 sociology - Concentration camp
Camps for prisoners of war are usually considered separately from this category, although informally (and in some other languages) they may also be called concentration camps.
Although large numbers of prisoners were concentrated there in horrific conditions from 1863 to 1865, and perhaps a quarter of them died, the prisoners were combatants and the camp is generally classified as a POW camp.
The term concentration camp was coined at this time to signify the "concentration" of a large number of people in one place, and was used to describe both the camps in South Africa and those established by the Spanish to support a similar anti-insurgency campaign in Cuba at roughly the same time (see below).

 Concentration camp :: Web Articles ::
A concentration camp is a large detention center created for political opponents, aliens, specific ethnic or religious groups, civilians of a critical war-zone, or other groups of people, often during a war.
Until Nazi Germany set up camps whose main objective was to kill prisoners, and called them concentration camps to conceal their true purpose, the term was used relatively literally to mean simply a camp where a group of prisoners was concentrated, although conditions may have been less than ideal.
About a dozen concentration camps were in operation until the early 1990s, the figure of which has been curtailed to five today due to increasing criticism of the North's perceived human rights abuses from the international community and the North's internal situation.

 Concentration camp information - Search.com
Since the nature of Germany's so-called "concentration camps" became known, the term is sometimes used as propaganda, with greater or lesser justification, to imply that a camp is designed to exterminate, rather than merely to concentrate, its inmates.
Although large numbers of prisoners were concentrated there in horrific conditions from 1863 to 1865, and perhaps a quarter of them died, the prisoners were combatants and the camp is generally classified as a POW camp.
Concentration camps for Jews and other "undesirables" also existed in Germany itself, and while not specifically designed for systematic extermination, like the extermination camps, many concentration camp prisoners died because of harsh conditions or were executed.

 Jasenovac
The Jasenovac Research Institute joins with the Simon Wiesenthal Center and other anti-fascist institutions and activists around the world in denouncing the release of the World War II war criminal Nada Sakic by the government of Croatia on Monday.
The release and exoneration of this former concentration camp commander and mass murderer at the World War II death camp known as Jasenovac is a dangerous precedent that validates the resurgence of fascism in present day Croatia and amounts to nothing less than a victory for the rebirth and resurgence of fascism worldwide.
The Jasenovac death camp complex encompassed some 150 square miles and was the third largest death camp during the Holocaust in terms of total victims.

The summoning of camp musters and of group musters from which individuals and groups of internees were singled out and executed, the transportation into the Jasenovac camp of large groups of civilians and their execution at the camp execution sites was testified to by one lucky survivor, Bosniak Dervis Sarac in 1998 Dinko Sakic's trial.
As regards the events in the Jasenovac camp, he stresses that he remembers the events in late August or early September 1944, when he was working on the warehouse roof and was able to see six or seven inmates hanging from lamp posts all the way from the gate to the Zvonara building.

Despite historical controversy, a monument commemorating the victims of the Jasenovac concentration camp was placed recently at the Holocaust Memorial Park in Brooklyn.
The monument, a project by Jasenovac Research Institute, was part of the 60th Anniversary of the Jasenovac liberation.
Asked why does the monument state that hundreds of thousands of people were killed in Jasenovac concentration camp when some historians say that is inaccurate, Lucic said that the number of victims in Jasenovac could be debated for long time.

On the northern bank, which today is part of the Republic of Croatia, an impressive ceremony was held with the president, prime minister, speaker of the Parliament and hundreds of guests in attendance to dedicate a spanking new, modern, state-of-the-art historical museum and learning center.
In that respect, the murder in Jasenovac of approximately 10,000 Jews, according to the new Croatian museum, or of 33,000 Jews, according to the old Serbian memorial, was actually only a sideshow to the mass murder of Serbs by the Ustasha.
Only by honestly verifying the number of the victims of the worst of the Ustasha concentration camps will a foundation be created for healing the terrible wounds of the past.

The Ustasha regime established numerous concentration camps in Croatia between 1941 and 1945: The largest was the Jasenovac complex.
Witness to Jasenovac's Hell is a grim first person account of a thirteen-year-old boy, Ilija Ivanoviæ, who was taken from his home in the former Yugoslavia and interred in the Jasenovac concentration camp for three years.

Tudjman demonstrates how the number of victims of Jasenovac increased "slowly but surely." At the beginning of the 1950's the UDB (the Yugoslav secret police) wrote a four-volume survey of the Ustashe movement.
In the minutes of the court proceedings against Ljubo Milos (Ustashe officer of the Jasenovac camp) is written that the president of the court council asked Milos how many people were liquidated in Jasenovac and "whether a number [of victims] could stand" like the one mentioned in the bill of indictment.
And since the mythmakers decided that the Jasenovac myth should state the truth about the unforgivable crime of the Croats, there would also appear a perfected version of the myth.
