Three major concentration camps during World War II were Auschwitz, Dachau, and Treblinka. Auschwitz, located in Poland, was the largest and most infamous, serving as both a concentration and extermination camp where over a million people were killed. Dachau, the first concentration camp established by the Nazis in Germany, served primarily as a model for other camps and a place for political prisoners. Treblinka was primarily an extermination camp, where hundreds of thousands of Jews were murdered as part of the Holocaust.

During World War II, it is estimated that around 1.5 million people worked in Nazi concentration camps, including both prisoners and camp staff. The workforce comprised a mix of forced laborers, prisoners of war, and political dissidents, among others. Additionally, the Nazi regime employed thousands of SS guards and administrative personnel to oversee the camps and manage the forced labor operations. Overall, the camps operated under a brutal system that exploited and dehumanized countless individuals.
