Auschwitz, a complex of camps in Poland established by Nazi Germany, operated from 1940 to 1944 and was responsible for the deaths of around 1.5 million people, predominantly Jews. The Auschwitz I camp served as the administrative hub, while Auschwitz II (Birkenau) functioned as a dedicated extermination site, and Auschwitz III (Monowitz) provided forced labor to German industries. This systematic murder was part of the Nazis' 'Final Solution.' Today, Auschwitz stands as a memorial, commemorating those who suffered and died there due to horrific conditions and genocide.
Auschwitz was a complex of concentration, labour, and extermination camps in southern Poland operated by the SS of Nazi Germany from 1940 to 1944.
Auschwitz III provided workers for nearby German-owned factories, while Auschwitz II was created specifically to murder those the Nazis had identified as enemies.
