“Heel interessant, uitermate leerrijk en heel confronterend. Goede uitleg door de Engelstalige gids. Tip: misschien de tour niet nemen met een begeleide bustour vanuit krakow maar zelf aansluiten bij een groep via get your guide.

Dan kan je nog veel meer zien van Birkenau omdat je na de rondleiding vrij bent en niet met de bus terug moet. Hetgeen je met de gids ziet is minder dan dat je zelf nog eens vrij rond loopt want Birkenau is gigantisch groot…”
