It started off with guards just shooting the prisoners. But when this proved not to be as effective, they changed to the gas chambers. Jews were loaded into a room and poisonous gas was leaked inside.

What is the term that refers to a camp in which people are Jewish?

During the Holocaust there were Concentration Camps, where Jews were gathered and forced to suffer, and Death Camps where they were systematically slaughtered.____Ordinary Nazi concentration camps were not specifically for Jews. It was the extermination camps - Auschwitz II (one section), Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor, Chelmno and to some extent Majdanek - that were specifically killing centres for Jews and Roma ('gypsies').The term death camp is confusing, as it includes the harshest concentration camps (those classified as Grade 3). To the general public, it suggests any Nazi camp with a high death toll.
