  • Concentration camps were for prolonged confinement

    That is not what defines concentration camps.

    Concentration camps, or internment camps, are prisons where people who are arbitrarily targeted by the regime are detained - more often than not in inhumane conditions - without due process. It doesn’t matter if it’s for 5 minutes or 5 years.

    Most Nazi concentration camps were transit camps, designed to, well concentrate people in increasingly high numbers. And in a lot of “final” camps, people got in and were sent off to the gas chambers within hours of arriving there.
