Auschwitz was a network of Nazi concentration and extermination camps in German-occupied Poland during World War II. It was the largest of the Nazi concentration camps, and it is infamous for its role in the Holocaust.
Here's a summary of what happened at Auschwitz:
* Mass Murder: The primary function of Auschwitz was the systematic extermination of Jews. Millions of Jews were transported to Auschwitz by train, where they were either immediately gassed or selected for forced labor.
* Other Victims: In addition to Jews, other groups targeted for extermination at Auschwitz included Roma (Gypsies), Soviet prisoners of war, political prisoners, and people with disabilities.
* Forced Labor: Many prisoners were forced to work in slave labor camps within the Auschwitz complex, where they were subjected to brutal conditions and often died from exhaustion, starvation, or disease.
* Medical Experiments: Nazi doctors conducted horrific medical experiments on prisoners, including forced sterilization, poisoning, and other cruel and inhumane procedures.
Auschwitz serves as a chilling reminder of the horrors of the Holocaust and the importance of remembering and learning from the past to prevent such atrocities from ever happening again.
