Auschwitz and Wieliczka Salt Mine in one day
Save the time and money – visit both places in one day!
Auschwitz-Birkenau was a Nazi death camp, created and operated by the Third Reich. The camp was built in May 1940 and existed until late 1944. It has become a symbol of Holocaust, extermination, and terror. During the period of 1940-1944 not less (probably much more) than 1.5 million of people (90% of them were Jews) were killed predominantly in the gas chambers, and after the mass murders, their bodies were burned in crematoria. After the Second World War Poland founded a museum on the site of Auschwitz and Birkenau. After two years – in 1979 it was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visiting this place is strongly emotional and touching. It’s also definitely shocking because these places are real. Everyone shouldn’t miss the opportunity to visit Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum. Sightseeing death camp gives the chance to understand the history and gives hope that after such a strong lesson people will never again repeat the tragedy from 70 years ago.
