Please help! I am doing a report on the holocaust for english class (yes, english because we just read anne frank). we have to make a visual representation for a project. i was thinking a timeline with major events that happened.

That's where my problem comes from. I'd like to list all the death/concentration/work camps, where they were, when they opened, and how many people died there. Any help?

the first was dachau, it opened in march 1933 and was originally designed to only hold active opposition to the nazi party (communists and the like). The next to be built were 6 in poland, which were actual death camps, there was Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka, Belzec , Sobibór, Lublin and Chelmno, chelmo opened first in 1941, all the others were opened in 1942. About 2.7 million jews were killed in the death camps, but another 1.5 million were killed before they were completed, and in total, they believe the final figure to be around 5.8 million, and then about 5 million others (gays, gypseys etc) by the end of 1943 they had closed down the camps, but rough figures are Treblinka 750,000, Belzec 550,000, Sobibór 200,000; Chelmno 150,000 and Lublin 50,000 Jews. Auschwitz continued into 1944 and killed an estimated million. When the allied boys started winning, they started taking apart the death camps, to cover there war crimes and sent the jews walking to central germany (remembering they are in poland) to camps there. Thousands more died on the walk

There were several thousand concentration camps- if you count the "field offices". OTOH sometimes, like Aushvitz-Birkenau, the "main camp" was tiny in comparison with the "branch". IMO a full list is an impossible task.
The first concentration camps were Dachau and Stutthof, formed in 1932- immediatelly after Hitler got into power. By 1933 (elections) most of the opposition was already locked in.

Do a google search for Concentration camp death tolls.

Go to google and you can type in how many people died in the holocaust or something like that.

Do you rely on this for all your homework? If you do, that's just pitiful.
