Most of Auschwitz was ruled by the Nazi regime during World War II. It served as a concentration and extermination camp under the control of the SS (Schutzstaffel), a paramilitary organization loyal to Adolf Hitler. The camp was overseen by commandants who enforced brutal policies of forced labor, imprisonment, and mass murder, targeting primarily Jewish individuals, but also other groups deemed undesirable by the Nazis. The atrocities committed at Auschwitz have made it a symbol of the horrors of the Holocaust.
