I thought it was Auschwitz but I've also heard it could have been Treblinka or something else.
 
the largest concentration camp, actually a death camp, was Auschwitz-Birkenau, commonly known as Auschwitz 2 with a total of about 1 million deaths.
 
Auschwitz-Birkenau, both a labour and extermination camp and the largest of all those constructed by the Nazis, has the highest death toll running between 1.1 to 1.5 million over 4 and a half years.

However, Treblinka disposed of 870,000 victims in far less time, taking just 16 months.

Belzec, another extermination camp, murdered 434,508 in just over a year, and of all the inmates that went through it's gates only two survived.
