	Concentration camp (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The term often implies camps designed for the extermination of the interned (extermination camps) or their engagement in forced labor (labor camps).
		Though they were not extermination camps, the Boer camps were noted for their poor nutrition and bad hygiene, and the associated high mortality rates (28,000 women and children died).
		Still another one was camp Westerbork, which served as a transit camp (Durchgangslager) of Jews (Dutch and refugees) and Gypsies to extermination camps of Auschwitz and Sobibor.

	Extermination camp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Extermination camps should be distinguished from concentration camps (such as Dachau and Belsen), which were mostly located in Germany and intended as places of incarceration and forced labor for a variety of "enemies of the state" or Nazi regime (such as Communists and homosexuals).
		In all Nazi camps there were very high death rates as a result of starvation, disease and exhaustion, but only the extermination camps were designed specifically for mass killing.
		The method of killing at these camps was by poison gas, usually in "gas chambers", although many prisoners were killed in mass shootings and by other means.

	Extermination Camps
		Unlike concentration camps, which served primarily as detention and labor centers, extermination camps were almost exclusively "death factories." Over three million Jews were murdered in extermination camps, by gassing and by shooting.
		The first extermination camp was Chelmno, which opened in the Warthegau (part of Poland annexed to Germany) in December 1941.
		The largest extermination camp was Auschwitz-Birkenau, which by spring 1943 had four gas chambers (using Zyklon B gas) in operation.

	Holocaust Timeline: The Camps
		Camps were an essential part of the Nazis' systematic oppression and mass murder of Jews, political adversaries, and others considered socially and racially undesirable.
		The death camps proved to be a better, faster, less personal method for killing Jews, one that would spare the shooters, not the victims, emotional anguish.
		The total figure for the Jewish genocide, including shootings and the camps, was between 5.2 and 5.8 million, roughly half of Europe's Jewish population, the highest percentage of loss of any people in the war.

	Bambooweb: Concentration camp
		The term often implies camps designed for the genocide of the interned (extermination camps) or their engagement in forced labor (labor camps).

		In view of the preeminent part evidently by these two extermination camps in the massacre of Jews; equipped to kill 125,000 people per month, it would seem that the destruction of their physical installations might appreciably slow down the systematic slaughter at least temporarily.
		It will also be noted that the destruction of the extermination camps would presumably cause many deaths among their personnel--certainly among the most ruthless and despicable of the Nazis.
		The destruction of the camps would not change their fate, but it would serve as visible retribution on their murderers and it might save the lives of future victims.
