KL Auschwitz-Birkenau (Konzentrationslager Auschwitz-Birkenau) was the largest German Nazi concentration and extermination camp, which was built in the outskirts of Oświęcim (annexed as Auschwitz to the Third Reich). Altogether, over 1.1 million men, women and children, mainly the Jewish population, lost their lives in the camp. One of the few prisoners who managed to survive the imprisonment period was Marian Kołodziej – the author of a series of sketches Frames of Memory. Labyrinths that depict shocking scenes of life in the camp. Apart from sightseeing the biggest part of the camp – Birkenau, participants of the Pictures from Auschwitz tour will see the artist’s shocking works about which Rev. Professor Józef Tischner said: ‘I have been to the Auschwitz camp a couple of times, I have walked around Birkenau. But I have never seen there what I saw at this exhibition. My impression is this: it is here that the real Auschwitz is found. This is actually all I am able to say: the real Auschwitz is here.’

Le musée d’Auschwitz-Birkenau est le lieu de commémoration de l’un des épisode le plus tragique de l’histoire – le camp de concentration d’Auschwitz, une usine de la mort, pensée et organisée, telle qu’elle avait été construite par les nazis.

The Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum (today called the Memorial) was officially opened thanks to the efforts of former prisoners on 14 June 1947. Its premises include two preserved parts of the KL Auschwitz-Birkenau: Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau. The short sightseeing program prepared by the museum does not include two items (a visit to the “Death Block”, where the camp arrest was located, and a visit to the International Monument to Camp Victims); in all remaining aspects, the route covered by visitors does not differ from the route of the standard tour. For this reason, the Auschwitz-Birkenau: Shortened Tour program is recommended particularly to persons who have arrived in Kraków for a short time and have a limited budget, but, nevertheless, would like to visit the important historic site that was entered in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979.

Le Musée de la Fabrique de Schindler est une étape incontournable de la visite pour tous ceux qui veulent comprendre l’histoire de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et son impact sur Cracovie et ses habitants.

Cracow is a city steeped in hundreds of years of history. During the Second World War, it became the scene of many horrifying events, but also witnessed numerous heroic deeds. We invite all of you who would like to get to know about this part of the city’s history to seize the opportunity to go back in time to the years of Nazi occupation.

Tourists arriving in Kraków for a couple of days certainly want to take advantage of the city’s rich offer without having to choose between one of the world’s most recognisable destinations located in the Kraków region: the Wieliczka Salt Mine and the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum. To provide tourists with an opportunity to see both of these places, taking into consideration the limited time of their stay, we decided to combine these two offers into a single one-day trip.
