He didn't do it personally but he did order it to be set up. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is no evidence to suggest the Hitler knew or cared about the existence of Auschwitz, he did not micro-manage the Holocaust, all he cared about was that his territories were being made 'Jew-free'.

Auschwitz was a concentration and extermination camp. It was the largest camp out of all of them. It was the first camp to have gas chambers. People that were in Auschwitz were told as they entered that if they worked hard, they would be set free (which was a lie). The banner going into Auschwitz said "Arbeit Macht Frei", which is German for ' work makes one free'.

It was not a set of religious people, but their religion was Roman Catholicism. The Poles built the original barracks, then they were employed by the Nazis (Protestant) to convert it into a concentration camp. Birkenau (Auschwitz II) was built by the Nazis, who mainly used Jewish slave labour. Monowitz (Auschwitz III) was a bit more complicated as it was built by private companies and employed a more varied workforce.
