Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial & Museum

Possibly the most infamous concentration camp of them all, today Auschwitz survives as a memorial and museum to some of the most horrendous acts in human history. Auschwitz was a network of Nazi concentration and extermination camps operated by the Third Reich, today a UNESCO listed museum. 

This powerful and emotionally intense tour includes visits to both Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau. 

​

Lines of buildings dominate the site, many of which are filled with artefacts from those who perished. In addition, you will also see the ‘Death Wall’ and ‘Gas Chambers’, some of the rawest symbols of mankind at its worst. 

At Auschwitz Birkenau II, which was used during the making of ‘Schindlers List’ and was built as an extension to the first site, you will enter through the infamous watch towers, you will see the endless rows of stables which were built to house inmates, gas chambers, and the train track from which people unloaded in retched conditions.

The content of this trip is emotionally intense, we do not recommend this visit for pupils aged under 14 years due to the profound nature of the visit. Students should be prepared in advance, and be provided support during and after the visit.
