- VISITING AUSCHWITZ-BIRKENAU - POLAND 🇵🇱 HOW TO GET TO AUSCHWITZ FROM KRAKOW?
We visited Auschwitz on Christmas Eve but didn't find it appropriate to post over the Christmas period but we wanted to make this video. We'll see you all tomorrow as we fly to Bucharest and start exploring the city!

People's suffering can still be felt there. However, you have to visit this place in person. This visit can change your life...
Totally agree, there’s no way of describing the feeling you have when you’re there, knowing what happened in the place you’re standing!
My Dad wanted to take me there, but I couldn't do it. I saw "Arbeit Macht Frei" and had a hard time breathing, so I begged off. Thanks again. I really like you two. Safe travels!
I imagine a lot of people feel that same way you did! Thank you!
A sad topic to end your stay in Poland with. But thank you for showing it to us. You did a good job to give us a bit of an impression about the place.
Thank you Jeroen, sorry this was the last Poland video but we didn’t want to post it over the Christmas period so felt this was the best time!
@@AshandKels Yes that was a good decision. Looking forward to your upcoming adventures in Romania!
Very helpful - thanks 🎉🎉
Everyone should go there once in a lifetime and experience that unbelievably tragic place…
We agree, there are no words to describe it 😔
Note 📝 @ Not everyone agrees #fineprint
Thank you 🙌🏽
Very informative video, thank you.
Thank you for watching!
The only way to prevent the history from being repeated is to remember it. Visiting places like this gives you perspective. Yes, we all know the numbers but these are pure abstraction, so hard to imagine. Seeing how huge this place is, and finding out that it was overcrowded is really terrifying. My grandma's brother, Antoni Czortek, was a Polish boxing champion, he was sent to Auschwitz, later to Mauthausen and forced by the SS guards to fight for his life in boxing matches. Thank you guys for being so respectful to this place and its history. Sadly, many young tourists are not, making funny selfies and posting to social media. I like you now even more, and though you left my homeland, I will follow your journey.
I hope you will return to Poland as I really enjoyed to see how my country has changed. I am already planning a trip to Katowice (thanks to you), I haven't been there like for 25 years and I am astounded how different it looks.
Thanks for the kind words and for the story of your grandmas brother! It’s somewhere we think you have to go to experience rather than reading about it in books. Thanks for watching ☺️
Chers Ash & Kels, Merci pour cette visite d'un lieu qui a vu tant de souffrances. Le roi Salomon explique la raison : "J'ai vu tout cela, et mon cœur a examiné toute oeuvre qui se fait sous le soleil, durant le temps où l'homme domine l'homme pour son malheur". - Ecclésiaste 8:9. Bon séjour à Bucharest, en Roumanie.👏👏👏
Thank you!
I was there in 2016, a very interesting day, we was with a gide all day, pleased I have been but would I go again I didn't know.
We would agree!
A sad topic of your travel but important to see. Not everything is great and beautiful and this happen very often. Regarding Auschwitz I repeat the words from a book: "People to people caused this fate" "Ludzie ludziom zgotowali ten los".
You guys did this video with great dignity and respect,proud of you both! I went there many years ago with my then g/f whom was/is Polish .She went there she informed me 3 times( by now of course) 1. when she was a young Polish communist league member 2 with me and finally i believe a few years ago with her 16 year old daughter(felt the right age to know this history) Marta.. Alina if u are viewing this, hope you and Marta made this TRIP?
again guys, respect to u both!
Thank you very much, this means a lot to us! It was a difficult one to film!
@@AshandKels yes even 8 decades later,its hard to grasp.Let us know if u ever head towards Belgrade
hi... can you pay on bus by credit card?...
Thank you for the video. I´m planning a trip to Krakow. Can you get toured guide there without booking 2 months in advance? How did you do it? I saw, that there was different kind of general tour times, so is 3,5 h tour enough to see everything you need?
You can book directly on the website, if you type it into google it’ll be one of the top searches! When you’re on the website you can book a slot, either in a group or without a guide! We booked a few days in advance and didn’t have a problem, it’s worth looking earlier than that though! Thank you for watching, hope you enjoy your trip ☺️
@@AshandKels Thank you :)
you can try the traditional Polish dish of noodles
Hi, are they charging for the entry pass now? I see we have to reserve online and it charges like 75 or 85. I've heard many people the entrance is free, and on their website it says the grounds are free but, you need an entry pass to visit, and they're charging for the entry pass. I'm confused. We're doing a self-guided tour. No tour guide.
We booked a slot online with no guide online and we didn’t have to pay anything! We enjoyed going with no guide as you were able to walk around at your own pace and there’s plenty of signs explaining what everything is! It’s a tough place to visit but a real eye opener!
@@AshandKels How did you do this? I've tried booking online without a guide but it asks me to pay.
Were you able to enter and go on your own without a guide ? And what time were you allowed to enter. I read not until after 2pm..
Whuch really is not enough time to see the entire complex..
We were, we had to book a slot online! Some were at 10am, others after 2pm! The slots in the middle of the day seemed to be for the guided tours! We went with the 10am slot!
someone says that if u was in birkenau museum, your life ll never be the same
Good post, I think travel agencies in Krakow are putting price for this trip too high when you can easily do it on your own.
I agree, The tickets are free and the bus cost us a total of 60pln (£12) return for both of us!
@@AshandKels it is exactly as my friend from Manchester did it few years ago.I didn't even was aware at that time that tickets are free.
@@AshandKels trying to plan this trip, what website did you get the free tickets? Great video!
@@blackhawks1870 yeah we got the free tickets! Get there early and you should be good to go
@@AshandKels 60 pln for return journey or one way? And did you have to get the return bus from the same spot where you were dropped near Auschwitz 1?
How do you guys get back to Krakow after I have booked a ticket to get back to Krakow at 18:45 I was just wondering does the bus that takes you to the camp. Is that the same bus that takes you back
We got the same bus back 😊
@@AshandKels from camp I or camp II
Camp 1, where you enter the camp!
To brits.
1. Go krakow for lond weekend.
2. Dedicate day to Auschwitz-Birkenau.
3. Mind the trams.
4. Mind the vodka.
the city is much more interesting then camp
I can only see the free entry times start at 16:00 which is abit annoying. Doesn't seem like you can go earlier
It might have been different when we went as it had recently opened back up due to covid!
remeber guys.Oświęcim is german nazizist created in Poland.not polish camp where nazist done hell
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I'd say Auschwitz is more rewarding as it was left in tact by the Germans, you really can see what went on there. Birkenau not so much but what you see there is an increase in the scale of the operation (murder).
After visiting this place I felt sick for next few days. What Germans did there is way beyond what average human can imagine.
I was Nazis. This is important because the events of that time do not depend on the origin but on the profess ideologies. And these are still alive even in Poland. Any national socialist or far right movements are just it. It is frightening when you read the principles of Nazism and find that there are parties and organizations all around you that proclaim exactly the same thing.
@@natalia001 Idk, I`m not very politically correct because history also isn`t. Tricky question for you: what was language Nazis were using? Were they speaking Nazi?
@@natalia001 Wait a second... You were Nazi?
@@natalia001 It's actually quite astounding how little you understand about these events! To put the Holocaust on a par with any political views today is really ignorant, but I don't expect you to understand it.
@@natalia001 Nazi = Germany, same peoples
This is a place that everyone should visit. but only as a mature person. Immature minds cannot understand. That feeling when you slowly becomes aware of the evil that grows with each step and gave so much suffering that the mind begins to defend itself. Millions of lives and an enormous amount of suffering...
We agree, there’s no way of describing how it feels standing in the place where it all happened!
@@AshandKels We know others know, but it is still alive. Maybe not exactly in that form, but it still happens. Slowly, drop by drop. This evil has not died. Thats why we all have to shout loudly. For everyone else to hear! Thank you for taking your "dose of pain". I believe it will change at least one person. At least one. Never again!
German technology...
"auswitch"? 🤔
Sorry if we pronounced it incorrectly!
I don’t recommend people to visit this place.
Why?

Understandably germans would like world to forget atrocities they commited and war crimes.
@@charonboat6394 Dude, almost no-one denies Germany's responsibility for WWII. No one says that the majority of Nazi war criminals weren't Germans. But there were other Nazis nationals. For ex. The 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Galician) was mostly consist of Ukrainians and Slovaks
15th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Latvian) and
19th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (2nd Latvian): Latvians and Lithuanians. etc. etc...

@@tjblues01 Yeah, there was some other nations in nazis uniforms, but why are you so obstinately shouting about it? It was minor importance...NAZIS = GERMANS (and a couple percent of other weak nations)
@@erykjefret1507 Why? Simple, because it is a *false statement.* It is hasty / faulty generalization fallacy.
Not ALL Germans were Nazi. Not ALL Nazis were German. Therefore Nazis =/= Germans.
Have a look how Poles get frustrated when somebody call Poland racist or anti-Semitic country. Using the same language as yours we can assert that anti-Semitism in other countries is of a minor importance and it's a couple percent of other weak nations.
Couple percent? Do you know which states were part of the Axis? Those couple percent served in German army but Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Finland and Italy had their own fascists. What about Chetniks, Serbian nationalists and their ethnical cleansings? By your definition they also were Germans...
I'm not defending Germans of WWII era. *I'm defending logic and the rational reasoning.*
