The functions of concentration camps expanded during the Nazi period. At first, they were horrific punishment camps to deter opponents. Later the SS (which ran the camps) set itself up in the business of making money by providing slave labour for German industry, and from 1941 about 5-8 camps were used as killing centres for genocide. Please see the related question(s).
A criterion often used for deciding whether a camp was a concentration or extermination camp on the one hand, or some other kind of camp on the other, was: Who ran it? Concentration camps and extermination camps were run by the SS. Other camps were run by various agencies.
