Auschwitz-Birkenau: History & Overview. Auschwitz-Birkenau is the general term for the network of Nazi concentration and labor camps, established near the Polish city of Oswiecim. Together this complex was the largest of all the Nazi death camps across Europe and could hold upwards of 150,000 inmates at any given time.
Many people think they know the story of Auschwitz. It's the place where Jews were murdered. End of story. But for nearly the first year and a half of its operation, there were only a handful of Jews sent to Auschwitz. Its main purpose was to house Polish political prisoners and then Soviet prisoners of war. It had nothing to do with the mass extermination program. But you can only begin to understand why it evolves into an extermination camp once you understand how it goes through this phase of doing something completely different.
