Te extremination camps were concenrrated in Poland. In regard to the public opinion in Germany even the Nazis did not dare to build camps this like in Germany. The final solution began when most adult males were at war and only women and some elder men were at home. As almost every man up to 50 years had to do military service in a foreign country ad the loses of soldiers were immense, people in Germany were focussed to their own problems. And what really happened in those extermination camps was top secret and the area in Poland was a vast landscape which was forbidden to anybody. And since the beginning of the war every German needed a special permission by the police if he wanted to make a trip. Even for a visit of the family you needed a permission by your local police.

most of the extermination camps were located in poland. Trebliuka, Majdanek, Sobibor, and Belzec were in poland(also known as General Gouvernement). Then in West Prussia & Wartheland(Poland) there was Chelmno, and Auschwitz. those were all the death camps, but there was also Labor Camps and Transit Camps where people died.

I would like to add that in most cases it did not make a big difference if you were in an extermination camp like Auschwitz or in another camp. Even in "normal" camps the rate of death was extremely high and each day people had to fear being killed by no reason. And there were frequent punishments they could catch at any occasion. And as the food was more than bad, many people died in case of illness. The programm was to kill as many people as possible. But at the extermination camps their was made a clear decision who had to die on the spot and who were allowed to live for a certain time as a working slave. The whole system was just murderous and nothing but terrible.
