Answer 1

Nazi concentration camps were primarily discovered by Allied soldiers during World War II. As Allied forces advanced into German-occupied territory, they encountered and liberated many of these camps, revealing the extent of the atrocities committed there. In addition, escaped prisoners and resistance movements helped to provide information about the locations and conditions of these camps. Although some camps were known locally, the full horror and scale of the camp system were largely unveiled through the efforts of the Allies.
