No.

  • Concentration camps were large camps where Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, Slavs, and political prisoners were held. Those that died did so of either natural causes or being shot.
  • Death camps were like concentration camps but they were the ones which had gas chambers.

Many concentration camps had small gas chambers to kill prisoners who had become 'useless'. For example, Stutthof had such a gas chamber and an estimated 1,100 prisoners were killed there.

Yes. The gas chambers in Nazi Germany and countries they occupied had zyklon-B gas in them and they were used for killing. Vans and trucks also had poison gas in them, and they would drive around with people being poisoned by gas in the sealed airtight back portion of the vehicle. Poison gas was considered more efficient at killing people in mass numbers than by machine guns.

No. Dachau was an 'ordinary' concentration camp (forced labour camp with extremely harsh conditions). It was not an extermination camp like Treblinka or Auschwitz II.

When did dachau gas chamber open?

Dachau Concentration Camp-was Germany's first concentration camp, started in 1933 because the prisons were overflowing with people the government didn't like. They didn't have enough money to just build more prisons the way we do in our War on Drugs, so the Nazis built work camps like Dachau. Dachau is distinctive because it was here that SS personnel (Eichmann, Hess) trained for work in newer camps such as Auschwitz.
