Historically people have apparently really disliked Judaism, from their oppression(and various counts of genocide and mass murder over several hundred years) at the hands of the Romans and later Byzantines, oppression by Muslims, the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, the hundreds of blood libels incited by christians from 700 CE to 1950 CE, their persecution, and murder, at the hands of Russian in in the early 1900s(and earlier), and of course, the Holocaust. We are however just focusing in on the last one mentioned, the Holocaust, and how Hitler originally wanted to solve his ‘Jewish problem’ and how it eventually escalated to his ‘Final Solution’.

Initially this was not the intention of concentration camps, as many of the them were opened and used long before the first gassing of Jews at Chelmno in 1941. They were originally used as detention and forced labour camps to detain enemies of the state(especially Jews). The system of camps was not even formalised until 1934 when the SS retained its independence from the SA , and Himmler was order by Hitler to streamline and formalise the camps. After the system was established the SS operated Dachau, Sachsenhausen, Buchenwald, and Lichtenburg. Later these expanded and even more were built throughout Großdeutschland(Greater Germany). Eventually, after the start of WW2 the SS expanded the camps, and started to exploit labour for economic gain. As well they began using them to exterminate small groups that angered the government, or were considered dangerous. This period(1939-42) the SS also built gas chambers into many camps to execute undesirables. After the US entered the war and the slow progress in Russia the SS started contracting with arms companies to produce war material at camps.
