Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The largest of the six huge extermination camps set up in Nazi Germany to eliminate Jews in Europe was Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Key Takeaway: Auschwitz was a group of concentration and extermination camps that were built in Poland by Nazi Germany during World War II. Taken as a whole, Auschwitz was the largest of the German concentration camps and included three main camps (Auschwitz I, Auschwitz II-Birkenau, and Auschwitz III-Monowitz) and 45 smaller camps.
Designed by Heinrich Himmler, Auschwitz II-Birkenau was meant to be the epicenter for Hitler's "final solution." From spring 1942 until the end of 1944, up to three million people died there. It is estimated that 2.5 million were exterminated in the gas chambers and another 500,000 died from starvation, disease, individual executions, exhaustion, and medical experiments.
