Other forms: death camps
The term death camp is another name for an extermination or concentration camp, such as the the ones that were built by Nazi Germany during World War II.
When you talk about a death camp, you're probably discussing or studying the Holocaust, the mass murder of six million Jews by the German government in the 1940's. Nazi Germany established death camps throughout Europe, in which they starved, overworked, and killed people. The so-called prisoners in these camps had not committed any crime, but they were people of all ages who were victims of genocide.
