I am very grateful that there are these guided tours in Spanish. History is very valuable and we cannot forget it, especially this Auschwitz. The guide expressed much respect with the story which caused me a tremendous emotion and sense to this painful part of history and that it will never be repeated again. A hug to the Polish-Jewish people and may this place of memory be kept forever as a tribute to all those who passed through there.

The experience is interesting and well explained, the only thing missing is that they left some free time to explore the second concentration camp, which looks fast and running.

The pick up was on time and we had a very good guide who knew very much and did a great job. Only downside was, that I received an email the same morning asking if I wanted a lunch bag, and I emailed back saying "yes thank you" but there was none for me. But I could buy food there, so no problem. Also some of my friends booked the same tour but theirs was changed to another time so I did not know anybody else on my tour. Again, this was not a big problem

An enduring symbol of one of the greatest crimes on humanity ever perpetrated, the Holocaust museum at Auschwitz stands as a memorial to the millions who were ruthlessly murdered by the Nazi regime and a testament to the strength of those who survived to tell the tale. Within the barbed wire fences of the camps at Auschwitz and Birkenau, 1.5 million victims lost their lives to the many atrocities committed by the sadistic SS guards and the kapos to fulfill the Nazi Final Solution. Learn more about the unfortunate inmates of the death camps and their tragic stories on this guided tour.

Further, you will be led through the camp at Birkenau, where you can see for yourself the horrendous living conditions the prisoners were subjected to, and the gas chambers where they were executed en masse.
