∙ 8y agoNo, not all the people in the Concentration Camps were Jews. However, most of those were Jews. These camps were not called "internment" camps. Historically, "Internment" is an internationally accepted method of nations to temporarily, humanely & safely house any civilians of enemy nations during war. These civilians would have been living or visiting outside of their country when the war started. After the war, those people in internment camps would be released, if they had not committed crimes.
The Nazi German Concentration Camps in Europe held political opponents of the Nazis and then primarily Jews. By 1942 these camps were transitioned into slave labor & extermination camps.
