I second that. Not surprisingly there aren't many visitors other than Brits and it's a bit of a challenge to find the place in the middle of the town as it's not well signposted. There were tours in English when we visited and the lady conducting the tour knew the place like the back of her hand along with all the history.
I can add to that, we visited a couple of years ago and had a personally conducted tour, it was worth it. We also slept in the town car park below the castle. The twist to our visit was that the main entrance was being worked on and we were directed round the back to another entrance which was locked. We had to break in!

I complimented our guide on his flawless English and Yorkshire accent...aye lad he said ‘I’m Polish from Leeds and my wife’s East German’.
If your in the Berlin area there’s also Sachsenhausen, by Oranienburg and Neungamme in Hamburg
We were there a few years ago in our motorhome, we parked overnight in the large car park next to Birkenau, we found it very emotional but very interesting and are very glad we done it and well woth the visit.
Hi. Thanks for the info. We are now at the Auschwitz 1 in the Hotel Imperial car park.
Not been able n the motorhome but we were there early this year then they shut down due to Covid so check they are open to visitors. And book a tour direct with auswitz. Dependant on your time constraints carry on south to the Tatra mountain range, superb.
