Concentration camps served two purposes: to demoralize and dehumanize.

Demoralization was accomplished by the extremely regimental daily routine of the camp. Deviating from this routine often resulted in death.

Dehumanization was accomplished by surrounding inmates with death, disease, and unhygienic conditions.
