Technically all camps were within the concentration camp system, there were labour camps, transit camps and extermination camps.

They were much smaller than the average concentration camps (Auschwitz is an exception as it was both), as they only held enough inmates that were needed to opperate the gas chambers/vans and the cramatoria.
