Auschwitz was a Jewish Prison Camp. It was the most infamous extermination camp because it was the largest camp set up by the Nazis for the purpose of mass killings. Although the Nazis told the Jews that they were going to labour camps at Aushwitz to work for them, between one to two million people died at the hands of the Nazis there. The first gassing experiments were carried out at Aushwitz. When the final solution was put into action, the Jews were put into gas chambers, died of starvation, weakness, or exposure to the cold, and randomly shot by the soldiers. When Allied liberators were finally able to rescue people in the Nazi camps, they found huge piles of unburied corpses.
