About the Experience

A virtual reality (VR) tour of the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp, using a VR headset.

Join an incredible, poignant, electrifying 3D experience in Poland — without leaving your location. Don a VR headset and an experienced tour guide will take you on a 48-minute tour that will leave you feeling closely connected to earlier generations.

The tour begins in the vibrant Jewish community of Kraków and then moves on to the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp. Throughout the tour, the spotlight focuses on timeless Jewish heroism. The VR tour provides the closest experience to actually being there. You will be accompanied by Rabbi Yisrael Goldwasser, a leading Holocaust lecturer and researcher.
