Question

What is the difference between extermination camps and concentration camps?

Answer 1

• Concentration camps-

Generally speaking, a concentration camp is a place where people are concentrated and imprisoned without trial. Inmates are usually exploited for their labour and kept under harsh conditions, though this is not always the case.

In Nazi Germany after 1933, and across Nazi controlled Europe between 1938 and 1945, concentration camps became a major way in which the Nazis imposed their control.

• Extermination camps-

Extermination camps were used by the Nazis from 1941 to 1945 to murder Jews and, on a smaller scale, Roma.These camps were specifically built near railway lines to make transportation easier. Instead of vans, stationary gas chambers, labelled as showers, were built to murder people with carbon monoxide poisoning created using diesel engines.
