Yes. Of course the guards and administrators were paid. They were not expected to work simply out of devotion to the Nazi cause.

No. The prisoners were slave labourers. However, at some camps, they were occasionally given 'camp money' as an incentive to work even harder. This was, however, unusual.

How did the Nazi concentration camps make money?

The Nazi concentration camps generated money through various means. They forced prisoners into labor, which was exploited by private companies that paid the SS (Schutzstaffel) for their use. Additionally, prisoners' personal belongings and valuables were confiscated upon their arrival, and the camps also engaged in various forms of economic exploitation, such as selling confiscated property and possessions. Finally, some camps produced and sold goods, such as textiles or household items.


How did the concentration camps in America differ from the camps in Germany?

German concentration camps were mostly extermination or death camps designed to murder the inmates, primarily Jews. Some camps also sent out inmates to be used as slave labor. All the German camps were operated in total violation of international law and well outside all standard norms of behavior. The American camps were not "concentration" camps, but internment camps for Japanese, German & Italian nationals, as well as several thousand Japanese-Americans citizens and Japanese legal aliens from the west coast of the US. In accordance with international law, those foreign nationals from enemy countries (in the US when the war started) were interned in the camps only as long as the war lasted, and were freed at the end of the war. Unfortunately there are many myths and misconceptions about the relocation and internment of Japanese in the US. Japanese-American citizens and legal aliens were not relocated from Hawaii, the mid-west or the east coast of the United States. Only those living in the west coast areas were subject to this government action. Japanese-Americans were released from these camps based on various criteria, some well before the end of the war, others later near the end. Most of the Japanese-Americans that were interned the longest were from families that were unwilling to swear allegiance to the United States. Internment was based on the US government suspicion that many of the Japanese in America as legal aliens were loyal to Japan not the United States. In fact, a minority of those interned were vocally pro-Japanese and anti-American. Many Japanese-Americans volunteered to serve in the US military during the war. If they were currently interned, then they were permanently released to serve. The volunteer rates of those inside the camps was actually lower than from those Japanese-Americans outside the camps. In any event, it was not the policy of the US government to mistreat the internees. In fact the internees were generally well treated and cared for in almost all cases. The US court system had ruled in WW2 that it was legal for the government to take this action. Regardless, the Japanese-American citizens believed that the idea was wrong for them to have been sent to the camps in the first place. They petitioned the US government for compensation after the war. Eventually the US government apologized and paid some compensation to former internees, but the bitterness would remain for many.


How did the Nazis trick the Jews into boarding trains heading for the concentration camps?

In many places Jews were first sent into a small section of their towns, the Jewish areas were blocked off, allowing very little food in or anything else. After being starved and herded like cattle, they were promised that if they moved they would be able to go to a place where they would receive proper attention. They were then herded into trains where there was no food or water and many were starved.


What happen to Japanese Americans who lived on the west coast during the war?

Americans feared that they were working with Japan. Also, there was deep seeded prejudice and economic rivalry. Nativist politicians and farmers wanted Japanese-American land and so they whipped up the rage of Californians, and they were aided by the false government report that Japanese-Americans in Hawaii were helping the Japanese naval force.
