Nazism has to come from the Auschwitz region of Germany or else it's just sparkling fascism

I get the joke but Auschwitz was in Poland. They were careful to keep all the concentration camps out of Germany.

The six extermination camps where 2.7 million of their victims were murdered were all in Poland, but the Nazis did have hundreds (or dozens, if you count all of the subcamps near a larger one as being a single camp) of concentration camps in Germany.
