This experience focuses on the lesser-known sites connected to the Auschwitz camp system, including places outside the standard Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum route.
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.
During World War II, the Auschwitz 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.
Visiting these sites provides historical context and space for reflection. The sub-camps 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.
