Concentration Camp
A concentration camp is where people are detained or confined without trial{site}. Auschwitz was just 3 out the many concentration camps created by the Nazis. These camps were created to keep the jews and other minorities alive and under control. The nazis did not want to kill the jews without benefiting from them. They kept the jews working, hungry, cold, and scared. A concentration camps was not the ideal place to ever end up in. They were always in horrible condition.

Nothing about the holocaust was fair and we all need to work our hardest to make sure nothing like it ever happens
