A concentration camp is a place where one's enemies - usually in wartime - are kept. Usually to prevent them from being of service to the enemy.
The concept was invented by the British during the Boer War in South Africa - the Boer menfolk had taken to guerrilla warfare and were being aided by their wives and families. The british rounded up the wives and families in an effort to hamper the men's activities.
