Answer 1

The six Nazi extermination camps were Auschwitz, Sobibor, Treblinka, Belzec, Chelmno, and Majdanek, and approximately 6 million Jews died in the Holocaust.

Step-by-step explanation:

The six extermination camps established by the Nazis were Auschwitz, Sobibor, Treblinka, Belzec, Chelmno, and Majdanek. Historians estimate that approximately 6 million Jewish people died in the Holocaust. These six death camps, located in occupied Poland, were distinct from concentration camps as they were created with the primary purpose of carrying out mass murder. The extermination process was shockingly swift, with the peak killing period lasting from early 1942 to late summer 1943, and during this time, half of the Jewish victims were murdered. Auschwitz, the largest of the death camps, executed the systemic murder of nearly 1 million Jews through gassing, shootings, and extreme deprivation.
