Why did historians have a hard time agreeing with the first death camp?

They had no problem. The first extermination camp was Chelmno, which began regular, routine mass gassings on 8 December 1941. The aim at Chelmno was to kill all new arrivals as soon as practical - usually within 24 hours. Some confusion may come up with the 'Action Reinhard camps', as Chelmno (nor Auschwitz) was not included in these. Also Auschwitz as a concentration camp was set up first, but the part of Auschwittz (Birkenau) that was a death camp was not on-line by then.
