Well, actually the CEO of Auschwitz Museum is our fellow Wikipedian, who edit Wikipedia since 2004 and he suggested to organize something Wikipedia related on numerous occasions. Museum has a very well equiped Education Center:
https://www.auschwitz.org/en/education/
with multiple activities devoted to specific groups of people - so I guess arranging something Wikipedia specific - outside the official Wikimania program - before or after Wikimania - could be quite possible - and I guess there might be quite a number of people interested.

Hi Harry
I know the COT's are always looking at options and excursions around Wikimania but this is one place where it would be better to make your own arrangements as you said it has a terrible history. This is one place that's best left to the individual, I'm not even sure I would want to share experiencing that place with other people I dont know. On a personal level. I'd hate to have to deal with a person who took the tour not knowing the horrors of the place and having to address that as a T&S person. As all these organised side events also need critical numbers and some one two organisor best to focus on local with minimal issues from attending

Hi all,
I'm sure the organisers have a lot on their plate right now so I don't
want to add any unnecessary pressure, I was just wondering if any thought had been given to an organised excursion of Wikimedians to Auschwitz during Wikimania as Krakow seems reasonably close?
I know this is a sensitive topic and likely to be deeply distressing but
I'm sure many of us would find it worthwhile.
