The populations sent to these camps were mostly Jews, but there were also prisoners of war of all nationalities, communist political opponents, homosexuals, gypsies and other minorities. Most of the people who were sent to the camps did not come back. They died because of illnesses, worked too much, or directly murdered in gas chambers.
→ The main concentration camps were located in Poland. They were called:
- Treblinka: 1,200,000 dead.
- Auschwitz-Birkenau: 1,100,000 dead.
- Belzec: 500,000 dead.
- Sobibor: 250,000 dead.
- Chelmno: 153,000 dead.
- Majdanek: 78,000 dead.
The massive extermination of these populations took place during World War II between 1940 and 1944.
