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.
Auschwitz-Birkenau
Just before the Holocaust there were about 18 million Jews world wide, and about one third (33%) were killed in the Holocaust.
