During this deeply educational and emotional experience, you will visit the original locations that made up the Auschwitz zone, offering a comprehensive look into the vast network of the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp complex. As you explore the preserved buildings and exhibition areas, you will uncover the horrific realities of life and death during the camp’s operation. One of the first sites is the Judenrampe, the infamous selection ramp where SS officers decided who would be sent to forced labor and who would be led directly to the gas chambers. It was here that families were torn apart forever, their belongings stolen and their futures erased. This grim location stands as a powerful reminder of the cruelty and systematic nature of the Nazi regime’s atrocities.
You will also visit several key sites that reveal more specific and harrowing chapters of this history. The Penal Company of Women tells the tragic story of extreme abuse, including the massacre of French Jewish women, in conditions that were inhumane and utterly brutal. Another stop is KL Auschwitz III – Monowitz, where forced labor was intertwined with the operations of massive chemical and pharmaceutical corporations like BAYER, BASF, and AGFA. Here, you’ll learn how these companies profited from the exploitation of prisoners and the role of industry in the Nazi war machine. Finally, the tour takes you to the KL Auschwitz – Jawischowitz Subcamp, where even children were imprisoned under horrific conditions to serve nearby coal mines. These sobering visits offer a fuller understanding of how deeply rooted and widespread the Auschwitz system was, leaving an unforgettable impact on all who witness it.

Was a somber experience being in a place of death and torture, especially for my family members who endured this egregiously harsh and inhumane reality during WWII. We were never told to purchase tickets in advance so the museum was booked solid when we drove 3.5 hours from Warsaw to visit. The new Israeli owners, as crazy as it seems, have made it more difficult to gain entry with a walk in. We are able to observe the outskirts which was just as surreal and contained some valuable informative sights to see.
It's worth going here to get some understanding of the scale and suffering that Jews and others had handed out by the Nazis during their time in power. Walking around the camp just shows what man can do to fellow man. The suffering and death on an industrial scale. The museum does well to preserve the past so we don't forget. There is a lot of walking involved so plan ahead especially if you take a guided tour as they move quickly but do give you lots of information about the camp and the people who went through the gates, many for the last time.
Incredibly somber and emotional experience. Seeing the scale of what happened here is overwhelming. We visited on a nice sunny day, but I couldn’t help but feel what the conditions must have felt like for those held within the camp during the harsh polish winters. A must see for anyone to remind us of what happened and try to ensure it can never happen again.
A huge museum, which is being restored to this day and is still being preserved. Book the tour in advance because you can get alone and for free only after 15:00. We got a very nice girl guide, it was very interesting and pleasant to listen to. We visited both camps, the total tour took about 4 hours. This place is very atmospheric, creepy. It is obligatory for everyone to visit, you need to know and not forget the history so that there are no more such things.
Powerful to say the least! This was part of my bucket list of places to visit and WOW it did not disappoint. Moving does not do this place justice, understanding what the Jews, gypsies and other minorities went through during the Second World War, you can watch as many documentaries as you like but actually walking in their footsteps really does bring it home…..Unforgettable
