Classifying a Site: Ghetto, Concentration Camp, Extermination Camp

The idea

Three words the exam will not let you confuse. A ghetto was a fenced district of an existing city, from late nineteen thirty-nine, holding Jews in space for a fraction of their number on starvation rations while they worked; Warsaw and Lodz; half a million died in them of hunger and disease. A concentration camp was a prison camp, from nineteen thirty-three inside Germany, first for political enemies, then Jews, Romani and others, worked under lethal violence; Dachau, Buchenwald; tens of thousands of such sites. An extermination camp was built to kill on arrival, from early nineteen forty-two, six of them in occupied Poland near rail lines; Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor, Chelmno, Majdanek, and the exception. Auschwitz was both a concentration camp, from nineteen forty, and an extermination camp, Birkenau from forty-one, which is why it alone tattooed and why it alone had survivors in numbers. Practice on six names and say which word, or which two.
