- Panstwowe Muzeum Auschwitz-Birkenau - Embark on a 6-hour journey from Krakow to explore the historical Nazi concentration camps of Auschwitz and Birkenau. Starting in June 1940, Auschwitz became the prison for Jews and over 700 individuals deemed political offenders, marking the commencement of horrific acts.
Birkenau, constructed by the captives of Auschwitz, was operational as a death camp by October 1941. It is estimated that between 1 and 1.5 million people were executed there, with Jews constituting about 90 percent of the fatalities.
In the face of liberation in January 1945, the SS tried to demolish the camp and eliminate all records. Their efforts were only partly effective. Subsequently, the Polish government took steps to preserve the site as a tribute to those who perished.
