During World War II, concentration camps were established by Nazi Germany to detain, exploit, and exterminate millions of people, particularly Jews, political dissidents, Roma, and other marginalized groups. In these camps, individuals faced inhumane conditions, forced labor, starvation, medical experiments, and systematic killings, particularly in extermination camps like Auschwitz. The camps became sites of immense suffering and played a central role in the Holocaust, which resulted in the deaths of approximately six million Jews and millions of others. The brutal realities of these camps serve as a stark reminder of the consequences of hatred and totalitarianism.
During World War II, German prison camps were primarily referred to as "KZ," which stands for "Konzentrationslager" or concentration camps. These camps were used for the detention, forced labor, and extermination of political prisoners, Jews, and other targeted groups. Additionally, there were "Vernichtungslager," or extermination camps, specifically designed for mass killings. Notable examples include Auschwitz, Dachau, and Treblinka.

Distrust and racism led to the internment of Japanese Americans during World War 2. Even families that had lived in the United States for generations were sent to camps.
Japanese internment camps in the United States during World War II were primarily focused on the forced relocation and confinement of Japanese Americans, often without due process, based on wartime hysteria and racial prejudice. In contrast, German concentration camps were sites of systematic extermination, forced labor, and brutal treatment aimed at genocide, particularly against Jews and other targeted groups. While both involved severe human rights violations, the scale and intent of the German camps were vastly different, with the latter being part of the Holocaust. Thus, the two types of camps were more different than similar in their objectives and outcomes.
During World War II, it is estimated that around 1.5 million people worked in Nazi concentration camps, including both prisoners and camp staff. The workforce comprised a mix of forced laborers, prisoners of war, and political dissidents, among others. Additionally, the Nazi regime employed thousands of SS guards and administrative personnel to oversee the camps and manage the forced labor operations. Overall, the camps operated under a brutal system that exploited and dehumanized countless individuals.

Internment camps
Extermination camps. Which were "brilliantly" disguised by the name concentration camps. The Nazi official that came up with that "smart" mask name for it was really stupid, saying that for concentration camps, they would concentrate the populations inside them into well organized groups. Then the secret of the camps came into play: They murdered the "groups." Oh, and they weren't really groups. They were just new arrivals or random prisoners.
