Our tour begins at Monowitz, where the Nazi regime turned human life into a resource. You will see the remains of the camp where thousands of prisoners, including Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel, endured unimaginable conditions while working for the German war machine.
30 minutes
3
Oswiecim
Pass through the city with thorough explanation of the operation system of the whole Auschwitz complex with it's guards and officials' residential and leisure areas
4
Oświęcim
We explore the perimeter of the "Stammlager" (Auschwitz I). Standing by the original fences, you will see the administrative heart of the complex. A key stop is the house of Rudolf Höss, the camp commandant. Seeing where he lived a "normal" family life just meters from the crematorium chimneys offers a profound look at the "banality of evil."
1 hour
5
Auschwitz-Birkenau - "Judenrampe"
Next, we visit the authentic railway platform located between the camps. This is where most transport trains arrived until 1944. It is a powerful, quiet site where the "selection" of thousands of people took place—a place often missed by standard museum tours.
20 minutes
