Nazi Concentration Camps During the Holocaust
 

This list is far from complete. It is estimated that the Nazis established 15,000 camps in the occupied countries. This list contains the names of dozens of concentration camps, extermination camps, and labor camp -- as well as hundreds of subcamps -- categorized by country. Please refer to the legend below in order to identify the different types of camps.
The following list was created from information from the Jewish Virtual Library (www.us-israel.org/jsource/Holocaust/cclists.html), which cites two books – Le livre des Camps by Ludo Van Eck and Atlas Of The Holocaust by Martin Gilbert – and from History of the Holocaust: A Handbook and Dictionary by A & H Edelheit, 1994.

Legend:
* A star next to a camp name indicates an extermination/death camp.
** Two stars next to a camp name indicate a transit/holding camp.
- Camps without any identification are categorized as concentration camps or labor camps.
- Subcamps and external kommandos (work units) are listed beneath the camp names, when appropriate.
- Only camps with known subcamps are identified as having such.
