The vast majority of killings in the Auschwitz group of camps were part of the attempt to exterminate Jews and gypsies. They were brought to the camp and most were gassed (or sometime shot) as soon as practical after arrival.

In Auschwitz the death penalty (generally by hanging) was also used for breaches of internal camp discipline.
