About this video

From Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in 1933, until the end of World War II in 1945, the Nazis imprisoned millions of people in tens of thousands of sites throughout Germany and German-occupied Europe. Many of these sites were called camps. The Nazis established many types of camps including concentration camps, forced-labor camps, transit camps, and five killing centers, among others. By the end of the Holocaust and World War II, millions of people died from exhaustion, starvation, and deliberate mass murder in the camps.
