Not anymore, but there were in the Second World War. They were known more commonly as internment camps during those times; the term concentration camp was created by the Nazis in the 1930's.

How did the U.S. rescue the Jews from the concentration camps?

The US did NOT "rescue Jews from the concentration camps." When the US and England had a chance to destroy Nazi concentration camps with bombing, they refused, preferring instead to bomb other military targets. Years later, at the end of the war, after six million Jews had already been murdered, some US troops participated in "liberating" a few Nazi camps. However, by then it was too late. There were very few Jews left alive.
