ll witness the horrific living conditions prisoners were forced to endure. This part of the tour gives a sobering glimpse into the brutal efficiency with which lives were extinguished during the Holocaust.
