The Holocaust had Concentration Camps or Forced labor camps to destroy the Jews. They would force them to go to these camps and give them little food and force them to work until they died, or they just killed them out right.

___

In the then Soviet Union the Nazis often simply shot Jews in open country, but in Western and Central Europe they weren't keen on this.

___

There were different kinds of camps for different purposes. The key distinction is between ordinary concentration camps, which were use for slave labour and extermination camps, which existed only to kill.
