About this experience

The Auschwitz- Birkenau museum takes us back to the times of the II World War and lets us see what the life in Nazi concentration camp was like. This visit is a history class that gives you a unique opportunity of finding out the darkest recesses of human nature. There were more than 1 million people murdered over there, mainly Jews who had been brought from all the countries being occupied, or staying under the political influence of the German Nazis.
