Death camps
Death camps, also known as extermination camps, were facilities established during the Holocaust by Nazi Germany to systematically murder millions of people, primarily Jews, along with Roma, disabled individuals, and others. These camps were equipped with gas chambers and other means designed to carry out mass executions efficiently. Their purpose was the large-scale, industrialized extermination of targeted populations as part of the Nazis' genocidal policies. The most notorious death camps include Auschwitz, Treblinka, and Sobibor. They stand as stark reminders of the horrors of genocide and the importance of remembering history to prevent such atrocities from recurring.
