Prisoners in concentration camps were housed in large huts. The German word for a large hut is a Baracke and in the English-speaking countries this has been translated by the most plausible-looking English word that looks like it - barracks. (This is in fact a mistranslation but we are probably stuck with it).

They were housed in large wooden huts. In Holocaust these huts are often referred to as barracks. This is a mistranslation of the German Barracken which means prefabricated huts.
