This affecting tour begins at the front of the Auschwitz-Birkenau main building. Your guide will lead you under the iron gate bearing the slogan "Arbeit Macht Frei" (work sets you free), a powerful symbol of the suffering endured beyond the gates. From here, you'll observe Block 11, an emotional experience at the location where some of the worst atrocities took place.
After your tour of Auschwitz, you'll take a minivan to the adjoining camp, Birkenau. At 25 times the size of Auschwitz, this is the largest of the Nazi concentration camps where over one million people perished.
You''ll end your visit at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial, a chance for reflection and to pay your respects to all victims of the genocide.
