Auschwitz hasn't actually been destroyed. It's still there and is a museum visted by thousands of people a year.
There are two parts to Auschwitz. There's the original camp (the one that has the famous Arbeit Macht Frei sign over the gate) and there's a newer one (Birkenau) which has the famous railway line leading into and under the main gate tower.
Birkenau was where the most killings were done and it's there that the main gas chanbers and crematoria were blown up by the Germans at the end of the war to destroy evidence. So to that extent you are right in asking why Auschwitz was destroyed, but be aware that only a small part of it was.

The main site at Auschwitz (that is Auschwitz I, II and III) was liberated on 27 January 1945.
