List of Nazi internment types
The Nazi Germany interned civilians in a variety of different kinds of facilities. In popular discourse, many of these are often grouped together under the umbrella term concentration camp. However, historians reserve this term for camps run by the Concentration Camps Inspectorate and later the SS Main Economic and Administrative Office.[7][8] Other types of detention facilities employed by the Nazi regime included:[7][8]
- Early concentration camps
- Forced-labor camps (German: Arbeitslager)
- Germanization facilities
- Gestapo camps
- Nazi ghettos
- Gypsy camps
- Military brothels
- Prisoner-of-war camps
- Prisons
- Transit camps (German: Durchgangslager)
Leitmeritz concentration camp
Near Leitmeritz there were three types of Nazi detention facilities: Leitmeritz concentration camp, a subcamp of Flossenbürg; Theresienstadt Ghetto (lower right, west of the Eger River) and Theresienstadt Small Fortress, a Gestapo prison.[5][6]
Nazi allies also operated their own internment facilities, including:[9]
- Internment camps in Bulgaria
- Concentration camps in the Independent State of Croatia
- Internment camps in Finland
- Internment camps in France
- Internment camps in French North Africa
- Internment camps in Hungary
- Internment camps of Italy
- Concentration camps in Norway
- Internment camps of Romania
- Internment camps in the Slovak State
- Internment camps in Tunisia
The editors of Encyclopedia of Camps and Ghettos estimate that these sites totaled more than 42,500 locations, of which 980 were Nazi concentration camps proper.[10]
