Only one concentration camp was converted into a death camp, or rather it was expanded and a death camp was added, this was Auschwitz. The death camps that were had served their purpose, they were created to murder those Jews in the ghettos, when this was done, they were dismantled. There was still a need for a killing centre and with good rail connections and access to coal, Auschwitz was a good location.

The expansion was done because there was an area available to expand into, there was a close supply of coke and it was close to one of the largest concentrations of Jews.
