Actually Auschwitz, comprises three concentration camps in all its extension. The first was built for the purpose of housing political prisoners, but this was changing over time, as your private guide will explain in more detail. This complex is where the so-called “hunger cells” are located, where hundreds of prisoners died of starvation. Auschwitz II- Birkenau, is the second complex to which we will arrive after traveling a short distance, it is still today the site of the crematoriums and the gas chamber. This complex was created with the aim of being “the final solution to the Jewish problem”, and in reality it is a complex of death.

The visit then continues to Auschwitz II–Birkenau, the vast extermination camp where the majority of victims were murdered. Walking through the remains of gas chambers, watchtowers, railway tracks, and wooden barracks provides a sobering understanding of the industrial nature of the Holocaust. Throughout the tour, a licensed guide explains the historical context, individual stories, and significance of the site, allowing time for reflection and remembrance.
