Krakow History School Trips & Tours - The Holocaust
A history school trip to Krakow will provide an in-depth study of the Jewish community in the city, one of the most important centres of Jewish life in pre-war Europe.
The evidence of the wartime experience of the Jewish population in ghettos such as Podgorze, coupled with a visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau, will enable pupils to develop a thorough, rounded picture of the experience of Jewish communities and discrimination in central Europe during the 20th century. During a thought-provoking study tour to Krakow with NST, your group will reflect on the religious and cultural life of the community and its ultimate fate.

Expert's comment
So much survives in Krakow that bears witness to pre-war Jewish life in Kazimierz and throughout this city. The evidence of the wartime experience of Europe’s Jewish population in ghettos such as Podgorze, coupled with a visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau, enables pupils to develop a thorough, rounded picture of the experience of Jewish communities in Central Europe during the 20th century.
