Auschwitz was not "stationed" in Poland. Auschwitz is a German name for town of Oswiecim. When in 1939 Germans invaded Poland they changed all the Polish names to German names, Polish language was forbidden. Part of the camp was acctually an old army barracks, in 1940 the Germans built the concentration camp around it. In years 1940-42 the inmates were mainly Poles and Russian soldiers. Then in 1942 first Jewish transports came. A total of at least 1.1 million people were killed there, mostly Jews from all over Europe, then Poles, Gypsies, Russians. Auschwitz was located at the crossroads of rail system, easy way to transport people. Germans were practical. And since that most European Jews lived in Poland it was logical to place camp as such there. Instead in, let's say, Denmark where only 6-8 thousands Jews lived. Imagine problems caused by transporting 3 million Polish Jews to Denmark or other country, such as France. There were other camps, like and Majdanek were majority of prisoners were non-Jews.
It was, above all, the extermination camps rather than ordinary concentration camps that were built in Poland. The Nazis built very harsh concentration camps in Poland, mainly to 'deal with' Polish nationalists and intellectuals.
They built extermination camps in Poland because:
About half of the Jews in areas under German rule lived in Poland, and the country had a good rail network.
Their were more camps in Poland because Germany has already fill up its living dpsces and they need more living space for its population so once their conquerd poland, they built more living spaces for the germans and camps for the Jews.
