Some of the concentration camps were converted into extermination camps with gas chambers in 1942. This was a massive change both in the manner of executions and their expediency.

Four of the extermination camps - Chelmno, Belzec, Sobibor and Treblinka II were newly established. Auschwitz was greatly expanded. At ordinary concentration camps there was little change.
Actually in 1942 many of the Jews were already being brought to concentration camps
Concentration camps were a fact of Nazi rule in Germany during the 1930s. Mass extermination in the death camps was post the invasion of Russia in summer 1941. I am making a difference between concentration camps as a prison for what were termed undesirables and those places where the Holocaust became a matter of Genocide. This does not mean that the older, original camps were in any way decent or proper, they were not. The difference was that, for the most part, the mass of murders were committed in the death camps in southern Poland between 1942 & 1944.
Auschwitz was in operation: 1. As a very harsh concentration camps from May 1940 till January 1945. 2. As an extermination camp from about April 1942 till January 1945.
The answer is probably close to about fifteen million, with over six million European Jews, three million Soviet prisoners, three million Polish Catholics, hundreds of thousands of Serbians, a couple of hundred thousand Roma/Senti, tens of thousands of German political prisoners, nearly as many German handicapped or mentally ill, about twelve thousand homosexuals, and a couple of thousand Jehovah's Witnesses actually being included in the death tolls.

As early as the first months of 1942, word was already filtering back that the "work camps" were death houses. Only about 10% of all people incarcerated in the concentration camps lived through the experience. Being Jewish, the Franks, like all Jews at that time, dedicated their lives to trying to stay out of the camps.

Depend on what you mean Labour workings Gas chambers Labour workings was used from 1933-45 Shootings was used in from 1941-1942 Gas chambers was used in from 1942-1945
Dachau was the first concentration camp, opened in 1933. This was for the enemies of Hitler. However, in 1942, the Nazis began concentration as a substitute for killing the Jewish people with firing squads.
Far too many to list in this forum. Nine major camps existed in Poland and there were nine in Germany. Seventeen camps were established in North Africa and most occupied countries also had camps. Camps can be divided into three types by purpose, Transit, Labor and Extermination. The best information source on the web is probably the Jewish Virtual Library. Between 1942 and early 1945 there were about 160 Nazi concentration camps.
