The Nazis & the Holocaust School Trip to Berlin & Krakow
6 days, 5 nights
From £435 per person
A school trip to Krakow is the ideal choice for both history and religious studies groups studying the Nazis and the Holocaust.
One of the main reasons for school groups to visit Krakow is to learn more about what happened to the city’s Jewish community in the early 20th century. First, they were forcibly moved into the city’s ghetto, to separate them from the rest of the city’s residents. And from there, they were transported to one of the Nazi extermination camps, such as nearby Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Your students will, of course, have the opportunity to visit Auschwitz on your school trip. They will learn more about what happened here and how the Nazis industrialised murder. They will also have the chance to find out more about some of the individual victims. This will be a sobering yet unforgettable experience and the best lesson they could ever receive on why tolerance is so important and why hate cannot be allowed to take over.

Krakow is Poland’s best-preserved city, having largely escaped the destruction that most other large cities in the country experienced during the Second World War. This makes it a wonderful setting in which to learn more about general Polish history and culture.
Although Poland’s capital was moved from Krakow to Warsaw in the 16th century, the city’s famous Wawel Hill, home to the royal castle and the 14th century cathedral, continued to be the focus for royal coronations and funerals. This is well worth a visit on your school trip to Krakow, to learn about a different era of Polish history.
Another must-see is the Wieliczka Salt Mines. The highlight of your visit will, without a doubt, be the Chapel of St. Kinga, which is all carved out of salt, from the altar to the statues and even the chandeliers!
