* Dachau - Near Munich, Bavaria. * Auschwitz I - Near Oswiemcim, about 40 miles SW of Krakow, Poland (then under Nazi occupation). * Birkenau was Auschwitz II and about 1 mile from Auschwitz I (see above). * Buchenwald was near Weimar, Thuringia. Dachau, Auschwitz I and Buchenwald also had several sub-camps, some of which was far away from the main camp.
There are actually two prison camps- Auschwitz 1 and Auschwitz Birkenau. Auschwitz 1 was formally a soldier barracks, and so looks mildly 'normal' it has rows of houses, streets etc but with walls, barbed wire and towers. However, there is a gas chamber there which is rather horrific. Auschwitz Birkenau was the larger, purpose built camp- it is unbelievably massive. You enter through the main gates and their are literally sheds as far as the eye can see. Blown up gas chambers at the end from where the Germans attempted to hide the evidence.
Auschwitz I Stammlager, Auschwitz II Birkenau and Auschwitz III Monowitz
The famous sign reading Arbeit macht frei was above the main entrance to Auschwitz I, which was the camp established in May and June 1940, that is, the first of the concentration camp sections.
