German concentration camps were mostly extermination or death camps designed to murder the inmates, primarily Jews. Some camps also sent out inmates to be used as slave labor. Slave labor was often outside the camp at a factory, railyard, rock quarry, underground mine, etc. Also all camps used the inmates to perform some sort of work at the camps themselves. All the German camps were operated in total violation of international law and well outside all standard norms of behavior.

One needs to distinguish between the extermination camps and the other concentration camps. (The Auschwitz group of camps and Majdanek were dual purpose camps that combined both functions).
Slave labour usually involved working for up to 11 hours a day, six days a week, on inadequate food, under the supervision of the SS, with savage punishments for even minor breaches of camp discipline.
The work that slave labourers had to do included: quarrying, agricultural labour and working in the chemicals and armaments industries.
