Actually, the Nazis used the term "concentration camp" as a euphemism for their death camps. Since then, of course, the term "concentration camp" has become synonymous with the death camps, and lost its original meaning which goes back to the 2nd Boer War at the turn of the last century.

...a concentration camp where workers were starved to death or gassed when no longer useful? Not that I'm supporting the relocation camps but they were a far cry from a true concentration camp.
