Our tips for Auschwitz

  • Look but don’t touch. Picking up an item you find on the ground at the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum will earn you jail time. “Finders keepers” doesn’t apply here.
  • Stay Classy. Feel free to snap pictures during your visit. But, please don’t smile for a selfie. You should know better.
  • Leave the kids at home. The Museum specifically recommends you do not bring kids under 14-years-old. Disregard at your own risk.

Good to know
