A concentration camp is a facility where large numbers of people are detained, often without trial, typically under harsh conditions. These camps are used by governments to imprison political opponents, minority groups, or those deemed undesirable. The term is most commonly associated with the camps established during World War II, particularly by the Nazi regime in Germany. In these camps, detainees faced forced labor, inadequate food, and poor living conditions. Many concentration camps were sites of extreme human rights abuses, including torture and mass executions. The legacy of these camps serves as a reminder of the consequences of intolerance and discrimination in society.
