Reply to comment by tvosss in They fled persecution in Nazi Germany. Then the British put them behind barbed wire by lanzkron

Unrelated. You're talking about the Nazi death camps, this article is about concentration camps in Britain.

Internment and concentration camps are the same thing.

There is a difference between death camps and internment/concentration.

That guy and the people that upvoted him clearly want our past in the west to be whitewashed. Concentration camp carries a negative connotation due to the Nazis but the internment camps we had are the literal definition of them. Internment is just a euphemism so people don't associate them with the death camps.
