Auschwitz, the infamous Nazi concentration and extermination camp, began operations in May 1940 and was liberated by Soviet forces on January 27, 1945. Initially established as a labor camp, it later expanded to include Auschwitz II-Birkenau, which became the largest extermination center during the Holocaust. The camp played a central role in the systematic murder of approximately 1.1 million people, primarily Jews, during World War II.
