Auschwitz was a series of 3 camps. The first camp was known as Auschwitz 1. It was the main camp and the first to be made in 1940. It was continuously expanded by forced labor. It was mainly a concentration camp. But it also had a gas chamber and crematorium. Auschwitz 2 was known as Biirkenau, also. It's construction started in October 1941. It had the largest Prisoner Population. It was divided by electrical fences into 9 different sections. It is guarded by SS guards and dogs. There were sections for women, men, Roma's, and their families deported from the Therisienstodt Ghetto. It was mainly an extermination camp. Auschwitz 3 was the least known of all of them. It was also called Buna of Monwitz. It was established near by Monowia to provide forced laborers for the Buna Synthetic Rubber Works. The transportation to Auschwitz was by train. They rode on cattle cars for up to three days at a time, with no bathroom, sometimes cramming up to 75 men, women, and children in at a time. The little ones and the weak ones had to be careful when they opened the doors because of the rush of the people getting off, they would often be trampled.

After they got all the people in order and all the numbers assigned, they were assigned a bunker. This was were they would be able to sleep when time allowed. There was single bunk beds in there, about 40 of 25 each, when space got limited, they would sometimes make people share beds, even though they were singles. After they got all that arranged, all the prisoners were divided up into different classes. First they were divides by age, and gender. Then they were also divided up into there ability to work. If they are not able to work very well, then sometimes they would be worked to death in days, and sometimes they would be sent straight to the gas chambers. But they did not know they were going to the gas chamber, they were told it was a hot shower, and since they had not had a shower in such a long time, they had to follow. If they were able to work, then they were dressed and then sent directly to the working lines. If there was work to be done like expanding, then they were required to do it. If there was a repair, then they were required to fix it. But if there was no work to be done, then they had to dig ditches and then fill them back in. They were worked very hard no matter what, and rec
