  1. Auschwitz II (Birkenau)
  2. Belzec (not to be confused with Bergen-Belsen)
  3. Chelmno
  4. Sobibor
  5. Treblinka II
  6. Maly Trostinents (near Minsk, Belarus - no known survivors and not well known).
  7. Part of Majdanek was used as a 'back up facility' when the other killing centers were at full capacity.

Whe teachers ask for 'the six extermination or death camps', they are usually looking for 1-5 and 6.

Of course, in addition, there were several 'ordinary' concentration camps.
