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.
concentration camps were German , NONE were Polish !!!
Germans
the SS
The German concentration camps were used to EXECUTE the Jews and the other "inferior races" so I would think that the camps did not have any health rules.
because the camps were there for their protection
The existence and activities of concentration camps were obvious to all German civilians. No need telling by the smell.

George Zielezinski has written: '24 drawings from the concentration camps in Germany' -- subject(s): Concentration camps, Drawing, German, German Drawing
Most were murdered.
ghettos, concentration camps, and death camps
During the Kristallnacht and the days that followed about 30,000 German Jews were sent to concentration camps.
The only reason there were punishments in Nazi concentration camps is because the German guards enjoyed humiliating and torturing their captives to death.
