About this activity
If you’re going on a trip to Poland, then you should know that one of the best things that you can do there is to go visit the former sites of the well-known concentrations camps to learn about significant part of world history.Go on a tour beyond the picturesque city of Kraków and go on a tour inside one of the most notorious camps, Auschwitz. Through this harrowing tour, you’ll be able to explore the remains of its many facilities and you’ll also visit different exhibits filled with artifacts and information that’ll give you a vivid picture of the living conditions of the Jewish people during the Nazi Occupation of Poland. All throughout, you’ll be accompanied by a guide who will share engrossing tales and commentary about this infamous site’s sordid history. While the camp is filled with vestiges of a horrifying point in time, it’s also filled with reminders about the kind of depravity that the world shouldn’t sink into and that showing compassion towards your fellow persons is a step to making the world a better place for all. This is definitely must-book tour for any traveler visiting this Polish city, especially for history buffs.
