From 1933 to 1945, Nazi Germany operated more than a thousand concentration camps on its own territory and in parts of German-occupied Europe.
Concentration camps were extermination camps to exterminate all those of non-Aryan race.
Hitler made up the Aryan race but they were supposedly the most "pure of blood" than anyone else on the world. The ideal Aryan was pale and had blond hair and blue eyes.
The concentration camps had gas-chambers, people being shot(for no apparent reason), people digging there own grave(a mass grave in which thousands of people shared) and being shot into it, or you could be transported in a cattle car crammed with no space to spare to one of the other concentration camps.

∙ 14y agoThe extermination camps were quite small. They didn't keep most prisoners for long, either. Basically, they were killing factories. Newly arrived victims left the trains and were told that they were going to be resettled, but would have to be deloused first in a shower. They were ordered to strip for delousing and were then whisked into the gas chambers; the doors were shut firmly and then the gassing commenced. The victims were dead within minutes and their corpses were buried or cremated (burned to ash).
A few stong new arrivals were sometimes picked out to help with the extermination process, for example by digging mass graves, while others had to help the Nazis sort the victims' belonging.
The following camps operated in this way and were not used for any other purpose:
- Much of Auschwitz II (Birkenau)
- Belzec (not to be confused with Bergen-Belsen)
- Chelmno
- Sobibor
- Treblinka II
In addition, Majdanek was sometimes used as a 'back-up' killing centre when the others were operating at full capacity.

See the answer for the following question, "What were the names and locations of Nazi concentration camps and extermination or death camps?" here on answer.com. it does a good job of answering this question, and explaining, "concentration camp" doesn't always refer to the death camps you are probably thinking of.
