Auschwitz was a camp were Jews and others were sent to work and die.
They did jobs like digging trenches which sometimes was their own graves, making chemicals like Auschwitz III, making munitions and ammunition, quarrying and mining coal. Sometimes people were kept alive because they could sing well or play an instrument to entertain the soldiers there.
The main work that they did was building, and working in the factories like I.G. Farben.
They were forced to farm (dig especially), and many other hard labors.
