A Visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau – the Death Factory of the Holocaust

The Auschwitz-Birkenau memorial takes visitors into the darkest chapter of German history. This extermination camp was established in Germany-occupied Poland and at least 1.1 million people mostly Jews, were murdered there by the Nazi regime. The Soviet Army liberated the camp on 27 January 1945. We take you to a tour through one of the world’s most visited places.
