Death camp

From Encyc

The Nazi ran death camps where they killed millions of innocent men, women and children. The Nazis misleadingly referred to these as "concentration camps. But, while captives held in extrajudicial detention in concentration camps are routinely held in brutal conditions, the intent is that they should be kept alive. The Nazi camps included gas chambers, where hundreds of captives would be subjected to poison gas at the same time. The captives who weren't selected for execution were slowly worked to death under, while being fed starvation rations.
