      If Concentration camps were just places to house the undesirables until they could be transported to death camps, as you write, then the use of the term "concentration camp" here is still a gross overstatement and trivializes the term, imho. No one is transporting these children to death camps.
      That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

          Not everyone in concentration camps got sent off to be gassed. many of them just stayed where they were, in concentration camps.

          Sorry, I meant internment camps. No wait, sorry again...…………………………………… …. summer camps.

              No, he's just content sitting back playing holier than thou, like Brent, Drew and Sic do here. Above the fray, can't lower themselves to be drug down into that partisan bickering. Too good for that crap. Superior-like.

                That is your right to believe, I will disagree with you and call it a day.

                From the Encyclopedia Britannica the definition of Concentration Camp:

                "Concentration camp, internment centre for political prisoners and members of national or minority groups who are confined for reasons of state security, exploitation, or punishment, usually by executive decree or military order."
                "It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."
                -aparch

                "Scenes in "Empire Strikes Back" that take place on the tundra planet Hoth were shot on the present-day site of Ralph Engelstad Arena."
                -INCH

                Of course I'm a fan of the Vikings. A sick and demented Masochist of a fan, but a fan none the less.

                    Of course. But you know as well as I do that the term "concentration camp" evokes a very specific reaction since World War II, and that's why people are using that term. It's used for the same reason that the term nazi is used.

                              "Stalag" meant "prisoner-of-war camp."

                              Here is a discussion of the concentration camps from the United States Holocaust Museum. There were 3 stages:

                              1. Detention camps

                              From its rise to power in 1933, the Nazi regime built a series of detention facilities to imprison and eliminate so-called "enemies of the state." Most prisoners in the early concentration camps were German Communists, Socialists, Social Democrats, Roma (Gypsies), Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexuals, and persons accused of "asocial" or socially deviant behavior. These facilities were called “concentration camps” because those imprisoned there were physically “concentrated” in one location.
                              2. Labor camps

                              Following the German invasion of Poland in September 1939, the Nazis opened forced-labor camps where thousands of prisoners died from exhaustion, starvation, and exposure. SS units guarded the camps. During World War II, the Nazi camp system expanded rapidly. In some camps, Nazi doctors performed medical experiments on prisoners.
                              3. Death camps

                              To facilitate the "Final Solution" (the genocide or mass destruction of the Jews), the Nazis established killing centers in Poland, the country with the largest Jewish population. The killing centers were designed for efficient mass murder. Chelmno, the first killing center, opened in December 1941. Jews and Roma were gassed in mobile gas vans there. In 1942, the Nazis opened the Belzec, Sobibor, and Treblinka killing centers to systematically murder the Jews of the Generalgouvernement (the territory in the interior of occupied Poland).

                              The Nazis constructed gas chambers (rooms that filled with poison gas to kill those inside) to increase killing efficiency and to make the process more impersonal for the perpetrators. At the Auschwitz camp complex, the Birkenau killing center had four gas chambers. During the height of deportations to the camp, up to 6,000 Jews were gassed there each day.
                              Dump is well on his way to 1.

                              Give him time; it's only been 18 months.

                                Just as the words "murderers and thieves" and "Infest our country" evokes a very specific reaction, provokes a very desired response.

                                Didn't see you whining about that.
