Some Nazi camps were mixed concentration and death camps. Auschwitz-Birkenau, for instance, was such a camp. The Auschwitz part served as the concentration camp/work camp. Birkenau was the part of the complex that functioned as the extermination camp.

I understand that and I would argue the distinction is meaningless. There were just different methods of murder but the end result was the same. Death by gas or death by various other horrible means. IMO this does not give license to these comparisons to the border today.

The distinction may be meaningless to the casual observer but it matters a great deal to both those running the camps and those put in them. You have a better chance of survival with overwork & starvation than you do with Zyklon-B.

I’d like to know exactly what these self-appointed geniuses think is going to happen in severely overcrowded conditions with our government denying most access to hygiene and medical care.

Its somewhat telling how little Dachau, the model concentration camp, is used as a model by these people

I understood that the concentration camps were designed to extract as much work as possible from the inmates while slowly starving the to death. 2 birds, 1 stone.
