Unfortunately, there were dozens upon dozens of death camps, or concentration camps as the Nazis preferred to call them. However, they were all centered in Germany and Poland. Poland was primarily where the camps were because that was basically 'Jew central'. It was also the first country in the war to be invaded and conquered.
The concentration camps were first reached in Poland in July 1944 by the Russians. So why didn't they tell the world then what they had found ?___After liberating Majdanek the Soviet Army did call press conferences and foreign journalists were invited and attended, including American journalists.

No, the Nazis did not call the SS men who worked in the Concentration Camps babies. They would never do that since they were the most severe, powerful and deadly men in the Nazi Forces. Most did not even know about the concentration camps except those high up in leadership, Himmler, the workers of the camps and the people who lived around the camps knew of them.
Germans call themselves "Deutsche" in their native language.

The Lakota that I know call them "Death Camps," American's call them "Reservations," the Nazi's called them "Internment Camps" or "Concentration Camps." They all mean the same thing in actual practice, though the description by official sources change.

Life in concentration camps was horrible. In the mornings you stood for around 5 hours for Appel, roll call, before going to work for the day. Along with that, they always lived in constant fear.
The functions of concentration camps expanded during the Nazi period. At first, they were horrific punishment camps to deter opponents. Later the SS (which ran the camps) set itself up in the business of making money by providing slave labour for German industry, and from 1941 about 5-8 camps were used as killing centres for genocide. Please see the related question(s).A criterion often used for deciding whether a camp was a concentration or extermination camp on the one hand, or some other kind of camp on the other, was: Who ran it? Concentration camps and extermination camps were run by the SS. Other camps were run by various agencies.Please see the related questions below.

Margot, Anne's sister got a call-up. A call-up is something in which leads to being sent to concentration camps.
There were no Polish concentration camps during World War Two. Poland was attacked by Germany in September 1939 and occupied till 1945. All concentration camps on the Polish territory were built and operated by the German government. The term "Polish concentration camps" is highly abusive to Poles as millions of Polish citizens, of whom most were of Jewish origin, were killed there. By the German Nazis. To make it clear. Above agreed 100%. Note also that Poland was 100 miles further East between the World Wars, the border got shifted to take in a lot of Germany in 1945 when Soviet Russia had a major say in carving up Europe. So some concentration camps that were in Nazi Germany are now geographically in Poland. Try to find an historical atlas to fully understand! Also agreed. The camps should be referred to as Nazi German camps. In practice, the use of the term Polish concentration camps is usually lazy, not malicious. Some people also refer in the context of the Holocaust to Jewish concentration camps (!).
The bigger camps all had a central kitchen (if one may call it such).
