Oswiecim Hotels - Reviews and Rates

On Friday, April 17, my history class visited the Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau sites just outside of Krakow. Our day started very early. We left the hotel at around 7:30 am and took the approximately 1 hour bus ride to the first camp, Auschwitz I. For those of you who do not know, the infamous Auschwitz camp that we all are familiar wit...

Although many things have been said over the years about this place, I find that their is almost nothing that can be said to descibe this place. No personal photos will ever be able to give enough insight into this place, no pictures on the internet. The feeling of standing within both camps can never be fully experienced through photos, for th...

I will be processing this day for quite some time. Between 1 and 1.5 million Jews were murdered between the Auschwitz and Birkenow camps (as well as Polish dissidents, intellectuals, Gypsies, and Soviets). Everything about the place is beyond belief, from the horrible living conditions of those who were chosen to "live" to the efficiency with wh...

After leaving the fun in Krawkow, we visited another concentration camp - Auschwitz. Just the name gives harrowing and painful thoughts. It was a painful trip, not enjoyable, but something that I felt better after doing. We toured bot the camp, with barracks full of exhibits and the remaints of the railway station and crematoria. The setting was...

(Jim) It has taken me two weeks to write the entry for this day's visit. In the interest of consistency, I am writing in the same immediate-past-tense voice as our other entries: Today we visited the Nazi concentration and death camps, Auschwitz and Birkenau, which are about one hour outside of Krakow. We hired a car and driver named xxxxx. With...

Yesterday we went to Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps. A very surreal experience. Arbeit Macht Frei...that is the entrance to Auschwitz, filled with empty promises and representing so many people lost. Auschwitz was filled with buildings holding barracks and also ones for the Nazis as offices or whatnot. There was a wall between two buildi...

Many times during my life, I have traveled someplace that I just had to see, only to be adisappointed. Auschwitz, was not one of them. But, for now I will leave you with this website, www.auschwitz.org.pl when you get to home page, there is more and better information then I could share at this time. To see some of the images I have seen today, ...

Hi everyone - Our little travel egg alarm clock woke us early today so that we could prepare for a full day of touring Poland. We began the day with a typical Polish breakfast - ham and eggs, and for those who are anxious to hear - the coffee is wonderful in Krakow! Our tour bus met us a few yards down from our hotel to begin our journey. We kne...

Me and Ritchie headed to Auschwitz. We spent ages looking for the bus station and met some South Africans who were going to Zakopane for a day trip?!! We found the bus with minutes to spare. It was a good hour and a half away buet we spent most of the time on the bus trying to work out if the guys behind us were German or not. Still to this day ...

that wasn't the happiest day of my life but i wanted to go there in memory of the holaucost
