Death camps had the facilities to commit mass murder, they also had limited barracks as they did not house many inmates (Auschwitz was the exception as it was both).
concentration camps were in effect hard labour camps. Inintallly they were meant as re-education camps.
Death camps only exised to process people into ash.
The main difference is that concentration camps were for confining prisoners and putting them to work, death camps were purpose built to murder people.

Concentration camps were a fact of Nazi rule in Germany during the 1930s. Mass extermination in the death camps was post the invasion of Russia in summer 1941. I am making a difference between concentration camps as a prison for what were termed undesirables and those places where the Holocaust became a matter of Genocide. This does not mean that the older, original camps were in any way decent or proper, they were not. The difference was that, for the most part, the mass of murders were committed in the death camps in southern Poland between 1942 & 1944.
If you were in a Nazi death camp, (there is a difference between death/extermination camps and the labor camps) you would be tortured in any inhumane way possible.Medical experiencesHaving to work with lack of foodStarvationFear of selectionsRoll CallKnowing about the gas chambers
concentration camps are prisons in a sense where as extermination camps are like death row u will certainly die in a extermination camp.
All camps were technically concentration camps, generally the extermination camps were called 'death camps'.
Death camps were built to kill prisoners systematically
There is probably no difference. The holocast consisted of genocide. Hitler was going against the Jews so he sent all the Jews to concentration camps or death camps. There is probably no difference.

A Concentration camp was used to torture or force their prisoners to work. An extermination camp was where they were all systematically murdered in mass quantities, and in horrific ways. (An extermination camp was also known as a death camp.) I hope this helps you.

It is difficult to give a meaningful answer as the camps varied considerably in size and the toll at some extermination camps is not known. There were some small extermination camps that very few people have heard of in western Europe and the US - partly because they had no known survivors. An example is Maly Trotinets, near Minsk, Belarus. The death toll there is estimated at about 50,000. Another difficutly is that the extermination camps were in operation for differing periods of time. Please bear in mind that there is an important difference between extermination camps ('death camps' and ordinary concentration camps). Please see the related questions.
The term death camps (in the Holocaust) refers mainly to extermination camps. Sometimes the very harshest concentration camps (Grade 3, such as Mauthausen) are also called death camps.
The only difference between them is in number of syllables.
