A lot of things went on behind the closed doors of the concentration camps, and all the deaths counted for are unbeleiveable. Here I'll give you a list of many of the diffrent camps that where up and running with the beliefs of Adolf Hitler.
Amersfoort was on of the three (Vught and Westerbork were the other ones) concentraiton camps that were operated by the Nazi's in Holland. It was a police camp (Polizeiliches Durchgangslager Amersfoort). Not much information is recorded concerning living conditions in this camp. What is known is that thousands of Dutch and Belgian civilians received harsh and cruel treatment at the hands of the Nazis and hundreds were executed at this camp.
At the time of liberation only four hundred and fifteen survivors were counted. Hardly any of the survivors were Jews.
Most of the information provided has to do with the gases they used, and how they crimated the bodies after killing them. It seems that this concentration camp dealt mostly with exterminating its arrivals very quickly after they were brought over. It meant death if you were brought to Auschwitz. The had 5 diffrent gas chambers and went through multiple crimatorias while in buisness.

Unable to get all that much information on the Dachau Concentration Camp. Nothing stating the amounts of deaths at any approximation. What did show up was that they did multiple tests on Jews to see what would happen. They would restrain them at altitudes higher than 10.5 Km, some lower then that, those did not end in death, they put them as high as 12. Km high and watched them slowly suffocate. As well as immerging multiple Jews, in fighter uniforms from both summer and winter times, into water temperatures varying from 2.5 to 12 Centigrade. Many of these experiments also ended in death.
The camp of Drancy was a transit camp located not far from Paris. Like many other camps in France, it was created by the government of Philippe PÈtain and was under the control of the French police. The guards were known for their brutality and lack of any kind of care killed many of the prisoners.

Esterwegen was established in 1923. In 1933 it was changed to the use of the camp for their political opponents. Esterwegen isn’t even considered a concentration camp, yet looking at the living conditions, its been classified as such. It was called a “Strafgefangenenlager” meaning Punishment camp for prisoners”. Very little is known about Esterwegen, as the German local administration did all they could to deny the existence of the camp there.
Living conditions at Esterwegen were very poor, very much like that at a normal concentration camp; you were tortured, there were many executions, as well as being forced to work in the swamps until you died. There was not a crematory in the camp. Hundreds of victims are buried in a cemetery not far from the camp.
In 1941, several prisoners of war coming from Belgium, France, Holland and Tchecoslovaquia as well as non-German political prisoners were transferred to Esterwegen. On this date, it became a sub-camp of the concentration camp of Neuengame.
The Extermination camp located in Germany, was regarded as in the same class as Belzec and Sobibor. Like Belzec, Majdanek was originally a labor camp but was transformed into a death camp ... Unlike Belzec, it had some industrial activity. Non-Jewish prisoners were admitted. At first death was induced by carbon monoxide asphyxiation, but later hydrocyanic, or prussic, acid fumes were used following successful tests at Belzec. It is estimated that 1.5 million inmates were gassed at Majdanek. The camp was discovered on July 23, 1944.
Gusen is located in Austria. A very difficult camp to live in. Under high guard, while the guards felt no pity. You hear much more then of only the Jews being killed here. They brought in the idea of “Todebadeaktionen” Death Batch Action GuesenII even received the prize winning nickname of being “The Hell of hells” …
