Who first found the death camps of World War 2?

The Allied army that first entered a death camp (extermination camp) was the Soviet Army, which liberated Majdanek in July, 1944. The existence of extermination camps had been known before that, however. Death Camps! Every Allied army liberated death camps. They existed in Germany, Poland and Czechoslovakia. Most of the German camps, Buchenwald, Dachau and others were liberated by the French and Americans, while Auschwitz and Theresianstadt were liberated by the Russians. Their existence were only known since 1943, two years before their liberation.

Who killed the most people in the world?

There are different types of murder. Hitler was responsible for the extermination of 6 million Jews from the late 1930's until 1945. Joe Stalin was responsible for the deaths and executions of 15 to 30 million people between 1930 and his own death in 1952. The colonoization of the Western hemisphere and the entire history of the United States evidences the deaths of more than an estimated 300 million people. The Roman Catholic Church is responsible for the deaths of an estimated 350 to 500 million Jews and Christians during an 800 year period commonly known as the Inquisition. Luis Garavito, of Colombia may have killed as many as 400 children in the 1990's.

What death camp had the fewest deaths during 1940-1945?

It is difficult to give a meaningful answer as the camps varied considerably in size and the toll at some extermination camps is not known. There were some small extermination camps that very few people have heard of in western Europe and the US - partly because they had no known survivors. An example is Maly Trotinets, near Minsk, Belarus. The death toll there is estimated at about 50,000. Another difficutly is that the extermination camps were in operation for differing periods of time. Please bear in mind that there is an important difference between extermination camps ('death camps' and ordinary concentration camps). Please see the related questions.
