The first concentration camps were opened in Germany in 1933, with the camp at Dachau being the earliest. By the beginning of World War II in 1939, the Nazis had established over 1,500 camps across Europe, housing Jewish people and other prisoners. The prisoners experienced harsh conditions, forced labor, malnutrition and abuse, and as many as 6 million Jewish people were killed in the camps and gas chambers during the Holocaust.

3. How were the Jews treated? The Jews were treated horribly, in the Concentration Camps they would be forced in labor, the Jews would do back-breaking work for the Nazis to help them gear up to continue WWII. When the Jews simply could not work any longer they were killed. The Jews were also used to build construction work.
