In scholarly literature the term death camp is generally avoided, and the term used is extermination camp.
An extermination camp is/was a killing centre for committing mass murder and serves no other purpose. (It is not a harsh forced labour camp).
The Nazi extermination camps were as follows:
- Belzec
- Chelmno
- Sobibor
- Treblinka
- Auschwitz II (key part) - Please note that the Auschwitz group of camps consisted of three major camps plus 45 subcamps.
- Majdanek (This was, it now seems, an extremely harsh concentration camp that was also used as a 'back-up' killing centre when the other were operating at full capacity. Traditionally, it has been listed as an extermination camp, but its function has been reassessed).
In addition, Maly Trostenets is widely regarded as an extermination camp.
In popular literature on the Holocaust, the expression death camp is sometimes used in the above sense, but sometimes also simply in the sense of any concentration camp with a very high Death Rate.
