There were extermination camps. These were where the Jews were sent to be gassed in gas chambers. The young children, elderly, and most women were sent straight to the extermination camps. Young, fit men worked at the camps doing things like cremating the gassed Jews in massive furnaces etc. When the men were too old or had no energy left in them they were too sent to the extermination camps.

Why would most of the concentration camps used for labor be located in Germany?

They were ALL located in Germany during the Holocaust besides a few in the taken-over Poland. They were all there because Germany was killing the Jews and they can't put the concentration camps on other countries' land. Besides, they didn't want anyone to know about them killing the Jews. Basically, this is a common sense answer, but still I have studied WW2 for a long time.
