The crematorium building at Auschwitz, specifically in Auschwitz II-Birkenau, was a significant structure designed to handle mass cremations. It included several cremation ovens and facilities for managing the disposal of bodies, with dimensions that allowed for the horrific scale of operations that took place there. The building was part of a larger complex that facilitated the systematic extermination of countless victims during the Holocaust. The exact dimensions varied, but it was large enough to accommodate the gruesome processes carried out within.
It was known as a crematorium
Auschwitz. The first gas chamber used in September 1941 was just a prison cell which was made air-tight. After this they converted the mortuary into a gas chamber, for greater capacity and convenience (as it was in the same building as the crematorium). The next winter the first purpose built gas chambers were constructed.

Auschwitz had 3 big 'main' camps. They were called Auschwitz I, Auschwitz Birkenau and Auschwitz Monowitz. Monowitz was really a sub camp which was commonly used and when expanded did become as part of the main camps. Out of the lot, Auschwitz Birkenau was the biggest and most feared of as this part was about Extermination when the Final Solution was putted in place.

In "Night" by Elie Wiesel, the crematorium at Auschwitz was operated by prisoners who were tasked with disposing of the bodies of those who had been killed in the camp. These prisoners, known as the Sonderkommando, were forced to work in this gruesome role under threat of death themselves.
No. The exact location of the Auschwitz camps was not known to the outside world till about about May 1944.
They were perpendicular to the entrance of the camp, at the other side. Later a railway spur was bulit so that trains could deliver victims closer to Krematoria II and III.
