Auschwitz Konzentrationslager

Auschwitz was a complex of Nazi concentration and extermination camps operated during World War II in Poland. It became the largest site of the Holocaust, where over a million Jews, along with Roma, disabled individuals, political prisoners, and others, were systematically imprisoned, forced into labor, and murdered. The camp's design included detention centers, gas chambers, crematoria, and working areas. Auschwitz symbolized the brutal machinery of genocide, reflecting the Nazi regime's racist ideologies and its unprecedented scale of mass murder. Today, it serves as a memorial and a reminder of the atrocities committed during this dark chapter of history.
