The complex consisted of three main camps: Auschwitz I, the administrative center; Auschwitz II (Birkenau), an extermination camp and Auschwitz III (Monowitz), a work camp. There were up to seven gas chambers using Zyklon-B poison gas and three crematoria. The estimated number of deaths is 1.1 to 1.5 million killed in gas chambers.
