Auschwitz and Birkenau

Auschwitz was the largest Nazi camp concentration. There were three major camps in the Auschwitz system.

The camps were: Auschwitz I, Auschwitz-Birkenau and Auschwitz-Monowitz.  The above picture is of a memorial set-up in an Auschwitz gas chamber.  There were seven buildings used as gas chambers at the main camp.  In addition to Polish Jews, Soviet POWs were killed in the chambers.
