When The Holocaust is discussed, the most common concentration camp that is remembered and discussed is typically Auschwitz. Why is Auschwitz the most well known concentration camp, what made it different than other camps?

/u/kieslowskifan and /u/estherke have previously answered Why is/was Aushwitz concidered the WORST concentration camp?

Kieslowskifan has also previously explained the difference between concentration camps and death camps.

Part of what makes Auschwitz special is that it was both a concentration camp and a death camp. Note that making a hierarchy of 'worst concentration camp' is absurd because all of the KL/KZ were bad. Similarly, /u/Georgy_K_Zhukov says conceptualizing the Holocaust in deaths per day is stupid.
