Why were people sent to concerntration camps?

Answer 1

Within these camps they could 'concentrate' or group specific types of people in one place.

Answer 2

People did not 'go' to concentration camps, they had no choice, they were forced and beaten. If there was a refusal to go they would be killed.

It was not a choice to go to a concentration camp.

Also, they were prisoners and mostly told they were going to be put to work as they were needed for the war effort.

All the above applies to the concentration camps set up by Nazis in Germany and Poland under Adolf Hitler. Other concentration camps have existed in other countries.

Answer 3

The Nazi used concentration camps as a way to keep all the Jews and other prisoners together. Later on, in about 1940, many were converted to be used as death camps to exterminate the Jewish people.
