The Auschwitz Jewish Center in the centre of Oświęcim comprises the Chevra Lomdei Mishnayot Synagogue, built around 1913 and the only one of the town's 20 synagogues to survive, and a Jewish museum in the former Kornreich family house. Reopened in 2000, it tells the history of the Jewish community that made up close to 60 percent of the pre-war town.
Auschwitz I is the former main camp of Auschwitz, set up by Nazi Germany in 1940 in pre-war Polish army barracks; over 1.1 million people were murdered in the camp complex. The museum's exhibitions fill the brick blocks near the gate and Block 11. Entry is free with a timed reservation; guided visits with a museum educator are paid and required at peak hours.
Auschwitz II-Birkenau was built by the Germans from 1941 on the site of the village of Brzezinka, 3 km from the main camp; it held most of the killing installations, and the majority of the more than 1.1 million victims of Auschwitz were murdered here. Visitors see the gatehouse, the ramp, barracks, crematoria ruins and a monument. Entry is free with a timed reservation.
