Want to experience hell? The Auschwitz museum administration has got you covered. I can’t imagine a more incompetent and poorly organized visitor experience. This was, without exaggeration, the worst-managed museum I’ve ever been to.

First, you stand in line for two hours outside — in the rain, cold, or blazing sun — just to print an already purchased online ticket by showing your passport. Then comes a second line for security, again about two hours. There, they check the exact same ticket and passport again. Why?! Why duplicate the same procedure? Why not just do it once or, better yet, let the guide hand out the tickets beforehand? And why do they check our passports? This is literally CRAZY!!!

Then there’s airport-style security: metal detectors, bag scanners. What exactly are they looking for — terrorists? This is a museum, not a high-security zone. The entire process is inefficient, exhausting, and frankly insulting to visitors.

In Birkenau, the guard barely glanced at the ticket. But at Auschwitz I, you’re treated like you’re trying to infiltrate a classified government facility.

The infrastructure is a disaster: one tiny toilet for crowds of a thousand, a tiny cafeteria with a single checkout, and zero crowd management. People come here from all over the world, with reverence and reflection — and instead are met with chaos, frustration, and discomfort.

It genuinely feels like the museum management has never gone through this process themselves. There is plenty of memory here, but absolutely no respect...

Very enlightening and puts into reality everything we were taught in school about the holocaust. I have been to two things in my life that have left me in awe, the immensity of the Grand Canyon, and the horrors displayed at the Hiroshima museum. Now a third, the shocking reality of what a person is fully capable of on a mass scale. It is not possible to see the grounds in full in a single visit if you take the time to read all the information displays. Go early in the day and go on your own so you can read and fully understand what atrocities the people were put through. This is a solemn place and I personally feel that tour groups should not be allowed. They are loud and really detract from the inner thoughts all are unavoidably in. While there the most respectful people were the individuals who were there separate...

Alors que la guerre frappe une fois de plus aux portes de l'Europe, le plus grand camp d'extermination d'Auschwitz-Birkenau était libéré il y a 80 ans, le 27 janvier 1945, par ceux-là même qui aujourd'hui menacent la paix dans ce monde. Auschwitz-Birkenau est l'endroit où la solution finale de la question juive élaborée par les Nazis a atteint son paroxysme. 1,3 million de personnes y ont été exterminées en quelques mois. Comme à Verdun, ce lieu aurait dû être sacré à tout jamais. Nous n'aurions pas dû entendre de bruit, nous n'aurions pas dû voir tous ces lotissements, ces entreprises, ces magasins construits sur des cendres humaines dispersées tout autour du camp 2 de Birkenau ou à proximité du camp 1 principal (Stammlager). Pire le camp 3 de Buna-Monowitz à 7km a disparu, de belles maisons sont construites sur toute l'emprise du camp. Le jardin de l'une d'entre elles dispose encore d'une trappe en béton abritant un des points d'eau du camp et des fondations encore visibles des 2 crématoires soi-disant provisoires du camp. Ici, 12 000 personnes y ont été internées et massacrées pour les besoins du complexe chimique nazi IG Farben de l'autre côté de la route. Un comble qui ne dérange personne aujourd'hui. Malheureusement, on a l'impression d'être dans un parc d'attraction, une sorte de Futuroscope entièrement cloisonné et surveillé. L'organisation prévoit une visite guidée incontournable des 2 camps. 1h à la caserne du camp 1, puis un bus nous emmène au camp 2 de Birkenau pour 2h de visite à grands pas. A plus de 25 € la place, à la queuleuleu, derrière un guide parfois inaudible et très pressé. J'attendais plus de solennité, plus de recueillement, plus de calme, plus de rigueur. Tout cela manque de respect. C'est très grave. Je ne suis pas sûr que tous ces groupes de jeunes gambadant dans la luzerne comme des Bisounours sous les yeux de leurs professeurs comprennent à coup de selfie la tragédie de la Shoa. Les responsables du Mémorial d'Auschwitz devraient aller chercher l'inspiration et visiter les terres sacrées de la Meuse. Ces 20 km2 où la sérénité éternelle du champ de bataille nous transcende. Le Mémorial de Verdun avec l'ossuaire de Douaumont campé au-dessus du cimetière militaire au milieu de la forêt de sapins est un site incomparablement beau et éternel. Il renvoi immanquablement le visiteur à la réflexion de l'immense responsabilité de l'humanité. Honneurs aux morts, aux morts... Je n'ai pas entendu la minute de silence après...

Do 3 stelle non al luogo in sé perché secondo me è da vedere almeno una volta nella vita, quanto alla guida e all’organizzazione. Avevamo prenotato una visita guidata con diverse settimane di anticipo. Il giorno della visita (sabato) abbiamo preso il treno che da Cracovia ci avrebbe portato a Oświęcim. Purtroppo il treno ha avuto dei problemi per cui saremmo arrivati in ritardo rispetto all’ora di inizio della visita. Volevamo chiamare per avvisare e chiedere informazioni a riguardo, se potevamo comunque aggregarci o andare in un altro turno ma purtroppo il servizio clienti è chiuso nel weekend. Dalla stazione al museo c’è una navetta al prezzo di 4 PLN. Arrivati all’ingresso ci siamo ritrovati davanti ad una fila esageratamente lunga. Per fortuna, spiegando la situazione, ci hanno fatti passare subito ai controlli e una ragazza dello staff ci ha accompagnati per farci aggregare a quello che era il nostro gruppo (qui devo dire che sono stati gengilissimi). Ahimè ci siamo persi 30 minuti di visita, siamo passati sotto il famoso cancello senza praticamente accorgerci perché eravamo presi a seguire la ragazza che ci accompagnava. La guida non ci è piaciuta, molto sbrigativa, non si aveva il tempo di osservare particolari e magari contemplare un po’ i luoghi. I gruppi sono troppo numerosi, se ci si ritrova in fondo si ascolta già la spiegazione della cosa successiva quando ancora si deve vedere quella precedente. Delle volte la radio non riceve nemmeno quando la guida si trova in stanze o ambienti diversi dal tuo. È un continuo “non fermiamoci perché devono passare anche gli altri”. Avremmo voluto tornare dentro una volta finito il giro con la guida per “riprendere” i luoghi che ci siamo persi all’inizio, ma purtroppo non era possibile rientrare. Da Auschwitz I a Birkenau c’è una navetta gratuita sia all’andata che al ritorno. Consiglio di portarvi acqua e cappello in estate perché la visita è quasi tutta all’aperto. Sicuramente tornerò in futuro ma, se ce ne sarà la possibilità, preferirò fare un tour in autonomia per visitare con calma quei luoghi.

Worst tourists possible. Idk how th does employee stand such behaving crowds. Greedy tourists only complain but dont respect place at all. Dont forget to behave correctly while visiting this place of respect. Aint no tourist attraction here. Dont do selfies. Behave! The saddest is that just the next days after so called liberation, soviet's were doing same things to germans and polish who were not loving marks.
