The sole purpose of the extermination camps was to kill Jews and gypsies, usually by gassing, except for a small number who were selected to help with the extermination process itself. At these camps nearly all new arrivals were gassed as soon as practical:
- Belzec
- Chelmno
- Sobibor
- Treblinka II
There are very few survivors from these camps (two each from Belzec and Chelmno, about 50 from Sobibor and about 40 from Trelinka II).
The Auschwitz group of camps was different. It had a gassing centre (part of Aischwitz II aka Birkenau) and was also a vast group of concentration camps (forced labour camps). Physically fit new arrivals were sent to the concentration camps, where most of them were worked to death on grossly inadequate rations.
Majdanek was the only other camp that combined both functions.
