Auschwitz, Dachau, Bergen Belsen, Treblinka,

The two camps where the highest numbers were killed were: * Auschwitz - At least 1.1 million victims were murdered there. * Treblinka II - About 870,000 murdered. Note that Treblinka II was an Operation Reinhard camp, and designed only for the purpose of killing victims. (Treblinka I was a hard labour camp).
When deportees arrived at the death camps (such as Auschwitz Birkenau), they were divided into two groups: those who could work and those would be killed. That was the selection process.
Japanese internment camps sprung up during World War Two. These camps relocated 110,000 Japanese Americans on the West Coast. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was a factor in the development of these camps.
