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 experiment for [[Dr. Josef Mengele]], or just rot away. Later in the war the [[Nazi]]'s started sending Russians and other people that just apposed them in the slightest way.

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 and crematorium, where the [[Nazi|Nazi's]] used [[Zyklon B]] to exterminate and burn over 75,000 people. The gas chamber and the crematorium, which were formerly a Polish army bunker, are still standing today.

Towards the end of the war the [[Nazi]]'s had to cover up for all the murders commited there, so they evacuated all the men who could walk and forced them into the last defences 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. The brutality of the [[Nazi]]'s was now unleashed into the news and magazines and was hated even more. Such measures of mass killing was never reached before and hopefully never again.
