The thing about World War II is that everyone knows about the concentration camps in Europe - in Nazi Germany and Poland and Auschwitz and the other camps - but, no one really talks about the camps that were here in the United States.

Lea Salonga

Consider why Germany, fighting a war on two fronts, desperate for fuel and materiel of every sort, would bother to load millions of Jews on railroad cars and transport them hundreds, even thousands, of miles to concentration camps. Camps built specifically to house them, where they would be fed, clothed, even tattooed so they could be inventoried...just to kill them.

Edgar Steele

Even before the concentration camps, I felt it was my duty to my ancestors to preserve a world that might cease to exist.

Roman Vishniac

When I visited concentration camps, I was more interested in how people responded to the camps than in the actual places. I watched kids picnicking on the ovens and other people stricken with grief.

Rachel Whiteread

As Polish society we cannot live with the term 'Polish death camps' or 'Polish concentration camps.'

Andrzej Duda

As a professor in two fields, neurology and psychiatry, I am fully aware of the extent to which man is subject to biological, psychological and sociological conditions. But in addition to being a professor in two fields I am a survivor of four camps - concentration camps, that is - and as such I also bear witness to the unexpected extent to which man is capable of defying and braving even the worst conditions conceivable.

Viktor E. Frankl

The [concentration camps] were swarming with photographers and every new picture of horror served only to diminish the total effect. Now, for a short day, everyone will see what happened to those poor devils in those camps; tomorrow, very few will care what happens to them in the future.

Robert Capa

There were ten concentration camps in France from 1939 on.

Martha Gellhorn

Concentration camps were entirely a matter for the police and had nothing to do with the administration.

Hans Frank

No doubt concentration camps were a means, a menace used to keep order.

Albert Speer

I never exploited my father’s role in helping Jews avoid the concentration camps...

Zbigniew Brzezinski

I think my whole life has been shaped by my childhood incarceration in America's concentration camps.

George Takei

Marx.... Lenin.... Mao Tse-Tung.... These men were animated by the love of brother and this we must believe though their ends meant the seizure of power, and the building of mighty armies, the compulsion of concentration camps, the forced labor and torture and killing of tens of thousands, even millions.

Dorothy Day

Then one day I realized that a false picture of the German camps had been created and that the problem of the concentration camps was a universal one, not just one that could be disposed of by placing it on the doorstep of the National Socialists. The deportees - many of whom were Communists - had been largely responsible for leading international political thinking to such an erroneous conclusion. I suddenly felt that by remaining silent I was an accomplice to a dangerous influence.
