Auschwitz tour should be an obligatory part of the programme for the school groups visiting Poland. A visit to this place gives the students an opportunity to experience the history and is usually an inspiration for a further discussion. Most of the school groups choose the standard Auschwitz tour : a visit to Auschwitz camp, where they see the prisoner's blocks, gas chamber and the crematorium combined with the brief tour of Birkenau (wooden barracks, unloading ramp, Memorial, ruins of crematorium).The Auschwitz tour can be extended by the film projection, special study visit (6 h) or a meeting with a camp survivor. Such extended Auschwitz tour gives possibility to focus on particular aspects of the Holocaust history or to follow the biography of one of the prisoners, what makes the visit more involving for the students.
