Walk through WWII's tragic past at the Auschwitz sub-camps, a place that gives chilling details of the atrocities during the Nazi's reign. With seamless transfers for your tour and an English-speaking guide offering bone-chilling details along the way, sit back and lend an ear to the stories. Here is an overview of what you can expect during the tour.

Visit to the Judenrampe

The Judenrampe was a crucial part of the Auschwitz complex, specifically designed for the unloading of trains carrying Jews from occupied territories. This process often marked the beginning of a harrowing journey, as many of the arrivals were sent directly to the gas chambers.

C.O.T building - "IG Farben Werk Auschwitz" Exhibit

The exhibit focuses on IG Farben, a major German chemical company that played a significant role in the Holocaust. The company was responsible for constructing and operating the Auschwitz-Monowitz camp, which was part of the larger Auschwitz complex. Here, you can view a range of artifacts, including documents, photographs, and personal belongings of the forced laborers.

Purpose of the SS Canteen

Constructed using forced labor, the SS Canteen was a facility built to serve the SS officers stationed at Auschwitz. It provided a place where officers could enjoy meals in relative comfort and luxury, a privilege starkly contrasting with the conditions faced by the camp's prisoners.

KL Auschwitz Wirtschaftshof – Bor/Budy camp

It functioned primarily as a forced labor camp, where prisoners were subjected to grueling work conditions. One of the most disturbing aspects of the camp was the practice of using human ashes in composting. This horrific method was a reflection of the extreme dehumanization and cruelty exercised by the Nazis.
