It's a concentration camp that Elie Wiesel and his father stayed at for 3 days
In the book "Night" by Elie Wiesel, Gleiwitz is a concentration camp located in Upper Silesia, Germany (now part of Poland). It is where Eliezer and his father are taken after being transferred from Auschwitz. Gleiwitz is portrayed as a place of extreme suffering and dehumanization for the Holocaust prisoners.
Elie Wiesel attended Birkenau, Auschwitz, Buna, Gleiwitz and Buchenwald in the book night. He spent most of his time in Buna since that was the labour camp he worked in, and Gleiwitz and Buchenwald were only for very short times rightbefore his liberation.
Gleiwitz
In the book "Night", Elie and his father are transferred to the Buna camp, a subcamp of Auschwitz, where they are forced to perform hard labor and endure harsh conditions.
When Elie awoke from his first night at Gleiwitz, he discovered that his father was missing. He later learned that his father had been taken to the crematorium and cremated.
The prisoners traveled from Buna to Gleiwitz by marching in a forced death march. They were made to walk long distances in harsh conditions with minimal food, water, and rest. Many prisoners did not survive the journey due to exhaustion, sickness, or being shot by guards.
Bergen-Belsen is probably the most notorious.

The motto of the camp in the book "Night" was "Arbeit macht frei," which translates to "work sets you free." This phrase was displayed at the entrance of Auschwitz and other Nazi concentration camps as a cruel and deceptive message to the prisoners.
