The camp was run by the [[SS]]. It was the home to the brutal [[Germany|German]] doctor [[Dr. Josef Mengele]]. When the camp first began many Poles were sent there to either work to death, be an experimental subject for [[Dr. Josef Mengele]], or to just rot away. Later in the war the [[Nazi]]s started sending Russians and other people who opposed them in the slightest way.

The camp is infamous for its gas chambers, where the [[Nazi|Nazis]] used [[Zyklon B]] to exterminate over 75,000 people, and crematoria which were then used to dispose of the bodies. The gas chamber and the crematoria, which were formerly a Polish army bunker, are still standing today.

Towards the end of the war the [[Nazi]]s had to cover up all the murders committed there; they evacuated all the men who could walk and forced them into the last defenses of [[Germany]]. But it was not all hidden. 7,500 prisoners were liberated by the 322nd Infantry unit of the [[Red Army]] on January 27 1945, exposing the brutality of the [[Nazi]] regime. The mass murders committed at Auschwitz represented a scale of horror unprecedented in human history and not seen ever since.
