The most infamous of all, at least internationally, was the Auschwitz group, which was both a very harsh concentration camp, with several sub-camps and an extermination camp (Auschwitz-Birkenau).

I think it was Auschwitz Birkenau, from the story Night, by Elie Wiesel.

____

Not just because of the book Night. It was also the biggest and killed more than any other camp. Already in the late 1940s, before the word Holocaust was widely used, Auschwitzwas sometimes used in this sense. The fact that the Auschwitz group of camps combined the functions of a concentration camp and an extermination camps meant that it had more survivors than, for example, Treblinka, which had the second highest death toll.

Though a sad subject the Holocaust had an abundance of concentration camps. The more infamous ones are Auschwitz, Chelmno, and Belzec. An extreme amount of people were exterminated at these camps. Hopefully the world has learned from this hard lesson.
