An emotional experience at Auschwitz
Everyone has heard of the horrors that happened during the second World War. In Europe, Poland was hit hardest and millions of Jewish people died, many of them here at Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.
Located near the beautiful town of Krakow, you can easily visit this site on a day trip, either with your own transport or on one of the many tours.
You can visit some of the barracks to see the poor conditions in which the people lived. There are also many exhibitions showing some pictures as well as items from that time. But easily the most important part are the gas chambers where the people were put to death. You can't help but being moved.
The Museum is located on the outskirts of the city of Oświęcim on national road 933.
Admission to the grounds of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial is free.

The pictures are from the Auschwitz-Birkeneau in nowadays called town of Oswiecim - #poland . It is a place form the world war 2 and maybe everyone heard about it. The birkeneau is free for visiting and there is no need of reservation. However for the museum you need to book in advance even it costs 0$. The place is really interesting and worth a visit.

Just had a profoundly moving day at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum. The entrance is free, a stark reminder that some experiences are beyond any price tag. 🕊️
Walking through the gates sent shivers down my spine. The museum is a heartbreaking testament to the atrocities of the Holocaust. The exhibits are haunting, from personal belongings to the chilling photos that capture the unimaginable. 😢
Birkenau, the vastness of it, is almost surreal. Standing by the railway tracks, it hits you – the scale of the tragedy. The solemnity of the memorial and the remnants of barracks leave you in somber reflection. 🚂
The guided tour is incredibly informative, providing historical context and personal stories that humanize the unimaginable suffering. The memorial's commitment to education and remembrance is palpable. 📚
Post-visit, I took a moment at the nearby Oświęcim town square – a small but resilient town with its own history. It's a poignant continuation of the day's reflections. 🏰 #AuschwitzMemorial #HolocaustRemembrance #HumanityPrevails #NeverForget

Auschwitz: The Largest Nazi Extermination Camp
Auschwitz - The Largest Nazi Extermination Camp. A must-visit on your Poland itinerary, where at least 1 million souls perished before the camp was liberated by the Soviets in 1945.

harrowing Auschwitz
a 100% must do, it is important we visit these places so that we do not forget the horrendous atrocities that happened in our past, it is extremely well set up with knowledgeable guided tours, a very sad and head dwelling experience but also one i feel everyone must see and experience, i actually had a good time in krakow too as it is a lovely city! A pilgrimage that everyone must make to understand how despicable we humans can be

Embarked on a day trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum from Krawkow, Poland. It was insightful but extremely heartbreaking to learn about the tragic story of the Holocaust at the largest Nazi concentration camp from World War II. #krakow #auschwitz-Birkenau #holocaust #historywalk

The biggest Concentration Camp in World War II
Some places you visit for their beauty, others for their iconic status. And some places – some places you visit because they should never be forgotten.
This’s the largest concentration camp by Nazis and it’s very worth going if you want to know about the holocaust history and reflect on the situation in the world right now. It is indeed a sad and shocking place.
I recommend going with an organized tour as getting there yourself is a bit of a hassle.

It may be discerning, or may prefer the old house (it will be a good thing sooner or later), and book an old house, this time in the Jewish quarter of Krakow, Poland. Although I took more than 800 churches, I was telling the truth for the first time in Judaism. Many times before, I encountered renovations in Jewish churches, and there were not many synagogues in Europe. The Auschwitz concentration camp, 54 km west of Krakow, was the largest concentration camp and extermination camp established by the Nazis during the Second World War. The landlord was very enthusiastic to help me book a car to the concentration camp. In fact, my heart is Some resistance, the concentration camp must be a very heavy place, the traveler is so contradictory, not only to witness the pain, but also to share the joy, so still go to "visit" the concentration camp. I will not let go of the pictures. Most of them are not photographed. It is also a respect for the deceased. History teaches us not to repeat the same mistakes.
There is a alley behind the old house, there is an antique shop, the sky, the big hidden in the city! I patiently picked it up for a long time and finally picked a beautifully carved wood carving. I suspected that it was lifted from a certain piece of furniture. It looked like it was bought especially. It was not expensive for ten dollars. I was thinking, this grandfather opened. An antique shop that no one will patronize, and all the things in it are ten or twenty. It is not expensive at all. Is it waiting for some of his relatives to buy him a special item like in the novel? But at least I am not his good person. The Jewish quarter and the central market are completely different styles. One is like a calm uncle, a more handsome guy like the sun. On the one hand, it is cold and clear, while the other is singing and dancing. Its hard to say in the same city. Is it ironic or cultural diversity.
