Best Answer

Auschwitz 3 (Monowitz) was one of the first and the biggest sub-camps of KL Auschwitz. At the beginning it was to become a factory for the German company IG Farben located in Oswiecim, which had been producing synthetic rubber and liquid fuel. Authorities of the company decided to benefit from the nearness of the Auschwitz camp and they signed a contract with the SS which allowed them to use prisoners as a cheap labor.
