What you can see:
•On the land of Auschwitz camp, Nazi made the first camp for men and women, here first experiments of death took place by using cyclone B. Here the first mass Jews extermination took place, here the first criminal experiments in prison were led, here were most of executing by firing squad, here the central camp prison was located-in block no 11 for prisoners from all parts of camp complex and here also was the main command of the camp and most of Nazi offices.
•In camp Birkenau everything took place with multiple scale, where Nazi built most of mechanisms of mass extermination, where about million of Jews and other nations were murdered. Hugeness of the land, primitive prison barracks, ruins of other objects, kilometres of camp fence and roads shows something what cannot be expressed with words, what must be seen and everything subjected to one aim - extermination of people…
Some important advice for visitors:
• I recommend to leave Cracow at 08:00 am and you will start visit Auschwitz before crowed.
• The visit begins and last for about 2-3 hours (Auschwitz and Birkenau). Then back to Cracow.
• The length of visit depends on individual needs, so the trip can be longer or shorter.
• Photographing and filming inside building is forbidden.
• The children under 14 should not visit the museum. The scens of Auschwitz are to dramatic.
• Staying on the place of memory, you should behave with respect and dignity.
• On the area of camp, we do not eat or drink, but in front of the entrance you can go to a small bar where you can eat and drink. So I invite you for trip just after the breakfast in Krakow and you will eat dinner when you come back.
• Smoking is forbidden.
• In „Book-shop” you can buy various publications, books, CDs and DVDs.
