Answer 1

The Nazi extermination centers were located in Poland due to the ability to conceal the camps and to access a large Jewish population, making the systematic murder of millions more efficient and hidden from international and public scrutiny.

Step-by-step explanation:

The location of all six Nazi extermination centers in Poland during the Holocaust was largely due to the fact that they could be hidden away from major population centers, situated near rail lines for easy transportation of victims, and operate far from the scrutiny of the allies and the German public.

Poland also had the largest Jewish population in Europe, providing the Nazis with a large number of victims within a confined area.

The extermination camps, including the largest at Auschwitz, were distinct from concentration camps in that they were solely designed to systematically murder individuals, most of whom were Jews, using poisonous gas and other methods of execution, with many victims dying within hours of arrival.
