All major camps during The Holocaust.

Extermination camps are marked with pink, while major concentration camps of other types are marked with blue.

Notes on the terms:
Extermination camps were one type of facility that Nazi Germany built during World War II for the systematic killing of millions of people in what has become known as the Holocaust. During World War II extermination camps were built during a later phase of the program of annihilation. Victims' bodies were usually cremated or buried in mass graves.


The term concentration camp was first used to describe camps operated by the United Kingdom in South Africa, but the term lost some of its original meaning after the Nazi concentration camps were discovered, and has ever since been understood to refer to a place of mistreatment, starvation, forced labour, and murder.
