Overview

Auschwitz was established in 1940 It was the biggest Nazi concentration camp for Poles and prisoners from other countries. They were condemned by the Hitlerite fascism to isolation and slow extermination by hunger, exhausting work, criminal experiments, or to a quick death as a result of individual and mass executions. A place definitely worth seeing.

I think our guide said that you have to enter the camp before 09:00 or after 17:00 if you are not booked on an official guided tour. There are buses from Krakow but not sure what time they start in the morning.
