From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article presents a list of Nazi concentration camps.

A list drawn up in 1967 by the German Ministry of Justice names 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.

The term concentration camp was first used to describe camps operated by the United Kingdom in South Africa during the Second Boer War. The term lost some of its original meaning after the Nazi concentration camps were discovered, and has ever since been understood to refer to a place of mistreatment, starvation, forced labour, and murder.

The data in this table is mainly from Dawidowicz, Lucy S., The War Against the Jews, 1938-1945, New York:Bantam [1986] ISBN 0-5533-4302-5. For a discussion of how the number of victims is determined, see Holocaust victims and death toll.
