Death and Extermination Camps were Self Purposed Camps which were mainly intended to kill a lot of people, Camps like Treblinka, Sobibor and Belzec were Camps which had a sole purpose of kill as much people as possible but also the most efficient. These camps had a average Death Rate f at least 15,000 People a month.
Auschwitz was the exception; it operated as both a death camp and a concentration camp. Also with its sub-camps was the largest supplier of labour in the camp system.
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'.

Concentration camps, Extermination camps and Death camps
They were gassed to death.
The extermination camps were all in Poland after Germany invaded them. The main extermination camp was the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp near Krakow, Poland.
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.
Pretty simple. Extermination camps is really another term for death camps. It is where people meet their death by being asphyxiated with gas.

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.
The extermination camps were run by the SS.
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.
