Don’t just take our word for it, this is how our previous travellers rate this tour.
The murder of more than six million Jews during the Second World War remains one of the darkest but defining aspects of the conflict. On this new tour we look at some key aspects of the Holocaust in the area that was German occupied Poland during WW2 and examine the experience of war for the Polish people. We tour the terrifyingly massive Auschwitz Concentration Camp, go to Oscar Schindler’s Factory and discover the story of Schindler’s List. We also walk the Krakow Ghetto and see the Museum of the Polish Home Army.
