  German camps in occupied Poland during World War II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The German camps in occupied Poland during World War II were built by Nazi Germany during its occupation of Poland (1939-1945).
The primary intention of these camps was the extermination of the Jews from all the countries occupied by the Germans, except the Soviet Union (Soviet Jews were generally killed on the spot).
A concentration camp (Konzentrationslager, KL or KZ) was a camp which was designed to exploit the labour of prisoners, rather than to exterminate them, although the majority of prisoners eventually died from execution, starvation, disease or exhaustion.

 Concentration camp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
Until Nazi Germany set up camps whose objective was to either put political opponents into forced labor, or to kill them, the 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.
Though they were not extermination camps, the Boer camps were noted for their poor nutrition and bad hygiene, and the associated high mortality rates (28,000 women and children died).

The term often implies camps designed for the extermination of the interned (extermination camps) or their engagement in forced labor (labor camps).
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 to support a similar anti-insurgency campaign in Cuba at roughly the same time (see below).
Still another one was camp Westerbork, which served as a transit camp (Durchgangslager) of Jews (Dutch and refugees) and Gypsies to extermination camps of Auschwitz and Sobibor.

 Nazi concentration camps   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The Nazi regime nominally maintained both kinds of concentration camps: labor camps (since the beginning of their regime in 1933) and extermination camps.
Prisoners in many Nazi labor camps could often expect to be worked to death in short order, while prisoners in extermination camps usually died sooner in gas chambers or in other ways.
Sometimes the concentration camps were used to hold important prisoners, such as the generals involved in the attempted assassination by bomb of Hitler, U-Boat captain turned Lutheran pastor Martin Niemoller, and Admiral Wilhelm Canaris who was interned at Flossenburg starting February 7, 1945, until he was hung April 9th.

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.
Since the nature of Nazi Germany's so-called "concentration camps" became known (see below), the term is often used propagandistically by opponents, with greater or lesser justification, to imply that a camp is designed to exterminate, rather than merely to concentrate, its inmates.
Although these camps were not intended to be extermination camps, and there was absolutely no official policy to kill people, some Indians were raped and/or murdered by US soldiers.

GULAG (Russian: Glavonoye Upravleniye Lagerey, Main Camp Administration) was the branch of the Soviet secret police (the NKVD and later on the KGB) that dealt with concentration camps.
However, there are numerous deposits of valuable minerals in this region, and the inmates were forced to mine them in inhuman conditions: in spite of very cold climate, the inmates were neither adequately clothed, fed, healed if ill, nor given any means to combat the lack of vitamins that led to scurvy.
Many songs by people such as Vladimir Visotsky and Alexander Gorodnitsky (neither of whom ever served time in the GULAG camps), that deal with life in camps, became a part of the Russian folklore, thus emphasizing the extent to which the GULAG affected every Russian's life.
