CONCENTRATION AND EXTERMINATION CAMP

KL Auschwitz was a network (and the largest) of German Nazi concentration and extermination camps, built and operated in occupied Poland, during World War II.

Over 1.1 million men, women and children died at the camps. Around 90% were Jewish, of many nationalities. Most were murdered in the Gas Chambers at Birkenau (Auschwitz II), a major site of the Nazi ‘Final Solution to the Jewish Question’. Approximately 1 in 6 Jews killed in the Holocaust died at the camps. Others who died at the camps included Poles, Sinti and Romani (Gypsies), Soviet POWs, Jehovah’s Witnesses, tens of thousands of others of diverse nationalities and an unknown number of Homosexuals.
