How many camps were built during world war 2?
There were thousands of camps all over Germany a long time before they started building the true death camps. If you tap in concentration camps into any web search engine, it will show you a map of the camps. They were not all death camps, but were camps for Germans who were not Nazi's, and were used for, what they called 're-training'. IF you were released, and still able to think or even walk, you made sure you followed the rules and joined the 'Nazi Party' and kept your thoughts, to yourself in future.
When the concentration camps introduced during World War 2?
Concentration camps were a fact of Nazi rule in Germany during the 1930s. Mass extermination in the death camps was post the invasion of Russia in summer 1941. I am making a difference between concentration camps as a prison for what were termed undesirables and those places where the Holocaust became a matter of Genocide. This does not mean that the older, original camps were in any way decent or proper, they were not. The difference was that, for the most part, the mass of murders were committed in the death camps in southern Poland between 1942 & 1944.
Where were they killed in the Holocaust?
Usually people were killed in concentration camps or death camps. In these camps, people were worked to death, put in gas chambers, or were shot. Often people caught diseases and died, or they starved to death because they were barely given any food.
Why did the Nazi death camps start?
The Nazi death camps was put into use after the occupation of Poland in 1939. After the Nazis had Jews, poles and other groups of people who were procecuted by the Nazis. Nazis wanted to kill all the Jews and any Non-Aryan Germans, so they decided to establish bunch of Death camps and Extermination camps.
Are there any reports of injury or death at boot camps?

Are there still concentartion camps?
Though the camps do not serve the same purpose that they did in the war (thank God!), there are many camps that are still standing as memorials to those who lost their lives there and as reminders of the atrocities that took place there so that they may never happen again.Some of these are:Auschwitz (Poland)Mauthausen (Austria)Treblinka (Poland)Theresienstadt (Terezin) (Czech Republic)Buchenwald (Germany)Dachau (Germany)Flossenburg (Germany)Sachsenhausen (Germany)Stutthof (Poland)Majdanek (Poland)Bergen-Belsen (Germany)Ravensbruck (Germany)Chelmno (Poland)These camps existed for various reasons (they were not all extermination camps) and exist currently in various states: some maintain parts of the original camps, some have models, and some are simply memorials at camp sites.Parts of Auschwitz, Buchenwald and Dachau have been preserved as major museums.Note. If you are planning to visit any of the former camps listed above it is best to check out beforehand what is actually there. In many cases there is little more than a memorial, while some are large museums.
Were any American Jews killed during the holocaust?
Unlikely, as whilst the US was still neutral they were able to extradite their citizens from the concentration camps. If they were still in Germany after all of the warnings in the 1930's something was going wrong.
Are there any Gulags still active?
yes and no, gulags are no longer used for labor camps such as they were durning WW2 but they are still used as historic sites and miltary camps
Life under Nazi and Japanese occupation?
In the countries that Germany and Japan had conquered and occupied during World War 2, living conditions were terrible. Both governments were cruel and ruthless towards their enemies. As examples: * Some of Germany's concentration camps became death camps for Jews and other minorities; * In some countries Germany occupied, such as France, workers from France were shipped to Germany to work in Germany's factories; * Dissidents in Eastern Europe as example, were shot without any due process; * Imperial Japan was also a ruthless conqueror. In places like China, bombing civilian populations was common; * American & other nation's POW's had a 17% death rate where Japan had set up camps for their imprisonment; and * Any dissenters in China or in southeast Asia, were brutally killed.
Where were the Jews killed?
Typically in any pogrom or genocide against the Jews, the Jews were killed in close proximity to where they lived, usually in the same town. The Holocaust was relatively unique in that Jews were first confined to ghettos and then shipped across the empire to concentration camps, labor camps, and death camps. Most of the outright-killing and gassing occurred at the death camps. However, abuse from guards, starvation, and disease killed many in the ghettos, concentration camps, and the labor camps.

How did Hitler try to cover up mass death in the first year the camps opened?
Please note that the cover up lasted for the entire period 1941-45. The victims weren't told they were being sent to death camps, simply that they were being "relocated". In the early stages, they sometimes had to send postcards to any next of kin still at home to say that they had arrived safely. Incidentally, the extermination camps were located in Poland; they weren't just down the road from Germany as it were. Towards the end, they hid the camps by burying the bodies, planting trees, etc.
