The Auschwitz Concentration Camp, officially Auschwitz-Birkenau, was the biggest Concentration Camp used by Nazi Germany during the Second World War.
The Final Solution was devised by Hitler, Heinrich Himmler and Joseph Goebbels, which was the plan to exterminate all Jews - they were essentially extremely successful, and Auschwitz was one of the most effective places to do so - it is estimated that as many as 1,1 million Jews (one sixth of all the Jews killed during the Holocaust) and an unknown number of Gypsys were killed here in the gas chamber. Auschwitz was also the location in which Nazi Doctor Joseph Mengele performed his notoriously horrific science projects.
The reason for the Holocaust (extermination of the Jews) and subsequent construction of the Auschwitz was the inherent belief in Nazi Germany that Jews were not humans but something of a lesser value - their very existence was considered a crime and an offense to the "Aryan Race", which Nazi Germany believed was the Master Race of Humanity. Anti-Semetism has excisted in Europe throughout history and was used as a means for popularity by Hitler.
