This experience focuses on the lesser-known sites connected to the Auschwitz camp system, including places outside the standard Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum route.

During World War II, the sub-camps formed part of the wider Nazi concentration camp system. Located around Auschwitz-Birkenau, they served different economic, industrial and strategic functions, all closely connected to the main camp.

You'll visit Judenrampe, the arrival and unloading area used before the railway spur was extended into Birkenau, as well as former food storage buildings connected to the camp's supply infrastructure. The route also includes the former SS canteen, a building linked to the infrastructure that supported SS staff and camp operations.

The itinerary continues with the Women's Penal Subcamp, the only penal company for women in the history of Auschwitz, followed by the exhibition Auschwitz III Monowitz and IG Farben, which explores the industrial dimension of the crimes committed within the camp system. You'll also visit the Memorial Museum of the Inhabitants of the Oświęcim Region, presenting stories of residents who risked their lives to help prisoners.

The subcamps stand as a reminder of human suffering and cruelty, while also underlining the importance of remembering the past and opposing hatred and intolerance today. You'll join a group visit that combines historical exploration with quiet commemoration of the victims of the Holocaust.
