What is another word for death camp?

Pronunciation: [dˈɛθ kˈamp] (IPA)

The term "death camp" refers to a place where mass killings are committed. However, the use of the term can be problematic as it only focuses on the end result instead of the systematic methods and ideologies that lead to genocides. Alternative terms to refer to such camps include "extermination camp," "concentration camp," "mass murder camp," and "genocide camp." The well-known Nazi death camps of World War II such as Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka, and Sobibor, were extermination camps where millions of Jewish, Romani, and other victims were systematically murdered. It is important to choose appropriate language to describe historical events and to raise awareness of the atrocities committed in these camps.
