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.
Take a look at our sample itineraries, where you'll find the full selection of visits available to include in your history tour.
We can include a variety of alternative and fun experiences to provide opportunities for cultural immersion, student bonding, and a change of pace from the more poignant elements of your tour.
