What did the rest of the world think about the concentration camps?

They did not really know about them while they were in operation and could not get to them to see because of the war.
When they were discovered and the world came to know what had been going on there was absolute revulsion for what had been done and a desire to put the perpetrators on trial.
Now as the people that saw (and in the case of the survivors, experienced) what had happened in them die off, what was done is so awful that people are beginning to deny that it could have happened. However, the evidence has been carefully preserved so that we will be forever remained of the depravity to which humanity is capable of sinking, there never to go again.

What were the point of concentration camps?
To hold Jewish people separate from the rest of the population for work, experimentation, and extermination.
What did the Nazis do to separate Jews from the rest of the Germans?
they made the Jews wear the star of David and sent them to concentration camps
This was the process of dividing the Jews at the concentration Camps?
The word is selection. Some Jews were selected for work, the rest were sent to the gas chambers. This could only happen (on a large scale) at camps that were both extermination camps and labour camps, namely Auschwitz and Majdanek.
Were any human experiments conducted at the concentration camps?
The medical experiments were gruesome and had little merit for the rest of the medical world. There motivations for the experiments were mostly about studying sub-humans according to their view. See the attached links.
Why were they called concentration camps?
The name in German is (Konzentrationslager) that means concentration camp, at first were intended to hold political prisoners and opponents of the Nazi empire but after the WW2 began Hitler use the first six concentration camps to hold and exterminate jews, homosexuals, gypsies but later he find out he could use those people for work so he created various types of concentration camps: Labour camps: concentration camps where interned inmates had to do hard physical labour under inhuman conditions and cruel treatment. Some of these camps were sub-camps of bigger camps, or "operational camps", established for a temporary need. Transit and collection camps: camps where inmates were collected and routed to main camps, or temporarily held. POW camps: concentration camps where prisoners of war were held after capture. These POW's endured torture and liquidation in a big scale. Hostage camps: camps where hostages were held and killed as reprisals. Extermination camps: These camps differed from the rest, since not all of them were also concentration-camps. Although none of the categories is independent, and each camp could be classified as a mixture of several of the above, and all camps had some of the elements of an extermination camp, still systematic extermination of new-arrivals occured in very specific camps. Of these, three were extermination camps, where all new-arrivals were simply killed -- The "Reinhardt Aktion" camps. Three others were concentration and extermination camps altogether. Others were at times classified as "minor extermination camps."

What was the Role of women and minorities in World War 1 and World War 2?
sex slavesA:In World War 2 during the Holocaust, girls in Germany and all the countries Germany controled at the time were separated into two groups, the Aryan Race, which Hitler thought to be the perfect race, and then the rest. The Aryan Race were sent to camps where they were taught how to be the perfect wife. The inferior races and Jews were either sent to concentration camps where they were gassed and killed, worked to death (litterally), or died on the long, hard train ride there. Jews were mostly killed, but concentration camps were also taken into consideration. So the women spent their lives either being the perfect wife, or at concentration camps, but if I had to say a lot of them probably didn't even make it to adulthood. Jews were always killed.
