The term death camp is rather vague but is generally used for:
- Extermination camps, like Treblinka II and Sobibor. These were relatively small camps that designed to kill new arrivals as soon as possible.
- The harshest concentration camps (Grade III), such as Mauthausen, that were intended to work the inmates to death.
Note that Auschwitz included both kinds of camps.
The term is often - confusingly - used of all Nazi concentration camps with a high death toll.
