It had a dual function: it was a concentration and extermination camp. The first means that the inmates were forced to work (often to death), the latter means that parts of it were built to kill the Jews (gas chambers, crematoria). It was also the place where medical experiments were carried out on humans with the leadership of J. Mengele.
