If you have more time to spend in Oświęcim, head to this historic synagogue (one of three surviving in the centre of Oświęcim) for more information on the town's Jewish heritage, including a permanent exhibition on Jewish life there before World War II. Located near Oświęcim's market square 3km from the Auschwitz museum, the centre offers specially tailored programmes for those who plan their visits in advance, and there's a cafe here with a sweet roof terrace in the warmer months.
