German concentration camps (death camps) are primarily secluded places within Germany during World War II. Hitler ordered that "extermination" of people that didn't fit into his idea of what a "perfect" human should be....primarily targeting Jews. The Nazis rounded up Jews like cattle, tattooed numbers on their arms so they could be kept track of, and locked in concentration camps. During their time there, they were starved, beaten, and forced to work until death, often times constructing the very ovens that their bodies were eventually burned in, sometimes when they were still alive but unable to perform a task. This whole act made up the Holocaust. Careful when you google it, pretty graphic pictures.
