How was the buchenwald concentration camp different from Treblinka and Auschwitz?
1. Auschwitz was a combined extermination camp (part of Auschwitz II) and a vast complex of concentration camps with 45 sub-camps. The only other dual purpose camp of this kind was Majdanek, which was much smaller.2. The Auschwitz group of camps was the biggest and had the highest death toll of all (about 1.15 million dead).3. Because of its dual role, Auschwitz had more survivors than many other camps. Nearly all the survivors were from Auschwitz I, III and the subcamps.Some people of the Sonderkommando - that is the group of prisoners forced to cremate the corpses after they had been gassed - also survived. (Belzec and Chelmno, for example, which were 'extermination-only' camps and served noother purpose at all, had only two known survivors each at the end of World War 2).4. Auschwitz has acquired an iconic status - if that is the right term - over and above that of any other Nazi camp. Before the term the Holocaust came into widespread use in the late 1970s people sometimes referred simply to Auschwitz. It was a kind of short term for the Holocaust.Now, how far (and in what sense) these things make Auschwitz unique is something you will have to decide.

In The Boy In the Striped Pajamas why do they use Out-With?
In the boy in the stripped pajamas, Bruno cannot pronounce the word Auschwitz (the largest German concentration camp) so calls it Out-With ____ It looks as if the author has confused pronunciation with spelling. For native speakers of English Auschwitz may be a shade hard to spell, but it isn't hard to pronounce. The book was written in 4 days and is poorly researched and not very well thought out. ________ ******* The author purposely uses Out-With. During an interview he said, "...I decided not to use the word 'Auschwitz' once within the book itself. By removing the word, even though we are clearly there, and all the signs are there, by not specifically basing it there, it broadened it."
