Krakow Auschwitz Background Information
The Holocaust
Based in Krakow our visit focuses on the German occupation of Poland, life in the Jewish ghetto and the concentration camps at Plaszow and Auschwitz – Birkenau. Our visit seeks to throw some light on how a human tragedy of such immense scale and proportions came about.
There is much about this visit that is puzzling and upsetting. Why did such a wealthy, civilized and cultured country like Germany descend into the depths of the abyss? How much did people know? If they knew why didn't they act? Why didn't people resist? How were individuals transformed from apparently normal men into psychotic sadists?
Please note that children under the age of 14 are not admitted to any part of Auschwitz We would suggest in any case that this trip is not suitable for young people under the age of 16.
"The brutality of the Holocaust is almost beyond comprehension. Auschwitz is profoundly sad and deeply moving"
