Wroclaw: Tour to Auschwitz & Birkenau

Approximately 1 to 1,5 million people of 28 nationalities were slaughtered here, 90% of which were Jews. It is considered to be the biggest cemetery in the entire world. The camp has been preserved as a memorial and the prison blocks that have survived, were turned into a museum showing the history of the camp and of persecution in Poland during the war.
