LiptonCambell: How about asking a question outside of "what was it?"- Auschwitz was a concentration camp....any additional info could be answered by wiki

czarek888: Auschwitz concentration camp was a network of concentration and extermination camps built and operated by the Third Reich in Polish areas annexed by Nazi Germany during World War II.

sweetcheeks0961: It, and many like it, were used as a method of getting rid of undesired populations during WWII in German held lands. At least 6 million were killed, and the number is likely far higher when one takes into account all populations/groups that were targeted.
