The Auschwitz-Birkenau complex was established in 1940 in place of old polish army barracks. Originally to hold Polish POW`s political prisoners, and operated until its liberation by advancing soviets in 1945. During its operation, more than 1.5 million Jewish, Polish, Italian and French prisoners were brought here ,of which 1.1m. was exterminated as part of largest genocide in human history. Leaving survivors terribly scared for live. The Auschwitz complex comprises of original buildings and you can see the original roads, fences, watchtowers and railway ramps, and death wall.

BrzezinkaThe second part of the tour - Birkenau - is the largest camp of over 40 camps and sub-camps from the Auschwitz complex. Originally planned as a camp for Soviet prisoners of war, it eventually became a concentration camp for prisoners of various nationalities and a center of the extermination of Jews. Its construction began in October 1941 by the hands of slave labourers, in a place of a displaced and mostly demolished village of Brzezinka and three kilometres from Auschwitz I. It was designed to hold 125 000 prisoners at one time. Who was from the start destined to die from cold, hunger, diseases, and exhaustion. Prisoners were treated as redundant and easily replaceable workforce. You will see unimaginable living conditions; prisoners have to adapt. You can walk to preserved camp barracks. You will see the rail ramp, where infamous Dr. Mengele oversaw the selection process of new arrivals, when a split second decided your life or death in gas chambers. They were only 200m away.
