Why did Hitler place the concentration camps where he did?

Answer 1

You mean in remote, out of the way places? My opinion would be that concentration camps were built in remote areas to discourage escape and to keep the brutality and inhumanity as far away from the public eye as possible.

Answer 2

he wanted the camps so he can get rid of the jews by putting them on hard labor until they eventually died or just killed them in gas chambers-and many other methods of murder or torture. but he basically just wanted the camps to kill jews and other religions like jahova witness', even gypsies, and homosexuals.

Answer 3

Hitler's generals and ministers conspired to create camps like Auschwitz to create the appearance of work camps for Jews (and a few other groups that didn't fit the Nazi picture of Europe). The camps served the dual purpose of mass destruction of a people & culture, and disguising what was really occurring.

Answer 4

He firstly wanted to have concentration camps to "Re-educate" people into believing the Nazi ideals. However soon, this was an excuse into just killing people and working them to death.

Answer 5

Because he had a deep hatred of Jews. Concentration camps were part of what was called the final solution. (to kill all Jew's)

Answer 6

So that he could make the slaves work to death and try and get them them to do what he wanted them to do.
