What did exterination camps do?

Extermination camps were facilities established primarily by Nazi Germany during World War II to systematically kill large numbers of people, particularly Jews, as part of the Holocaust. These camps employed methods such as gas chambers, shootings, and forced labor to carry out mass executions. They were designed for the rapid and efficient extermination of those deemed undesirable by the Nazi regime. The camps contributed to the genocide of six million Jews and millions of others, including Roma, disabled individuals, and political dissidents.
