Krakow – This historic and beautiful city’s Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and contains one of the largest market squares in Europe, as well as a plethora of historic palaces, houses, and churches. Krakow is also home to Oskar Schindler’s Enamel Factory, where during WWII Schindler helped more than a thousand of his Jewish workers survive the Holocaust, as depicted in the movie “Schindler’s List,” and the Jewish quarter of Kazimierz, the heart of Krakow's Jewish community since medieval times.

Gdansk – This city on the Baltic is Poland’s primary seaport and rich in history. Some of its top attractions include the Museum of the Second World War, which presents guests with an in-depth look at Poland’s involvement in WWII; St. Mary’s Basilica, one of the largest brick churches in the world; and the Crane, a 15th-century wooden port crane used to load cargo onto ships on the Motlawa River that today is part of the National Maritime Museum. 

Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum – This former Nazi concentration and extermination camp, approximately 45 miles from Krakow, is a haunting reminder of the Holocaust, as more than a million men, women and children lost their lives here.
