With a few exceptions the camps were not specialized in the way that the question assumes. The main exceptions were: * The following death camps (the Operation Reinhard camps) were almost entirely for Jews: Treblinka, Sobibor, Belzec and the death camp section of Majdanek. Also Chelmno, though it was not a 'Reinhard' camp. * At Auschwitz (including Auschwitz-Birkenau) 90% of those killed in the camp in the camp were Jews. * Most of the concentration camps in Germany (1937 borders) - for example, Dachau and Buchenwald - were for 1. political prisoners, 2. habitual criminals and 3. homosexuals. * Most of the Roma (gypsies) and Jehovah's Witnesses were sent to Auschwitz. The various camps changed slightly over time. For example, Bergen-Belsen started as a camp for 'prominent persons' but later became a dumping ground for any category of prisoner. Mentally handicapped people were killed in hospitals (!) in Germany.
