As the city of Oświęcim, Poland, prepares to host dozens of survivors and dignitaries to commemorate 80 years after the liberation of Auschwitz on Jan. 27—annual International Holocaust Remembrance Day—its sole standing synagogue, the Auschwitz Jewish Center, will offer services, prayer and reflection, along with guided tours of its museum highlighting the history of the Jewish community there.

The Auschwitz Jewish Center will hold Shacharit morning prayer services at 9:30 a.m. in its historic building, once home to the Chevra Lomdei Mishnayot Synagogue. The service will be followed by the opportunity to explore the museum. Mincha, the afternoon service, will take place in the synagogue at 1 p.m., and Maariv, the evening prayer, will follow the official commemoration at Auschwitz II-Birkenau.

Before World War II and the Holocaust, Oświęcim was home to a vibrant Jewish community comprising more than 50% of the city’s population, with more than 30 synagogues. Today, the Auschwitz Jewish Center stands as the sole surviving shul from that time, serving as a museum and educational hub dedicated to combating hatred and bigotry.
