During a study visit to Krakow your learners can explore the city’s rich historical legacy. The Kazimierz Jewish district and a visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau bring home the realities of Nazi occupation. A great destination for students of Religious Studies.

Perfect sequencing of activities- we are very pleased to visit Auschwitz on the first day as some students were a little apprehensive about the nature of this visit. It also worked really well to visit the salt mines the next morning to lift the mood a little before continuing to explore the Holocaust at Schindler’s factory.

It’s very difficult to put into words how much fun we had, the students that I teach come from one of the most socially deprived areas in the north west so to be able to give them this opportunity was amazing. Thank you for helping me create my dream. Gateacre School
