Added image. Gruesome, but that is the nature of the holocaust.
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.

[[File:Auschwitz Poland prison camp crematorium.jpg|thumbnail|A crematorium used to dispose of the victims' bodies. It is deep enough to insert two bodies end-to-end.]]
The camp is infamous for its gas chambers, where the [[Nazi]]s used [[Zyklon B]] as their primary method of execution 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.
