Yes. There are still a number of Holocaust survivors with numbers tattoed into their flesh. However, as time marches on, the day is not far off when there will be no more Holocaust survivors alive to bear witness.

I personally have met some Holocaust survivors with numbers tattooed in their arm.

What year did the holcaust end?

Just prior to the end of the war, many officers in work/death camps abandoned the populations, and locked them in. Many of the people inside were suffering from exposure, naked, starved, and unable to even process food. Their bodies were literally reduced to skeletons, many unable to walk. The look in their eyes can be described as beyond suffering. Many survivors still have the numbers on their arms, tattooed. For them, the holocaust, or Shoach, never ended, because the people who died still aren't alive, and many people of the world still want to see Jews exterminated.

What does German concentration camps mean?

German concentration camps (death camps) are primarily secluded places within Germany during World War II. Hitler ordered that "extermination" of people that didn't fit into his idea of what a "perfect" human should be....primarily targeting Jews. The Nazis rounded up Jews like cattle, tattooed numbers on their arms so they could be kept track of, and locked in concentration camps. During their time there, they were starved, beaten, and forced to work until death, often times constructing the very ovens that their bodies were eventually burned in, sometimes when they were still alive but unable to perform a task. This whole act made up the holocaust. Careful when you google it, pretty graphic pictures.
