Auschwitz
Krakow
Krakow was the historic
capital of Poland for
centuries, containing a
beautiful castle and one
of the oldest universities
in Europe. Krakow also
had an established Jewish
community, some four
centuries old, until the
Nazis arrived in 1939.
An hour away, the three
concentration camps of
Auschwitz received and
destroyed over one million
men, women and children
between 1941 and 1945.
Krakow and Auschwitz have
since become enduring and
deeply moving testaments to
the brutality and inhumanity
of war.
Not recommended for
children under 14 years
of age.
anniversary
tours
Throughout the year, significant dates stand out for
times of commemoration – 11 November, 1 July,
6 June. In some years, other dates take on greater
significance, such as the 70th anniversary of the
withdrawal of Dunkirk or the 95th anniversary of
Passchendaele. For years, 11 November apart,
many of these anniversaries were commemorated by
those who have a personal connection to the original
events, but as time goes on veterans, their families
and friends are either no longer with us or are unable
to keep the commemorations going.
We believe that these dates matter as they remind
us of people’s past experiences of wars as well
as connecting us to the reality of current conflicts.
That is why we have introduced our anniversary
tours programme. Schools and groups are invited
to book their tour to coincide with a significant
commemoration and, in addition to the regular parts
of their tour, we will enable participation in some of
the official commemorative events.
By booking an anniversary tour, students and their
schools or group (cadets, guides, youth clubs, etc)
will be helping to keep the memories alive of the
actual men and women that served and suffered all
those years ago. The young people will be part of
the future of Remembrance, not just observers of it.
Information about upcoming anniversaries will be
available on request and from our website.
