Relationship to guideline

A study of the Holocaust should recognize the complexity of the history, including the recognition that all concentration camps were not killing centers.  The Nazis built hundreds of camps throughout Europe that first served as prisons and then later as centers of forced labor.  Beginning in late 1941 and early 1942, six camps (Treblinka, Sobibor, Belzec, Chelmno, Auschwitz/Birkenau, and Majdanek) served as killing centers.
