A journey through time and history: Auschwitz-birkenau
I would like to tell you that this will be a great day but I would be lying.
This will be a necessary day to be aware, to know, to learn from our past and to prevent it from happening again.
The pain experienced can be felt. It is always cold in this place. It is a difficult place, full of suffering and stolen dreams, full of stories with sad endings and darkness.
However, how can one shine again if one does not know the weight of the past and the mistakes made? So that it never happens again, let us discover this place together.

Zapiekanki Królewskie
If you are looking for cheap but tasty street food this is the place for you. I recommend you buy something for lunch before you leave for Auschwitz.
A quick stop here for an envy-inducing takeaway. Do you know what a Zapiekanka is? It is a baguette of bread toasted and stuffed in a variety of ways. I would tell you to try them all, they are each better than the last. The traditional ones are with cheese, mushrooms and ketchup.

Auschwitz-Birkenau - "Judenrampe"
Auschwitz is a place that should not have existed but still exists today to remember. To remember all those people whose lives were taken during World War II. Many would have liked to raze it to the ground, to forget that horror, but the survivors felt it was important to create a place of remembrance that would remain immovable and enduring.
Auschwitz constitutes the largest concentration camp complex built under the Nazi regime. It is divided into three main parts: Auschwitz I, Birkenau and Monowitz, the latter, however, is not accessible to tourists.
Auschwitz I is where it all began, the oldest part that was built in 1940 and had about 12,000 deportees; Birkenau is only 3 km from the first camp and was created 2 years later following the evacuation of the Polish population as the "Final Solution to the Jewish Problem," inside it were incarcerated over 90,000 people; Monowitz arose the following year, in October 1942 but did not come into full operation until 1944 when it too came to contain over 10,000 deportees.
Words can never explain the feelings experienced there. I needed time to metabolize what it was. Let emotions guide this tour of yours but always approach it with awareness and respect.
The museum is always open, 7 days a week. Closing time depends on the month of your visit. For more information, click here.
