Nadine,Holocaust scholars draw a distinction between concentration camps and extermination camps. Dachau certain functioned as both. Other countries have run concentration camps that weren't for extermination, like the Brits in South Africa. But the Nazis tended to go for extermination. Perhaps Dachau at the very beginning, or Thieresenstadt (sp?) that was used to show off how benign the camps were to a (rather willingly fooled) Red Cross, weren't for extermination. Some of the camps in the Auschwitz complex were 'work' camps for slave labor rather than death camps; but their death rates certainly qualified them for extermination camps under most definitions.
