The construction of Birkenau, also known as Auschwitz II, began in October 1941. It was developed as an expansion of the original Auschwitz camp to accommodate the increasing number of prisoners and to implement the Nazis' plan for mass extermination. The camp became operational in 1942 and was a central site in the Holocaust.
The construction began April 1834.
It was the expansion camp (Birkenau) and it was the deathcamp.
Birkenau was the new camp. They would get there by foot. At the time that they would travel from one to the other, it would be during the construction phase, ie. when they were still building brick buildings and the railway line would not go all of the way into Birkenau, it would still be uninhabitted. Their first impression would be that it was boring, there would have been a large field with some buildings on it and a tree line in the distance.
Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum was created in 1947.
