how do they treat their people? do they still have concentration camps today? where are they located?
 
Lets take the Holocaust for example.

The concentration camps were made up with Jews, Homosexuals, Disabled, Jehovah Witnesses etc

They'd usually be make the fit work even children.
If you were too old you'd probably just be killed.
 
Concentration camps are work camps. They are larged fenced off areas were prisoners are 'concentrated' together. In Nazi Germany, Catholics, Gypsies, Jehovah's Witnesses, Jews, communists, mentally ill, and enemies of the state were all herded into concentration camps. The Soviets used 'gulags'.

Concentration camps are noted for their brutality, genocide, neglect, starvation, and other harsh conditions. They will work you on hard construction projects in the snow, cold, and rain wearing light clothing and not feed you for days, until you drop dead.

They have concentration camps throughout Asia, China, Russia, and North Korea and parts of Africa.
 
Concentration camps no longer exist. Why ask this question?
If you are referring to the Nazi Camps, read William Shirer's "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich".
 
It depends on what kind of concentration camp you are talking about. The ones most commonly talked about and taught in schools were the camps started by Hitler. If those are the ones you are looking for;

Concentration camps, or konzentrationslager in German, were camps used to imprison innocent people (in this case, those of Jewish decent) against the accepted norms of society. Here, Jews were imprisoned in a very inhumane manner that is better left off public pages accessible to younger people and those of faint heart. Konzentrationslager were located sporadically throughout Germany, Austria, and Western Europe.

Aside from concentration camps, there were also death camps, or vernichtungslager, where Jews were taken for immediate death. Altho the happenings at the death camps are much MUCH to graphic for YA, I can tell you that they were all located in Poland. There are 6 known of, including Chlemno and Auschwitz. Auschwitz may sound familiar to you, as it was there Anne Frank died.

If you would like to know more about this particular kind of camps, feel free to email me and I can give you more detailed information in a more neutral setting.
