Description

Embark on a poignant and educational journey with our Chelmno Kulmhof Concentration Camp Tour from Lodz, offering a profound opportunity to delve into the historical atrocities of the Holocaust.
Your journey of remembrance begins directly from your accommodation in Lodz, where you will be picked up at your chosen time by a private, comfortable vehicle. Accompanied by an English-speaking driver, you'll travel through the Polish countryside to the village of Chelmno, the site of the tragic events.

Upon arrival at the Chelmno Kulmhof Concentration Camp Museum, you'll meet with a local private guide, who will lead you through the site, providing detailed commentary and answering any questions you may have. The tour includes several key locations:

The Museum in the Granary: Here, you'll explore an exhibition dedicated to the history of the camp, providing context and understanding of its operation and the scale of the tragedy that unfolded.

Personal Belongings of the Victims: View a poignant collection of items that once belonged to the victims, including hygiene products, utensils, children's shoes, and watches, serving as a stark reminder of the lives brutally cut short.

Ruins of the Palace and Archaeological Site: Visit the site where victims were dispossessed before being led to their deaths in gas vans. The archaeological site with the outline of the palace basement poignantly marks the last route of the victims.

Memorials and Rzuchowski Forest: Pay your respects at the monument commemorating the thousands of victims of Nazi genocides and explore the Rzuchowski Forest, where burial pits were discovered.

After an immersive and respectful 2 hours of guided exploration, you will reconvene with your private driver for the return journey to Lodz, reflecting on the insights gained during your visit.
