	Auschwitz concentration camp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Auschwitz I, the original concentration camp which served as the administrative centre for the whole complex, and was the site of the deaths of roughly 70,000 Poles, gay men and Soviet Prisoners of War
		He was hanged in 1947 in front of the entrance to the crematorium of Auschwitz I. About 700 prisoners attempted to escape from the Auschwitz camps during the years of their operation, with about 300 attempts successful.
