Actually, I think Bukkie I (the Asker) is referring to the Third Reich as the "cruel camp."

The Nazi Party gained control of Germany in 1933. The end of World War II effectively ended the reign of the Third Reich, which was in 1945.

As several people noted, there were many concentration camps run by Nazi Germany -- most were in Germany or Poland.
The first was Dachau, which was opened near Munich in 1933. The last concentration camps liberated were at the end of World War II, in the spring of 1945.

Wikipedia has an excellent list of all the major camps, with key information. It should help you alot.

There were many camps, as the following extract from Wikepedia shows:

"Prior to and during World War II, Nazi Germany maintained concentration camps (Konzentrationslager, abbreviated KZ or KL) throughout the territories it controlled. In these camps, millions of prisoners were killed through mistreatment, disease, starvation, and overwork, or were executed as unfit for labor. The Nazis adopted the term euphemistically from the British concentration camps of the Second Anglo-Boer War in order to conceal the deadly nature of the camps. The first Nazi camps were set up inside Germany, and were set up to hold political opponents of the regime.

The two principal groups of prisoners in the camps, both numbering in the millions, were Jews and Soviet and Polish prisoners of war (POWs). Large numbers of Roma (or Gypsies), Communists, and homosexuals, as well as some Jehovah's Witnesses and others were also sent to the camps. In addition, a small number of Western Allied POWs were sent to concentration camps for various reasons. Western Allied POWs who were Jews, or whom the Nazis believed to be Jewish, were usually sent to ordinary POW camps; however, a small number were sent to concentration camps under anti-semitic policies.

Starting in 1942, Nazi Germany established extermination or death camps for the sole purpose of carrying out the industrialized murder of the Jews of Europe — the Final Solution. These camps were established in occupied Poland and Belarus, on the territory of the General Government. Over three million Jews would die in these extermination camps, primarily by poison gas, usually in gas chambers, although many prisoners were killed in mass shootings and by other means. These death camps, including Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka, and Auschwitz-Birkenau are commonly referred to as "concentration camps," but scholars of the Holocaust draw a distinction between concentration camps and death camps."

If this information is not enough then type "concentration Camps" and Nazi Concentration Camps" into a powerful search engine like Google, and follow up the leads, Naturally individual camps can be researched the same way.
Note that concentration camps were established as soon as the Nazis came to power - but the actual Death Camps were not established until after the war began
