Auschwitz is the name of the greatly feared German prison camp that was located in the city of Oswiecim in Poland. This site is now known for the mass murder of about '''6 million''' European Jews! Thousands other than the European Jews were killed there. It was the home to the brutal German doctor [[Dr. Josef Mengele]]. When the camp first began many Poles were sent there to there deaths. Later in the war they started sending Russians there. Eventually they were sending people with other nationalities. After the war they had to cover up for all the murders commited there so they evacuated all the men who could walk into the depths of the [[SS]] and the men who had to stay behind were set free. | Auschwitz is the name of the greatly feared German prison camp that was located in the city of Oswiecim in Poland.
