What did Auschwitz look like before the Holocaust?
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.
Largest death camp during the Holocaust?
The Auschwitz group of camps (which inluded Birkenau) was the largest, and the main camps (Auschwitz I, II and III) were located near the Polish town of Oswiecim. The minimum serious modern scholarly estimate of the number of prisoners killed is about 1.1 million, of whom about 90% were Jews. (These figures were worked out by the Director of the Auschwitz Museum, Franczisek Piper and published in an article in 1989). The next camp in terms of the death-toll was Treblinka II, where an estimated 870,000 victims were slaughtered.

The residents of Auschwitz and other towns near concentration camps who knew about the camps but did nothing to stop them or tell the Jews?
It has become oh-so-trendy to regard people in that kind of position as guilty as guilty can be - on a par with the actual perpetrators. In practical terms, what were ordinary residents of the town supposed to do? Run around the Polish countryside shouting, 'There's a holocaust going on at Auschwitz'? Storm the camp? And, by the way, about 40% of the residents of Auschwitz were themselves Jews and living under very severe restrictions indeed ... There is a huge difference between bystanders who were actually in a position to 'do something' and those who were not.
