Nazi concentration camps



::''See also the related List of German concentration camps'' Concentration camps (''Konzentrationslager'' or ''KZ'') rose to notoriety during their use by Nazi Germany in World War II. The Nazi regime nominally maintained both kinds of concentration camps: labor camps (since the beginning of their regime in 1933) and extermination camps. In fact, it is difficult to draw a distinction between the two categories. 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. Guards were known to use prisoners as targets in target practice. 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. The first Nazi camps were within Germany, and were primarily work camps. The worst excesses, including the murder of Judaism, homosexuals, Roma and Sinti, Jehovah's Witnesses, Poland intellectuals, Soviet Union prisoner of war and others, were to come later in the war at the area of General Government. (See Holocaust, genocide.) It is estimated that up to ten million people died in Nazi concentration camps; of them, six million were killed in the 15 larger camps. == Controversy: Holocaust denial == As part of an ongoing phenomenon of Holocaust denial, Robert Faurisson claimed in 1979 that "the Nazis did not have gas chambers and did not attempt a genocide of Jews. He contended that the 'myth' of the gas chambers had been promoted by Zionists...for the benefit of the state of Israel and to the detriment of Germans and Palestinians." These contentions have led some to conclude that the Holocaust was fabricated. For instance, revisionist Ernst Zündel issued pamphlets such as ''Did Six Million Really Die''?. However this is generally considered to be an example of revisionist history that is contradicted by the ongoing research of those, such as the Nizkor Project, Deborah Lipstadt, John Keegan, Raul Hilberg (who published ''The Destruction of the European Jews''), Lucy Davidowicz (who published ''The War Against the Jews''), Norman Davies, Primo Levi, Simon Wiesenthal, the Simon Wiesenthal Center, and more at Holocaust (resources)#External links, all of which Holocaust denial examined. == Related articles == * Concentration camp * List of German concentration camps ** List of concentration camps for Poles ** List of Polish Martyrology sites ==External links== *[http://www.shoaheducation.com/killingcenters.html Nazi Killing and Atrocity Centers: Summaries] *[http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/tattoos1.html Evolution of Tattooing in the Auschwitz Concentration Camp] *[http://www.buergervereinigung-landsberg.de/ European Holocaust Memorial] Holocaust Nazi Germany Concentration camps Nazi concentration camps SS

Why is this entry necessary in addition to List of concentration camps for Poles? User:Moncrief, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC) :Someone moved the camps detaining other people then Poles also, to the new entry. :: The idea was to split the original list into three obvious pieces: Nazi, Gulag, and unclear. This separation is not dogma. If someone proves that Tomsk camp was set up by Hitler, he is welcome to make corrections. User:Mikkalai 17:04, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC) The whole list was copied over from the Polish law. I think the list was created by some historians working for Polish government, to verify retirenment rights of former prisoners. Somebody can claim, i.e. that he was imprisoned in concentration camp Washington DC, but then he can be verified by the list of actually existing camps. Logically derived conclusion says, the list should include all existing camps. User:Cautious 08:43, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC) : I digged up some more Polish laws and more explanations. We are lucky is was an earlier version of the list, otherwise we'd had to sift out the detainment sites for members of Solidarity and other more recent dissidents. User:Mikkalai 09:04, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC) ::Lucky Solidarity leaders were, no to be in hands of Nazis or Soviets in their places of imprisonement. User:Cautious 09:07, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC) No objections on Mark's move of this particular page, but I have to notice that is is done formally, without putting the content into accordance with the tille, leaving a possibility for a next best wikipedian to come, read the article, and move it somewhere else. User:Mikkalai 19:44, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)? who? == Denial == Holocaust denial is not a "phenomenon", it is a propaganda campaign by those who seek another opportunity to commit genocide. Describing it as a phenomenon denies that it is a willful act (which incidentally is recognized as a criminal act in many European countries.)
