The purpose of these six camps was the systematic murder of human beings and the disposal of their bodies. Killing was done in a factory-like manner by poison gas in gas chambers or gas vans. The bodies were buried in mass graves or burned. The overwhelming majority of victims in these 6 camps were Jews. Sources: Encyclopedia of the Holocaust; USHMM, Historical Atlas of the Holocaust. .
