Overview

The study tour is a perfect opportunity for those visitors who wish to get the most of their visit at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial, and want to focus on particular sites at the Memorial and receive more detailed information about the camps. The program of a tour in its 6 hour version includes visiting both – Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau. A standard tour at the Birkenau camp is extended by visiting objects associated with the mass destruction of the Jews like e.g. the ruins of gas chambers and crematoria IV and V, so-called ‘Kanada’ barracks, the ‘Sauna’ building and Bunker No. 2. You will arrive about half hour before your tour, as there’s about 20-25 minute time required for the security check. Your guided tour will be conducted in a group that consists of maximum 15 visitors. IMPORTANT: You must provide names of all participants as entry tickets are named.

    Panstwowe Muzeum Auschwitz-Birkenau

    The tour starts by walking through the gates with the infamous sign: Arbeit Macht Frei (Work Sets You Free) and will continue to see the camp nearly untouched, just like it was when the Nazi left in January 1945. Just the trees have been placed at almost every street corner. You will enter the blocks turned into the Museum. Each of them having a number and a particular name. With explanation panels, signs and pictures they depict the horror that took place during the Holocaust. The educator will show you the inside of the blocks dedicated to the extermination plan, the medical experiments conducted by Doctor Mengele. The rooms are still filled with victims’ belongings, clothes, suitcases, unpaired, worn out shoes. You will see the unloading platform, watchtowers, fences, barracks, the camp bathhouse, the wall for execution, jail cells and many more.
