Nazi concentration camps

Death camp system

Nazi concentration camps were detention facilities operated by Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945, initially for political prisoners and later for Jews, Roma, homosexuals, and others deemed undesirable.

The term encompasses both labor camps and extermination camps like Auschwitz, where millions were systematically murdered.
