What is the difference between a Concentration camp and an Extermation camp?

A Concentration camp was used to torture or force their prisoners to work. An extermination camp was where they were all systematically murdered in mass quantities, and in horrific ways. (An extermination camp was also known as a death camp.) I hope this helps you.


What is the difference between death camps and labor camps?

Although the British are said to have invented and used concentration camps in the Boer War, such camps are mainly associated with Nazi Germany.The Nazis had four main types of camp:The Stalags: prisoner-of-war campsLabour camps: where slave labourers were housedConcentration camps: interim holding campsExtermination camps; where prisoners were murdered soon after arrival.Some concentration camps also has extermination facilities such as gas chambers and incinerators.British and Allied POWs were treated relatively well.Russian and East European POWs were treated very badly, often being starved or murdered.Slave labourers were treated sufficiently well to keep them useful to the Nazi state, but such workers did not last long before they became infirm and were shipped off for extermination.In concentration camps, conditions were hell on earth.In extermination camps, the poor victims did not have long to suffer before they were killed.


What other races did Hitler perescute?

In addition to the Jews, many Gypsies were killed. The Nazis also sent homosexuals, communists, pacifists and Jehovah's Witnesses to the concentration camps. They also killed handicapped people and later in the war some Allied PoWs and Catholic priests also ended up in the camps. Russian PoWs weren't generally sent to concentration camps but had camps separate to Allied PoWs and were very poorly treated and died in their thousands in captivity. Many of the people subjugated by the Nazis weren't sent to concentration camps but were rounded up to work in labour camps attached to German factories, and again, conditions in these camps and at the work-sites were atrocious so many slave workers died. These included Poles, Czechs and French.


Which US companies profited from Nazi involvement?

Kodak used people from camps to work for them. Hugo Boss made Nazi uniforms. Volkswagen also use people from camps to run production. Bayer helped in making the gas and experiments used on the prisoners. This is just a few out of many companies.


Where were concentration camps located during world war 2?

Concentration camps were either forced labor camps or death camps. Either way, most inmates were worked until they died. Filthy conditions and minimal food led to many deaths by starvation and disease. In some cases, hideous medical experiments were performed, often to discover better ways to kill prisoners. The people sent to these camps were treated in a totally malicious and inhumane manner. The death camps were part of Hitler's "Final Solution" (genocide of the Jews), although ethnic Polish populations were subject to the same type of methodical exterminations.
