What were the Nazi extermination camps?
Nazi extermination camps (sometimes also called death camps) were facilities that the Nazis used to kill the Jews and Roma (gypsies). Unlike other concentration camps, the sole purpose of these camps was to kill.They were the Final Solution. After removing citizenship and property, extracting the last energy or value they could provide, the raw material no longer had any value to the Nazi state, was too costly to maintain and required disposition.The extermination camps were:Auschwitz II (part of the Birkenau section)BelzecChelmnoMajdanek (which was used as a back-up killing centre, when the others could not cope with the numbers)SobiborTreblinka IIThe above were all in Poland. Auschwitz I, III and the satellite camps were very harsh forced labour camps that had a very high death rate. Majdanek was also partly a very harsh forced labour camp, too.Factoid. There are only two (yes, two!) known survivors from Belzec. 434,508 Jews and an unknown number of Romani/Sinti were killed there.In addition, Maly Trostenets in Belarus is often counted as an extermination camp.___The term 'death camp' is misleading as the death toll at all the different kinds of Nazi camps was high. There were extermination camps: they existed solely for the purpose of killing and for nothing else. There were also exceptionally harsh concentration camps, where the prisoners were systematically worked to death on grossly insufficient food.There were two camps - the Auschwitz group and Majdanek - that served both functions, but that was unusual.The first extermination camp was at Chelmno. It began large-scale routine (as opposed to experimental) gassings on 8 December 1941, using sealed vans with the carbon monoxide exhaust diverted into the vans. The total death toll at Chelmno is estimated at about 152,000-153,000 and there are only two (!) known survivors.Concentration camps, originally established for political prrisoners, had been established already in March 1933. Dachau, near Munich, was the first concentration camp. It had a high death toll but it was not an extermination camp.The six exterminations camps of the Holocaust were all in Europe. They were:Auschwitz-Birkenau (part)ChelmnoBelzecSobiborMajdanek (part)TreblinkaThe above list has a quasi-canonical status. There were at least two smaller extermination camps in Belarus, and there is debate about the precise role of Majdanek.

What are the six concentration camps that were used?
The first Nazi concentration camps were greatly expanded in Germany after the Reichstag fire in 1933, and were intended to hold political prisoners and opponents of the regime. They grew rapidly through the 1930s as political opponents and many other groups of people were incarcerated without trial or judicial process. The term was borrowed from the British concentration camps of the Second Anglo-Boer War. Holocaust scholars draw a distinction between concentration camps (described in this article) and extermination camps (described in a separate article), which were camps established for the sole purpose of carrying out the extermination of the Jews of Europe-the Final Solution, Poles - the Lebensraum, Gypsies and other nations. Extermination camps included Belzec, Majdanek, Sobibor, Treblinka, and Auschwitz-Birkenau.

How were Holocaust prisoners taken into concentration camps?
Nazi Germany maintained concentration camps throughout the territories it controlled. The first Nazi concentration camps were greatly expanded in Germany after the Reichstag fire in 1933, and were intended to hold political prisoners and opponents of the regime. The Holocaust is the term generally used to describe the genocide of approximately six million European Jews during World War II, a programme of systematic state-sponsored extermination by Nazi Germany. Of the approximately 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust, more than half were systematically exterminated in the highly rationalized gas chamber/crematorium system of the Nazi Death Camps between 1942 and 1945. The names of Treblinka, Auschwitz-Birkenau, Dachau, Chelmno, Sobibor, Belzek and Majdanek are indelibly stamped on history. Following the Wannsee Conference in Berlin, January 20, 1942, the "Final Solution" was an official policy and a major obsession of the Nazi regime. It was at that point that camps were constructed for the express purpose of rational mass extermination, principally of Jews, but of other groups as well. overcrowded boxcars train shipped the Jews to the camps were most of them died. As Allied troops moved across Europe in a series of offensives against Nazi Germany, they began to encounter tens of thousands of concentration camp prisoners. Many of these prisoners had survived forced marches into the interior of Germany from camps in occupied Poland. These prisoners were suffering from starvation and disease.
What country were most of the German death camps located?
Most of the European Jews lived in Poland, Ukraine, Belarus and Hungary.
Where can you find information about Chelmno?
You seem to be asking a question about one of the six death camps built by the Nazis, named Chelmo in Poland. (Yes, there were many other camps, but there were six camps whose sole purpose was to murder Jews and other Nazi enemies, i.e they were not work camps etc..) Please see the link below.
Why were they called concentration camps?
The name in German is (Konzentrationslager) that means concentration camp, at first were intended to hold political prisoners and opponents of the Nazi empire but after the WW2 began Hitler use the first six concentration camps to hold and exterminate jews, homosexuals, gypsies but later he find out he could use those people for work so he created various types of concentration camps: Labour camps: concentration camps where interned inmates had to do hard physical labour under inhuman conditions and cruel treatment. Some of these camps were sub-camps of bigger camps, or "operational camps", established for a temporary need. Transit and collection camps: camps where inmates were collected and routed to main camps, or temporarily held. POW camps: concentration camps where prisoners of war were held after capture. These POW's endured torture and liquidation in a big scale. Hostage camps: camps where hostages were held and killed as reprisals. Extermination camps: These camps differed from the rest, since not all of them were also concentration-camps. Although none of the categories is independent, and each camp could be classified as a mixture of several of the above, and all camps had some of the elements of an extermination camp, still systematic extermination of new-arrivals occured in very specific camps. Of these, three were extermination camps, where all new-arrivals were simply killed -- The "Reinhardt Aktion" camps. Three others were concentration and extermination camps altogether. Others were at times classified as "minor extermination camps."
What were the different types of camps in World War 2?
== == The following are the types of camps that were used in the Holocaust: * "Concentration camps" is the generic term for the prison camps maintained by the Third Reich. * "Labor camps" were those that were maintained for the purpose of exploiting slave labor. * "Extermination camps" were six camps located in Poland where the mass murder of Jews and others took place. Many of the concentration camps were complexes of several camps and some had dual functions. At the Auschwitz complex, for example, most of the genocide took place in a subcamp called Birkenau. There was also a labor camp named Monowitz that was part of the complex where an artificial rubber plant was built. Likewise, Treblinka, another extermination camp, was part of a complex of three camps, two of which were used for slave labor.
