Auschwitz concentration camp was the largest Nazi camp complex, consisting of Auschwitz I (the administrative center), Auschwitz II-Birkenau (the extermination camp), and numerous subcamps. Today, visitors can explore the preserved barracks, the ruins of gas chambers, and the memorial site at Birkenau. The camp's remains serve as a stark reminder of the atrocities committed during the Holocaust, with the iconic railway ramp and selection platform still visible.

- Walk through the wooden barracks that housed thousands of prisoners in inhumane conditions.
- Visit the ruins of Crematoria II and III, destroyed by the Nazis to hide evidence.
