One would have to say they predated the war, and lasted until early 1945. The first one, Dachau, was built in 1938 if I remember correctly, for "political prisoners", but a great many people died there, too, though it was not strictly speaking a "death" camp. The last camps ran until liberated by the Allies in the spring of 1945.
