Auschwitz The picture to the left shows the entrance to the Auschwitz death camp
Auschwitz Background and Details Auschwitz was an infamous concentration camp that then was an active death camp. at least 1.25-1.5 million prisoners died there during the holocaust. On the entrance to Auschwitz there is a sign that means “work makes free”, it doesn’t really make sense because no matter how much the prisoners worked they were still murdered. Auschwitz had 3 major purposes: “1) to incarcerate real and perceived enemies of the Nazi regime and the German occupation authorities in Poland for an indefinite period of time; 2) to have available a supply of forced laborers for deployment in SS-owned, construction-related enterprises (and, later, armaments and other war-related production); and 3) to serve as a site to physically eliminate small, targeted groups of the population whose death was determined by the SS and police authorities to be essential to the security of Nazi Germany.” (from the Holocaust Encyclopedia website)
