Was Auschwitz just a consentration camp for Jews?
Auschwitz was a cluster of camps. Some were slave labor camps with slaves from many different backgrounds worked, and where many were worked to death. Auschwitz II Birkenau was a death camp, devoted almost entirely to the slaughter of Jews.
Depending on the source of the doubt and the correction that they seek to make to the number, the issue can lead to a person being Anti-Semitic or not.
There was a serious controversy over the number of people who died at Auschwitz. The figure of 4 million was that put out by the Soviet authorities shortly after the liberation of Auschwitz and was based on the assumption that all the gas chambers and crematoria worked to capacity practically round the clock, and needed almost no maintenance or repairs. Most mainline scholars, including those that work for the Holocaust Museum at Auschwitz have made more realistic estimates, putting the death tolls in Auschwitz at around 1.1-1.3 million deaths. It should be noted that this does not change HOW many Jews and others perished in the Holocaust, just WHERE Jews and others perished in the Holocaust. Some camps like Belzec, have had their numbers revised upwards and were much deadlier for the occupants with only seven survivors upon liberation. This serious inquiry into the number
There are others, primarily White Supremacists, Nazi sympathizers and avowed Anti-Semites, who hold that far fewer individuals died at Auschwitz (like 10,000 or 100,000) or that none died at all. These numbers are not motivated by an actual desire to know the true body counts at Auschwitz and are actually trying to question the history of the Holocaust. This is opposition to actual facts and, because the target of false history is the Jews, an Anti-Semitic position.

What enable you to survive Auschwitz?
Non-Jewish prisoners had a much better chance than Jewish prisoners. For example the British POWs were used as slave labour, but were treared much better with proper food rations and were not subject to random beatings.
Soviet POWs were not treated much better that Jewish prisoners and almost all of them were worked to death.
Political prisoners and criminals were generally given positions or responsibility, they were kapos, which meant that they would be able to take rations from others.
For the Jewish inmates, who were the majority, their choices were limited. If they could get an indoor job, especially one in the 'Kanada' section, or in the kitchens they stood a better chance of not dieing from exposure or illness, but were still subject to 'selection' or random beatings. In general it was down to luck if they survived.
