History trips to Krakow

Krakow is a must for KS5 students who are focusing the Holocaust and the Rise of Nazism. There is no better place to ask the deeper questions. It is also suitable for SQA Higher & Advanced Higher studies.

A visit to Krakow gives your History students an in depth study of life in the Jewish community before the war and subsequently life in the make-shift ghetto before deportation to extermination camps. History lessons will never be the same again, once students experience the life-changing part of history that Krakow has to offer.

Our expert local guides will take you through Kazimierz, Krakow's Jewish Quarter and on to Podgorze wartime ghetto to begin the story. Your students will also make the emotional and highly poignant journey to Auschwitz. The learning opportunities for History students are almost limitless.
