Majdanek (in Lublin, Poland) was the first major camp to be liberated. On 22 July 1944, after a sudden advance, Soviet forces reached the camp. They found the gas chambers more or less intact. Some camps in Poland were dissolved by the Nazis as the Soviets approached. The liberation of most camps took place in the first few months of 1945. The camp at Breendonk, near Antwerp in Belgium was liberated by the Allies early in September 1944. they weren't all liberated at once they all had different dates, but Auschwitz got liberated on January 27, 1945 by the Soviet Army.
Auschwitz (or to be more precise, the Auschwitz complex of camps) lasted from May 1940 till January 1945. However, its function changed during that time. Initially, it was a very harsh concentration camp, but in 1942 it became an extermination camp, too. In addition there were about 45 further sub-camps.

Majdanek, liberated on 23 July 1944 by the Soviet Army.
The Allied army that first entered a death camp (extermination camp) was the Soviet Army, which liberated Majdanek in July, 1944. The existence of extermination camps had been known before that, however. Death Camps! Every Allied army liberated death camps. They existed in Germany, Poland and Czechoslovakia. Most of the German camps, Buchenwald, Dachau and others were liberated by the French and Americans, while Auschwitz and Theresianstadt were liberated by the Russians. Their existence were only known since 1943, two years before their liberation.
The murdering ended (in most cases) when the camps were liberated by the Allies. The actual dates varied from camp to camp, and in some cases as the Allies approached some of the prisoners were taken on death marches. In some parts of Poland, the local (Polish) population continued to murder Jews for some months after the war!
