Auschwitz - Birkenau profound tour
The tour is important to me because you have opportunity to find out more about difficult polish history. I think it should be visited by everyone. The former Nazi camp is situated 76 kilometers (50 miles) from Cracow. Concentration Camp - the fortified walls, barbed wires, platforms, barracks, gallows, gas chambers and cremation stoves show the conditions in which the Nazi genocide took place in the formed concentration and extermination camp of Auschwitz- Birkenau.
