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.
