The correct answer is A) to kill as many Jews as possible in gas chambers.

The purpose of an extermination camp was to kill as many Jews as possible in gas chambers.

During World War II, the Nazi Party under the orders of Adolph Hitler started to persecute Jews in Germany, Poland, and other parts of Europe. Hitler believed that Germans had a superior race and that the Jewish were an inferior race. Those were called the Holocaust years, in which Germans persecuted and captured Jews to sent them into concentration camps. There, the Germans built gas chambers were Jews were killed.
