Join us on this 11-day tour to discover the WWII legacy of Poland, where some of the greatest atrocities and the finest acts of selflessness took place, from the institution of the labor and extermination camps to the factory where Oskar Schindler saved more than a thousand Jewish lives. We visit Hitler’s Wolfsschanze, or Wolf’s Lair where German military officers unsuccessfully attempted to assassinate the Nazi leader during the plot of July 20, 1944. Through tours of Krakow’s and Warsaw’s Jewish districts and the infamous concentration camps of Auschwitz-Birkenau and Treblinka we recognize the indomitable spirit of the Polish people under German occupation. We will explore how the locals fought heroically against the Nazi forces in an uneven and desperate fight during the Warsaw Uprising and learn about the peaceful struggle against the communist rule after the war which contributed to the fall of the Iron Curtain.
