Auschwitz was the biggest Nazi extermination camp. It has been called the largest graveyard in human history and therefore has become a symbol for the Holocaust itself. It is estimated that 1.1 million to 1.6 million died there.
___
Moreover, Auschwitz was a combined extermination camp and group of concentration camps (unlike most other camps, which were either of the one type or the other, but not both). As a result, there were far more survivors from the Auschwitz group of camps than from extermination camps like Treblinka and Sobibor. Some of the survivors gave evidence in postwar trials and some wrote their memoirs.
