How are Holocaust and concentration camp are related?

Answer 1

Yes. Unfortunately they were.

The Holocaust was the persecution of the Jews, by Adolf Hitler. It mainly started when he became Dictator in Germany in 1934, after his predecessor died.

Hitler spread the word around that Jewish people were bad, people loyal to the devil. He had many Jewish people sacked from their jobs, and replaced with Nazi-loving, pure-german men. Especially the ones from the high-standing jobs.

The Jewish almost became a taboo, and they were hunted in the streets by the SS, Hitler's secret police. it became dangerous for anybody to hang around, or be too friendly with Jews. It even got to the stage where you could not shop in a Jew's shop without being a target for the SS yourself.

The Jews were degraded, their citizenship taken away from them.

Concentration camps were built almost as soon as Hitler became Dictator. Homosexuals, communists, criminals and other minority classes were also thrown into the camps, but the Jews were by far the most persecuted.

This happened in all of the countries Germany occupied, especially Poland.

Soon, some of the concentration camps turned into extermination camps.

6 million Jews died.
