Oswiecim

My first day trip from Krakow was the Auschwitz (Oswiecim) and Berkinow concentration camps. I took the train there from Krakow and thought there would be plenty of information when I arrived to guide me to the camps. But either I missed it or there just weren't any. So when I arrived I just followed other people figuring they were going to the same place -- and they were. Turns out it's about a 20 minute walk from the train station.

Once there I signed up for the full tour and film.

The first part of the tour took us through the Auschwitz portion of the large camp. Each of the buildings were set up as small museums with various items found at the camp.
