Description
Warsaw, is Poland’s capital and where Europe’s greatest Jewish Ghetto once stood. Here we find a number of historical sites, among them important monuments and memorials. From Warsaw we will travel to Chelmno, where the Nazis erected the world’s first extermination camp, Kulmhof. Near Chelmno lies another village, Dabie, where we can see traces of the three large population groups which once lived here in western Poland: Poles, Germans and Jews.
Traveling on to Krakow we find one of the most beautiful cities in central Europe. Here we'll see, among other things, the newly revived Jewish neighborhood, Kazimirz. From Krakow we'll go on a full day excursion to the former KZ Auschwitz, where we'll spend half the day in the so-called stammlager (Auschwitz I) and the rest in the former extermination site at Birkenau (Auschwitz II).
