In Germany under the Nazis, concentration camps were set up after 1933
to detain Jews, Communists, Gypsies, homosexuals, and others.
During the war, extermination camps were established for the sole purpose
of killing men, women, and children.
In the most notorious camps-Auschwitz, Treblinka, and Majdanek, Buchenwald
and Dachau - more than 6 million people, mostly Jews and Poles, were killed
in gas chambers.
Millions of others were also gathered during the war, and a large proportion
died of mistreatment, malnutrition, and disease.
