Answer

There were three different camp functions: transit, labor and death or the extermination camps. Some camps served in more than one function and many camps had numerous sub camps.

Labor camps could be located at factory sites or small plants and might have as few as 50 to 100 prisoners and for this reason they were represent the largest number that can be listed.

Second, some camps were in use for only brief periods of time like those in North Africa (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya had 17 different labor camps, there were six in Croatia and three in Estonia and two in France. Alderney in the Channel Islands had the dubious honor of being located in England).

Finally, some camps like Auschwitz were really four different camps of the same name. The other major camps include Belzec, Bergen Belsen, Buchenwald, Chelmno, Dachau, Dora, Flossenburg, Grossrosen, Janowska, Kaiserwald, Majdanek, Mauthausen, Neuengamme, Oranienburg, Plaszow, Ravensbruck, Sachenhausen, Sobibor, Stutthof, Terezin, Treblinka and lastly Westerbork.
