It was at Auschwitz, about four miles from Auschwitz II.
The camp (Buna aka Monowitz or Auschwitz III) was bombed by the USAAF because it was a chemicals plant.
Auschwitz had 3 big 'main' camps. They were called Auschwitz I, Auschwitz Birkenau and Auschwitz Monowitz. Monowitz was really a sub camp which was commonly used and when expanded did become as part of the main camps. Out of the lot, Auschwitz Birkenau was the biggest and most feared of as this part was about Extermination when the Final Solution was putted in place.
Hitler owned many concentration camps. However, his most famous complex would have been Auschwitz. It was the largest of the German concentration camps, consisting of Auschwitz I (the Stammlager or base camp); Auschwitz II-Birkenau (the Vernichtungslager or extermination camp); Auschwitz III-Monowitz, also known as Buna-Monowitz (a labor camp); and 45 satellite camps.
Buna. :) Hope this helps.
Elie Wiesel and his father were marched from Auschwitz III (Monowitz/Buna) to Buchenwald.

The Buna-Werke, which made synthetic rubber, was part of the I.-G. Farben Group. It established its very own (private entreprise) concentration camp close to Auschwitz. It was called Monowitz (or Auschwitz III) and used slave labour to produced various plastics.
From early 1942 Auschwitz operated as both. The only other camp that served as both a concentration camp and extermination camp was Majdanek.
Auschwitz 3 (Monowitz) was one of the first and the biggest sub-camps of KL Auschwitz. At the beginning it was to become a factory for the German company IG Farben located in Oswiecim, which had been producing synthetic rubber and liquid fuel. Authorities of the company decided to benefit from the nearness of the Auschwitz camp and they signed a contract with the SS which allowed them to use prisoners as a cheap labor.
No, there was 2 camps. Auschwitz was one and the other one was Auschwitz berkenau. There were three main camps, the third being Monowitz.
