Rudolf Vrba was sent to Auschwitz at the age of seventeen, and, against astonishing odds, he managed to escape the camp. He lived to provide direct testimony of the Holocaust that reached Allied governments.
How old do you have to be to go to Auschwitz? There is no age limit to visit; HOWEVER, museum staff do not recommend anyone under the age of 14. I strongly recommend to bring anyone that is old enough to respect this place.
