In the Holocaust there were a number of permanent transit camps. Examples include Westerbork (Netherlands), Drancy (France), Breendonk (Belgium). These functioned as collection centres. When victims were arrested they were often first sent to a transit camp, where they were held until there were enough people for a transport (or shipment) to Auschwitz or some other extermination camp.
