Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp: a guided visit to the horrors of the Holocaust

Symbol of the atrocities of the Holocaust, the Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp is one of the most infamous places on Earth. After all, it was here that over 1,1 million people, mainly Jews, died during World War II at hands of the Nazis in the biggest extermination campaign ever seen in history.

During my visit to Krakow, I booked a guided tour to the Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau camps, a very tough but extremely educational and necessary visit to remember the horrors of the past to make sure that they are never repeated.
