• Auschwitz-Birkenau - “Judenrampe” - The Judenrampe, or Jewish Ramp, served as a railway unloading platform during the Holocaust from 1942 to 1944 at the Auschwitz concentration and extermination camp. It was situated between the Auschwitz I (main camp) and Auschwitz II-Birkenau camps.

Today, the Judenrampe stands as a memorial site with plaques commemorating the victims. Unlike the infamous “Gate of Death” at Birkenau, the Judenrampe played a crucial yet lesser-known role in the mass deportations.

• Panstwowe Muzeum Auschwitz-Birkenau - The tour begins at Auschwitz camp, entering through the gate of Auschwitz I, the first camp, initially established as a concentration camp for Polish citizens arrested after Germany annexed the country in 1939. Visitors pass under the notorious sign “Arbeit Macht Frei” (Work Makes You Free). This part of the tour typically lasts two hours, with headsets provided to ensure clear communication from the guide. Group sizes are limited to 30 people, in accordance with the Museum’s regulations, ensuring a comfortable and accessible experience for all. Explore the original wooden barracks, fortified walls, barbed wire fences, gas chambers, and crematoria, which together leave a haunting impression and help visitors understand the vast scale of the Holocaust.
• Auschwitz II Historical Gate - Following the Auschwitz camp visit, the tour proceeds to the second, larger camp—Birkenau (Auschwitz II), located just 3 minutes away from Auschwitz. Birkenau, the largest camp, was constructed and operated with the sole aim of making Europe “Judenrein” (free of Jews). The guide continues the impactful narrative at Birkenau, situated in the village of Brzezinka. Built in 1941 under the orders of SS commander Heinrich Himmler, the camp could accommodate approximately 90,000 prisoners. Visitors will hear poignant accounts of the harsh living conditions, the cruel selection process, and the pseudo-scientific medical experiments conducted by Nazi doctors, including Josef Mengele. The tour concludes with the story of liberation when soldiers from the 60th Army of the First Ukrainian Front opened the gates of Auschwitz on January 27, 1945, leaving participants with a deep understanding that such genocide should never have occurred—and must never happen again.
