    The document discusses several major Nazi concentration camps during World War 2. Auschwitz was the largest and most complex, consisting of three main camps that used forced labor and one that functioned as a killing center. Bergen-Belsen was originally a prisoner of war camp established in 1940 but later contained different areas to imprison various groups. Chelmno was the first Nazi extermination camp opened in 1941 specifically for killing Jews. Life in the camps was unsanitary and prisoners faced rotten food, gas pollution, and being worked to death or killed through methods like gas chambers or burning. Famous diarist Anne Frank was sent to Bergen-Belsen where she ultimately died of typhus at a young age.
