== == The following are the types of camps that were used in the Holocaust:
* "Concentration camps" is the generic term for the prison camps maintained by the Third Reich. * "Labor camps" were those that were maintained for the purpose of exploiting slave labor. * "Extermination camps" were six camps located in Poland where the mass murder of Jews and others took place. Many of the concentration camps were complexes of several camps and some had dual functions. At the Auschwitz complex, for example, most of the genocide took place in a subcamp called Birkenau. There was also a labor camp named Monowitz that was part of the complex where an artificial rubber plant was built. Likewise, Treblinka, another extermination camp, was part of a complex of three camps, two of which were used for slave labor.
Please see the link below for a list of all the subcamps of Auschwitz.
In Auschwitz, there were forty-five satellite camps on top of three main sub-camps.
Auschwitz I: the original.
Auschwitz II: also known as Birkenau, the major death camp of Auschwitz.
Auschwitz III: also known as Monowitz-Buna, Monowitz, or Buna, was an extremely harsh labour a camp, mainly for political prisoners.
- There were extermination camps like Auschwitz II, Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor, etc
- There were your 'collection camps' or transit camps, like Westerbork.
- There were 'ordinary' concetration camps: these were graded according to severity, with Grade I as the least unpleasant and Grade III the toughest. For example, Dachau was a Grade I camp, Buchenwald was Grade II, while the Mauthausen group and Auschwitz III were Grade III camps. (The extermination camps were completely off this scale).
In addition, there were some specialized camps.
1. Concentration camps (punishment and forced labour camps).
2. Extermination camps (for killing only).
3. Transit camps.
Some camps combined more than one function.
