ReneAuschwitz was the largest of Nazi Germany's concentration camps. Located in German-occupied southern Poland, it took its name from the nearby town of Oświęcim (Auschwitzin German), situated about 50 kilometers west of Kraków and 286 kilometers from Warsaw. Beginning in 1940, Nazi Germany built several concentration camps and an extermination camp in the area, which at the time was under German occupation. The Auschwitz camps were a major element in the execution of the Holocaust; about 1.1 million people were killed there, of whom almost 90% were Jews.
Auschwitz is a work camp established by the Austrian army which was later given to Poland during its establishment at the end of World War 1, seeing as it was abandoned the Nazis took control over it and used it as a work camp, Joseph Mengele also resided there and tested his abominable experiments in that camp.
Birkenau, also known as Auschwitz 2, is the death camp in which the most people were killed. If memory serves Birkenau had 5 crematoriums in which were also gas chambers.
