Why was Auschwitzs so infamous?

Auschwitz was infamous in all respects but one. The Sonderkommando Revolt in October of 1944 when the crematoria was destroyed by the prisoners. This was an act of resistance and defiance in the face of certain death that can be considered as a unique event in human history.____The Sonderkommandos at Treblinka and Sobibor also revolted - in 1943 - and about 70 prisoners from Sobibor and 50 from Treblinka were still alive at the end of World War 2._____Because it was a notoriously diabolical concentration camp during ww2. They committed mass murder, genocide upon thousands of Jewish people.It was the biggest Nazi complex of camps (including 45 sub-camps).The Birkenau section (Auschwitz II) included the biggest the Nazi extermination camp, with the highest death toll of all.A number of prisoners, especially from Auschwitz III, the Auschwitz Women's Camp and some sub-camps, survived and wrote about their experiences. The best known of these are probably Elie Wiesel and Primo Levi.


What problems did Germany experience after World War 2?

Answer : One of the problems Germany faced after WWI was over, was that they had to accept the terms of the treaty of versallies. The terms were: give a lot of thier territory to places like France and Poland, They had to pay France 6.6M in repirations, they had to reduce their army to 100,000 men (not alot) and they weren't invited to the league of nations (basically the UN). However, because the repirations were so high Germany could'nt pay France, so France invaded the Ruhr (west of Germany) and forced all of the workers there to work. But, the workers did not agree with this so they did a thing called passive resistance (refuse to work). Because of thier loyalty the German government kept on printing off alot of money and sent it to the workers in Ruhr. This caused hyperinflation (too much money). Due to hyperinflation a loaf of bread would cost 5000 reichmarks. Germans would have to carry their money for bread in a wheel barrow. It got so bad that people even started to eat wallpaper paste and replaced their wall paper with money!Inflation of the "mark" (their dollar). Un-employment.
