MORE ABOUT THIS TRIP
Auschwitz School Trip
Auschwitz-Birkenau / WW2 / The Holocaust
No amount of published literature or reconstructed film footage can prepare you for the melancholy and sense of realisation that is felt as you experience an authentic former Nazi concentration camp.
A visit to Auschwitz, followed by a visit to Schindler's factory, the Jewish museum and the chance to meet with a Holocaust survivor, all make for a very emotionally-charged journey, but one that undoubtedly benefits your pupils, presenting them with a greater understanding about the harsh realities of life under the Nazi rule.

“School trips are difficult and take a lot of organisation; time is precious and limited in our profession, but I can honestly say that going with TTE was a life saver. Brilliantly efficient in the planning of our bespoke itinerary, no request was too much and we would not hesitate to recommend this tour company"
Mrs Stobbs, Head of Humanities, Blackpool
“From start to finish I feel that TTE have done an excellent job finding us the right trip for our needs. The range of activities available was perfect and gave us all valuable new experiences at great value for money.

Meet with a Holocaust survivor
Meeting with a Holocaust survivor is a truly unique opportunity. This is often the most touching and heartrending element of our Krakow school trip, where the stories are accounts of real events, as told by an actual survivor.
There are fewer sources of information available where your pupils will find such vivid detail and factual information, which in turn will cultivate your pupils’ knowledge of WW2 in a very exclusive way, whilst simultaneously delivering awareness to the masses of the very harsh realness of life under the unrelenting Nazi rule.
