Concentration camps refer to enclosures that detained political prisoners or criminals. The basic objective was to retain these people within manned limits and exploit their services. However, the term was made rather unpopular during World War II, when Adolf Hitler had 20,000 such camps established in and around Europe. The compelling restraint and torture that the prisoners had to endure associated the term with Nazi anti-Semitic Propaganda and death. During the Second World War, they were specially built by the Nazi dictator to imprison millions of victims from German occupied territories. The camps induced forced labor and served as transit stations for military and allied activity.

Executions were commonplace, and most inmates of the camps were simply worked to death. It wasn't until later, however, that the camps came to be associated with Jews. The death camps, on the other hand, were intended only for the Jews from the beginning; these were the camps the Nazis created in order to exterminate them.
