∙ 9y ago
1. Auschwitz was a combined extermination camp (part of Auschwitz II) and a vast complex of concentration camps with 45 sub-camps. The only other dual purpose camp of this kind was Majdanek, which was much smaller.
2. The Auschwitz group of camps was the biggest and had the highest death toll of all (about 1.15 million dead).
3. Because of its dual role, Auschwitz had more survivors than many other camps. Nearly all the survivors were from Auschwitz I, III and the subcamps.
Some people of the Sonderkommando - that is the group of prisoners forced to cremate the corpses after they had been gassed - also survived. (Belzec and Chelmno, for example, which were 'extermination-only' camps and served noother purpose at all, had only two known survivors each at the end of World War 2).
4. Auschwitz has acquired an iconic status - if that is the right term - over and above that of any other Nazi camp. Before the term the Holocaust came into widespread use in the late 1970s people sometimes referred simply to Auschwitz. It was a kind of short term for the Holocaust.
Now, how far (and in what sense) these things make Auschwitz unique is something you will have to decide.

∙ 13y agoAs far as I know Dachau was designed as a concentration camp (not primarily a camp for industrialized murder but a slave labor camp) opposed to Auschwitz as a death camp where the victims where systematically murdered right after selections on the ramp upon arrival.

Dachau was a big, ordinary concentration mainly for political prisoners, whereas Auschwitz was a combined very harsh concentration camp and an extermination camp.

∙ 11y agoThere are several differences between Auschwitz and Majdanek like:
- Auschwitz was located in Oswiecim, Poland whereas Majdanek was located near Lublin, Poland. They were 314 KM's or 215 Miles apart.
- Auschwitz was still in operation when Soviets Liberated it, it was run by the NKVD until early 1950's when they gave it back to Poland, where nothing like it happened with Majdanek after it was liberated.
- Auswitz was a complex system where it had 3 Main Camps and 49 Subcamps. Majdanek was a single camp and had 0 Subcamps.
- In Auschwitz, 1.35 Million were killed in there where in Majdanek, only 360,000 were killed, that is 27% of the total deaths compare to Auschwitz.
- 7,500 People SS Guards worked at Auschwitz where only 200 worked at Majdanek.
- There was a Major size difference between the Camps, The size of Majdanek was only 0.27 Sq KM whereas, The Camps at Auschwitz alone was 40 Sq KM, extra 20 Sq KM including the fields and Factories. Auschwitz was over 220 times as big compare to Majdanek.
- Majdanek operated between October 1941 - Late July 1944 and Auschwitz was in operation between Late May 1940 -Late January 1945.
There are dozens of differences when comes to Camp Management, Camp System, Sanitary in the Camps, methods of killings, History of the Camp, What actually happened in the camps during the Honeylocust. etc..
Please look at the 2 related Links and see the differences.

∙ 9y agoDachau was not so different. It was one of the concentration camps established for Germans, namely political opponents and those who might have been a problem for the early Nazi government. It was not established for the Jews.

∙ 12y agoWell Auschwitz is different to other concnetration camps because
-Auschwitz killed apporixmatly 1.2 million jews
-it had 3 main camps and 48 subcamps
-Auschwitz concentration camps was in a area rich rich soil which was good for agriculting
- it can hold upto 2 million people at once
-Before, Auschwitz was just a military ground for poland intill Nazi occupied poland in 1939
-Auschwitz had other 2 million people working as slaves
-Auschwitz made 120 million reichmarks or £57.6 million from the Labour workers, 96% of ALL money maded from the labour workers during the holocaust
So Auschwitz was a death factory but it made millions of money just from labour.
