Question

what where concentration camps?

Answer 1

Concentration camps were prison camps used by the Nazis during World War II to detain and exterminate millions of people, primarily Jews, but also including political dissidents, homosexuals, Romani people, and others deemed as "undesirable" by the Nazi regime. The conditions in these camps were harsh and overcrowded, with many inmates dying from starvation, disease, and systematic extermination through methods such as gas chambers. The most infamous of these camps was Auschwitz, where over a million people were killed. Concentration camps were a key part of the Holocaust, the systematic genocide of six million Jews during World War II.
