Early examples of concentration camps are said to have been found in the American Civil War and in the Boer War but in Europe it is probably fair to say that they were an evolved form of ghetto, invented by the Church for the containment of Jews throughout Europe and throughout the Christian era and later adapted as work camps, then as extermination camps for minorities of many kinds, including Jews, the disabled, gypsies, dissidents and non heterosexuals. They would appear to be one among several responses to the Emperor Constantine's letter to the first Council of Nicea, whose first line is said to have read: "What shall we do about the Jews?"
