The facilities that were used to hold and to kill the Jewish and other victims were called extermination camps or death camps. They often used gas chambers to murder the victims. There were six extermination camps built by the Nazis. Auschwitz was the largest of these. Approximately 1.1 million were murdered there.
There were also approximately ten to eleven million more prisoners of war and civilians murdered by the Nazi Party, including Romani, Soviets, Polish, homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Gypsies, and people with disabilities, to name only a few.
The Final Solution is the name the Nazis used when referring to their plan to murder all the Jewish people.
