Auschwitz

they where trying to but fkkk gaurds

Auschwitz-Birkenau is the general term for the network of Nazi concentration and labor camps, established near the Polish city of Oswiecim. Together this complex was the largest of all the Nazi death camps across Europe and could hold upwards of 150,000 inmates at any given time.

The complex, which divided into three main areas, was established by the Nazi's in 1940 and was in use until its Allied liberation in 1945. Historians and analysts estimate the number of people murdered at Auschwitz somewhere between 2.1 million to 4 million, of whom the vast majority were Jews. The majority of prisoners held at Auschwitz were killed in the various gas chambers though many died from starvation, forced labor, disease, shooting squads, and heinous medical experiments.

Today, the word Auschwitz has become synonymous with terror, genocide, and The Holocaust. The site, though partially destroyed by the retreating Nazi's in 1945, has been established as a museum to help future generations understand the atrocities committed within its fences. By 2011, more than 30 million people had visited the camp.

Birkenau was Auschwitz II, which contained the main gas chambers and also the women's camp. Please see related question.

Most people think it's a good idea to make turn old concentration camps like Auschwitz to a museum because, it gives the current and future generations of what happened in these places and try to teach them to not let this happen again by being tolerant and treated equally. However, I think it's a joke because people are shifting of what was an Death Factory to a sort of place of entertainment and learning. Camps like Auschwitz was build to kill people and make money, not Entertain,learn and make money of them. Also when people turn concentration camps into museums this is like disrespecting the people who died and built them, also disrespecting people who used their life's to work and maintain these camps.

Auschwitz was liberated by the Soviet Army on 27 January 1945. Shortly before that, the SS had blown up the gas chambers and had sent most of the prisoners on death marches to other camps. The Soviet forces had no use for Auschwitz and it was abandoned, but in 1947 the Polish government decided to preserve part of it as a museum.

As they came through the camps gates from the boxcars people were separated according to gender, age, health, and skills. The people deemed unable to work like the sick, elderly, and children were sent to the gas chambers. Those who were deemed able to work were put into work crews and into forced labor.

During the holocaust, Gleiwitz concentration camp in Gliwice, Poland, was operational between March of 1944 and January of 1945. During this time the camp held around 1,300 prisoners. It is thought that many, if not all, of these prisoners died.
