The
Germans set up a network of concentration camps (and also forced labor
facilities) across Europe. Many were in Germany, but even more
were located throughout the territory of Poland. The Germans put such camps in Poland both
because there were more Jews located in Eastern Europe, Poland and
Western Russia and the Ukraine and also because of Nazi views of the
Slavic peoples to the east of Germany as sub-human people requiring
forced resettlement or elimination. So the camps needed to be in eastern Europe. |
