DIRECTIONS: The Encyclopedia of Camps and Ghettos, 1933 to 1945 of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, cataloged approximately 42,500 Nazi ghettos and camps throughout Europe, spanning German-controlled areas from France to Russia and Germany, operating from 1933 to 1945. They estimate that 15 million to 20 million people died or were imprisoned in the sites.
This chart lists just ten of these concentration and death camps created by the Nazis during the Holocaust.
