They got sent to concentration camps, work camps, or death factories.
What was the difference between concetrantion camps and death camps?
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).

it depends where from and when. From some places everyone went to the death camps, from others volunteers were called for, and others those unable to work went.
What were the conditions in the ghettos and death camps?
Ghetto was a Jewish town so life was normal The conditions in a death camp: work or die (but some times they killed them straight away)
What did they do at the death camps and what was their purpose?
Some death camps existed to enslave the prisoners and literally work them to death in mines, quarries, factories, etc. Others, especially later in the war, existed solely to enact Hitler's "final solution" to the Jewish " problem", genocide of the Jews. Six million Jews died in the death camps along with thousands of Poles, homosexuals, mentally retarded etc. The program is today known as the Holocaust.
Who was kept at the death camps?
Jews, criminals, homosexuals, gypsies, little people, the mentally ill and many others were imprisoned and killed in concentration camps. Only a few able-bodied people were kept at death camps, so as to do all of the work required at a death camp. Everyone else taken to a death camp was killed.
When Jews first arrived in the death camps they were given showers then put to work true or false?
false on both counts. Though this is what happened in concentration camps.
What did concentration camp factories produce?
Some camps were specifically set up as munitions factories, and prisoners lucky enough to be sent to one of these got slightly better food and slightly better accommodations than prisoners in the death camps. Their labor was important to the Reich, hence some effort was made to keep them alive. The death camps produced nothing for the war effort but recyclables (shoe leather, human hair, etc.) Most of the "work details" in places like Auschwitz were designed to work the prisoners to death - nothing more.
