Nazi camps met the exclusive function of mass murder; we could call them "death factories". Between three and seven million Jews, Gypsies, etc. were killed in the death camps by using the squad and the gas chambers. Almost everyone who came to the camps was sent immediately to the gas chambers with the exception of a few selected to work in hard work. The largest death camp was
Auschwitz-Birkenau in Poland, which by the spring of 1943 operated four gas chambers. Until the end of the war, up to eight thousand Jews were gassed each day at Auschwitz-Birkenau. By November 1944, more than six million Jews and tens of thousands of Roma, Poles, and Soviet prisoners of war had been gassed there.
