"Arbeit macht Frei" German for work will make you free, which was obviously a cruel lie.

To concentration camps, or if they posed a big enough threat, to immediate death.
The majority of the concentration camps established by the Nazis were designed and constructed to operate as efficient factories for the mass production of death. Those taken there, predominantly Jews, were enslaved, degraded, humiliated, starved, mutilated, tortured, violated, and killed. Millions arrived. Few departed.
