List of Nazi concentration camps

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article lists some of concentration camps set up by the Third Reich, and includes camps such as Dachau which was set up at first to help the Nazis keep power and control political opponents, and other camps such as Auschwitz which was set up to help fulfil the Final Solution. The German Ministry of Justice, in 1967, named about 1200 camps and subcamps in countries occupied by Nazi Germany,[1] while the Jewish Virtual Library writes "It is estimated that the Nazis established 15,000 camps in the occupied countries."[2] Most of these camps were destroyed.
