Most Jews from Western Europe, Poland and Hungary were sent to extermination camps and gassed as soon as practical after arrival. Most Jews in the Ukraine, Lithuania and Latvia were shot in mass open-air shootings ...

The proportion of Jews 'selected' for work was much smaller, and this happened mainly at Auschwitz. (From late 1944 on, many inmates at Auschwitz were moved to Buchenwald and Belsen).

Some Jews had been sent to camps early as political subversives, rather than as Jews, and these tended to be at Dachau and Buchenwald.

For the names of the extermination camps, please see the related question.
