Technically all camps were within the concentration camp system, there were labour camps, transit camps and extermination camps. Concentration camps were generally intended for civillians, initially just for criminals, but gradually more types were included. Extermination camps were established about seven and a half years after the first concentration camps. They were much smaller than the average concentration camps (Auschwitz is an exception as it was both), as they only held enough inmates that were needed to opperate the gas chambers/vans and the cramatoria.
The first inmates of Nazi concentration camps were Communists, Social Democrats and various political dissidents. (The first inmates of the first concentration camp was women and children of the Boer nation in South Africa - 1898) (There were also Spanish concentration camps in Cuba in the mid 1895s).
