Begin your journey from Krakow with a visit to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial, a place of immense historical importance. On the way, we stop in Wadowice, the picturesque town where Saint John Paul II was born. Here, you take a moving guided tour of the family home of Karol Wojtyła and spend a quiet moment in the parish church where he was baptised.

We then continue to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial. The visit begins at the former Auschwitz I camp and includes the cell in which Saint Maximilian Kolbe suffered martyrdom. After a short break, we visit Auschwitz II-Birkenau, a place of unimaginable suffering where more than one million people, primarily Jews, were murdered in the gas chambers. Among the victims was Edith Stein, Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, an important Christian-Jewish martyr and patron saint of Europe.

The journey ends with the return to Krakow, leaving time for profound reflection and respect for history.
