Children and an old woman are on the way to the Gas Chambers of Auschwitz-Birkenau (May 1944) / Deutsches Bundesarchiv (German Federal Archive)

Words cannot adequately describe the enormity or the horror that befell the Jewish population of Europe at the hands of the Nazi regime.

Although the world now knows the scale of this crime, the decades since have been spent trying to understand how the systematic extermination of a people could be conceived, planned and carried out with such ruthlessness.

Auschwitz and Krakow

As part of this process ANGLIA is committed to taking students to the scene of the worst of these atrocities, the infamous Auschwitz- Birkenau extermination camp.

Also, exploring the beautiful medieval city of Krakow and following the trail of the enigmatic Oscar Schindler, this tour allows students to develop their understanding of this difficult subject by visiting the sites for themselves.
