It includes blocks in which inhumane medical experiments were taking place or places where inmates were brutally punished (“standing cell” “cell of starvation”). Auschwitz I is a place, from where Nazi leadership directed all camp activity and where everything started. While entering this part of the camp you’ll walk under the infamous gate with “Arbeit macht Frei” inscription. Visiting this part of the museum takes about 1,5 hour.
  • Auschwitz II-Birkenau covers as much as 171 ha. It consists of numerous prisoners’ wooden barracks, ruins of gas chambers and crematoriums. Above all, it’s the place, where over 1 million Jews lost their life within the frameworks of one of the most terrifying operation in the world’s history – the Holocaust.Visiting this part takes about 1 hour and it includes mostly walking in an open air.

Museum in Auschwitz was created in 1947, just 2 years after the war ended. First visitors appeared there while still ongoing excavation works. Today, the place is extremely attractive among all visitors of Poland.

The museum’s collection includes:

  • 191 ha of terrain (Auschwitz – 20 ha, Auschwitz II – 171 ha)
  • 155 camp objects (barracks, blocks, original camp buildings)
  • 300 ruins (including numerous gas chambers and several crematoriums)

You can get there by using means of public transport that include train or bus from Wroclaw to Auschwitz. They depart from the main station in Wroclaw. However, you need to keep in mind that there is no direct connection and you’ll have to change trains or buses in Katowice. Such journey can take even up to 5 hours one-way. It can be especially inconvenient during winter months.
