I know what you mean, but I've never seen a map like this and I am grateful for the perspective.
Just goes to show how vast the death camp network was. You normally associate them entirely with Germany and Eastern Europe, but they were all over the place.
Still hard to believe this all happened less than 100 years ago.

Looking at the world today, I don't find it that hard to believe. Antisemitism being more casual and popular than ever in my lifetime.
This is probably far from complete, at least in the vicinity where I live it completely discards the "Emslandlager", a series of 15 camps where an estimated 38.000 people were killed.
I agree this map is far from complete. Maybe my definition is different but I would include “internment” camps like Gurs. Speaking for just France, there seems to have been dozens of them if you include POW camps.
I had no idea that there was one in the south of France
I’m just going to assume most of the prisoners in Norway froze to death.
The Wehrmacht camps were largely prisoner of war (POW) camps scattered throughout the country [Norway]. Some of these had extremely high mortality rates, owing to inhumane conditions and brutality.
Not knowing the names of those specific campus made finding more info difficult. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_concentration_camps_in_Norway
