"Well, I think that this definition is nonsense. In Poland when you are saying “concentration camp”, you mean camp where planed extermination happened."


No--of course not, Lukasz. You irresponsibly jumped to conclusions. However, I formulated my thoughts not well, and I should have said this:

Polish POW Concentration camps were definitely not extermination camps of Nazis or Labor-to-death camps of GULAGS. But still they were concentration camps by definition.

Anyway, I think you understand what I mean. Definitely Poland did not have camps designed for extermination. They were detention centers.

"Those who look in past are doomed. Relax your heart all of you and go further in journey of life for it is worth it to forgive and let it go. History is like boiling water of acid; love brings this to calm."

There is a difference: a concentration camp or a POW camp. We should be careful about definitions.

I understood what you meant. You provided indeed correct definition. My point is that at least in Poland few people know this definition.

BTW According to this definition Guantanamo also is a concentration camp.
