Why was Auschwitz not destroyed by the Nazis to hide evidence, but camps like Treblinka and Westerbork were?
In: 151
Auschwitz was a work camp. Treblinka was an extermination camp, designed solely to kill large numbers of people efficiently. After some uprisings at extermination camps in 1943, they decided to shut them down and tried to hide all evidence they existed. Auschwitz was still operational at the end of the war, so they had no time to fully cover it up.
