They are German concentration camps aimed at being the "final solution" to the Jewish problem. The Nazis sent Jews,blacks,gypsies,homosexuals etc. to these camps where some people were gassed or sent to the crematorium. Some were also sent into forced labor.
Eliezer and his father lied to Dr. Mengele about Eliezer's age because Eliezer was afraid that being seen as too young would lead to him being selected for execution in the concentration camp. By lying about his age and saying he was older, he hoped to appear stronger and more capable of work, increasing his chances of survival.
Auschwitz is infamous for being the location of a group of concentration camps established by the Nazis, used for the forced labor and systematic murder of human beings in World War 2.
Auschwitz started with a simple complex which only had around 20 barracks but when the Nazis took over this part of Poland, they turned it to a concentration camp called Auschwitz I. However, with more jews and POWs being sent to different concentration camps, Auschwitz needed to expand and when the Nazis were planning to create the Final Solution. This was when frequent deaths occurred which turned into hell fire when the Final Solution was ordered.
At some specific camps, commonly called death camps, or extermination camps, yes. There were two sets of camps, one used carbon monoxide in gas vans, and the other used hydrogen cyanide (Zyclon-B) in gas chambers.
The Nazi concentration camps were graded I, II and III, with grade I being (in principle, anyway) the least harsh and grade III the harshest. Dachau was Grade I Buchenwald was Grade II Auschwitz I and III were Grade III The extermination camps like Auschwitz-Birkenau (Auschwitz II) and Sobibor were not included in the grading system.
