Best Answer

No, several concentration camps were run by Canadian and American troops in North America during the war (though they weren't called concentration camps; they were called internment camps). They were established mostly to keep Japanese Americans and Canadians under the watchful eye of the military during the war.

It depends on what you mean by what was the solution to the camps, if you mean to the American then all they did was liberate them.

These were where the Germans killed the women and children in gas chambers, and starved them.

How do Jews of sight deny what the Nazis are doing in Europe?

The Jews were tricked by the Nazi Germans. The Jews and the general populace of Germany bought all the lies the Nazi Germans fed them about the Jews and the concentration camps. Most Germans believed the death camps were work camps and war manufacturing places - they are the ones who lived in denial because they feared for their lives and rightly so. They knew they were not labor camps. You could smell the stink of death from more than a mile a way. They knew. Many Jews escaped or fled to the forests in various countries. Some managed to make it to the US and the presidential cabinet heard the horrid truth about the concentration camps.
