Prague - Auschwitz - Krakow Trip
| Tour Description | Are you looking for a ride from Prague to Krakow (one way)? You can either hire a professional DRIVER-GUIDE or a DRIVER (cheaper alternative). The difference is that our experienced driver-guides also speak English very well and are holders of the official guide licence. Along the way, they can show you places of your interest and tell you much more than a driver. You can visit the following sights/cities: AUSCHWITZ Auschwitz-Birkenau became the killing centre where the largest numbers of European Jews were killed during the Holocaust. By mid 1942, mass gassing of Jews using Zyklon-B began at Auschwitz, where extermination was conducted on an industrial scale with some estimates running as high as three million persons eventually killed. 9 out of 10 were Jews. In addition, Gypsies, Soviet POWs, and prisoners of all nationalities died in the gas chambers. Between May 14 and July 8,1944, 437,402 Hungarian Jews were deported to Auschwitz in 148 trains. This was probably the largest single mass deportation during the Holocaust. Private diaries of Goebbels and Himmler unearthed from the secret Soviet archives show that Adolf Hitler personally ordered the mass extermination of the Jews during a meeting of Nazi German regional governors in the chancellery. As Goebbels wrote "With regards to the Jewish question, the Fuhrer decided to make a clean sweep ..." Only guides licensed by the Museum are authorized to serve visitors.
