How did the Nazi try to destroy evidence?
The Nazis attempted to destroy evidence of their atrocities, particularly as World War II neared its end.

These efforts were part of a broader strategy to evade accountability for their actions.

Why call Gross Rosen a Polish concentration camp when all concentration camps were German and Gross Rosen itself was located in what was then Germany?
There were no Polish concentration camps during World War Two. Poland was attacked by Germany in September 1939 and occupied till 1945. All concentration camps on the Polish territory were built and operated by the German government. The term "Polish concentration camps" is highly abusive to Poles as millions of Polish citizens, of whom most were of Jewish origin, were killed there. By the German Nazis. To make it clear. Above agreed 100%. Note also that Poland was 100 miles further East between the World Wars, the border got shifted to take in a lot of Germany in 1945 when Soviet Russia had a major say in carving up Europe. So some concentration camps that were in Nazi Germany are now geographically in Poland. Try to find an historical atlas to fully understand! Also agreed. The camps should be referred to as Nazi German camps. In practice, the use of the term Polish concentration camps is usually lazy, not malicious. Some people also refer in the context of the Holocaust to Jewish concentration camps (!).
What happens to the concentration camps when the war ended?
As the allies began advancing on concentration/death camp locations, the Nazis would frantically try to destroy them with whatever explosive supplies they had on hand. That would account for the camp itself, but what of the prisoners? They were sent on 'Death marches' or simply shot into a mass grave. More times than not, however, the allies would arrive before the Nazis could destroy the camps. The allies would then free the prisoners and make sure they received food and health care. A handful of camps that still remain were made into museums, so that the public may never forget the evils man can perpetrate unto one another. An example of this is the infamous Auschwitz camp.
