Well it got one thing right, but missed important context. Aushwitz was primarily a labor camp and crematoria like they had there couldn’t handle it. Aushwitz had the extermination just like a side hustle, so they didn’t need it too big.
Now the likes of Birkenau, not far from Aushwitz - that was a death camp. And with much more massive crematoria to handle the death toll. And that crematoria was destroyed by Nazis when it was clear the Allies will reach them because it was clear evidence of genocide.
Aushwitz is an important site and while chilling and terrible, it doesn’t compare to what was happening elsewhere.
