Auschwitz was liberated by the Soviet Army on 27 January 1945. Shortly before that, the SS had blown up the gas chambers and had sent most of the prisoners on death marches to other camps. The Soviet forces had no use for Auschwitz and it was abandoned, but in 1947 the Polish government decided to preserve part of it as a museum.

What is Auschwitz Birekenau?
Auschwitz II-Birkenau was a planned expansion of the original Auschwitz camp that turned it into a true forced labor and extermination camp. It added room for up to 200,000 inmates, to provide forced labor for the nearby IG Farben plant, four crematoria, and much more. Construction began in October 1941. The first two gas chambers at Birkenau were bunkers converted into gassing facilities by tearing out the inside and bricking up the windows. Crematoria II and III were designed as mortuaries / morgues with ground-level incinerators, but were converted to gas chambers by installing gas-tight doors, vents for the Zyklon B (a highly lethal pesticide), and ventilation equipment to remove the gas thereafter. Crematoria IV and V were expansions designed and built as gas chambers, so no conversion was necessary. By June 1943, all four crematoria were operational.

Why did historians have a hard time agreeing with the first death camp?
They had no problem. The first extermination camp was Chelmno, which began regular, routine mass gassings on 8 December 1941. The aim at Chelmno was to kill all new arrivals as soon as practical - usually within 24 hours. Some confusion may come up with the 'Action Reinhard camps', as Chelmno (nor Auschwitz) was not included in these. Also Auschwitz as a concentration camp was set up first, but the part of Auschwittz (Birkenau) that was a death camp was not on-line by then.
