Visit and experience history on this private tour to Auschwitz Birkenau, probably the world's most well known place of genocide and cemetery.

Auschwitz began as a concentration camp for Polish political prisoners. In 1942, it became the center for extermination of European Jews.

On this tour you will witness where the Nazis killed about 1.5 million people - mainly Jews, but also Poles, Gypsies, Russians and other nationalities - between 1940 and 1945.

Your tour begins with a 15 minute documentary film about the liberation of the camp. Then a museum guide will show you the exhibitions in some of the surviving prison blocks, the gas chamber and the crematorium.

After a short break, the tour continues to Birkenau, where you go up to the watchtower above the entrance gate to see the view of the biggest Nazi Concentration Camp. A Martyrdom Museum was set up here in 1947.In 1979, UNESCO included Auschwitz-Birkenau in its list of World Heritage sites.
