About this trip

Whilst most of the victims of the Holocaust perished in Poland and further east, the conception and planning of the Final Solution took place in Berlin. This fully guided tour traces the process by which such an unimaginable crime became reality.

Considering the role played by the organisations behind the Holocaust – the Gestapo and the SS – at the site of their former headquarters, the tour will also visit areas where Berlin’s Jewish community had lived and worked long before the Nazis came to power. From there we head east to Krakow to explore the pre-war Jewish community and its fate. The tour culminates with a full day study visit to the most notorious sites of all, the former concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Why choose Anglia for Guided History Trips?

At Anglia we care about our customers, our staff, the places we visit, the stories we tell and the organisations we work with. These key principles define who we are and what we do. We believe they are also the reason why Anglia is the market leader in fully-guided history trips for UK schools. We work with you to design a bespoke tour which meets the specific needs of your school and which supports what you are teaching in class. We start by asking what you want your students to see and what you want them to experience then build the tour around these requirements. A tour which, as the testimonials on our website show, your students will find thought-provoking, engaging and enjoyable.

Thank you for making the trip so much easier for me and for dealing with so many of the logistics. I always gain so much from these trips and always feel that I take away something different each time that I can use in the classroom. I just wanted to offer my heartfelt thanks for a wonderful and thought-provoking trip to Poland this weekend. Your organisation and support throughout made the experience a smooth process from start to finish and your expertise on Poland and Jewish/Nazi 'relations' offered a fascinating insight into such a harrowing period of history. I have learnt so much that I can use in my teaching and look forward to incorporating this into my lessons.
