What were the conditions in the concentration camps How were they different from extermination camps?
Concentration camps were designed primarily for the detention of political prisoners, forced labor, and the imprisonment of various targeted groups, often under brutal conditions characterized by overcrowding, inadequate food, and poor sanitation. In contrast, extermination camps were specifically built for mass murder, employing gas chambers and other means to systematically kill large numbers of people, primarily Jews during the Holocaust. While both types of camps were horrific, extermination camps had a singular focus on extermination, whereas concentration camps also involved forced labor and imprisonment with the intent to exploit rather than immediately kill.
