The Germans set-up many camps in occupied Poland perhaps 2,000. These included concentration and labour camps mostly for ethnic Poles. There were also ghettos and death camps most for ethnic Jews.
No. The question aludes to a popular misconception; in most death camps women and children were put into rooms which were made to look like showers, but were not. The actual showers were used, but children had no place in a death camp, only adults would work there. Auschwitz as ever is a slightly different story, people who arrived did go to the showers upon arrival and those going into the family camp may have women and children showering together, but there were very few of these.
