World War II - a tragic story for Poland and the World [489]
Both perfect descriptions of a concentration camp!
There are a couple things you need to learn. First of all, you and I, and many others of course, are interested in history, but the majority aren't. That majority is who you should consider when writing crap here and elswhere. Why, because they don't read books and get their "knowledge" from TV, Hollywood histo-dramas, poorly written newspaper articles, and the Net. This is where you and Harry come in. By using the term "concentration camp" for a harsh prison, and you see that is the term "detention camp or prison" used by 99.9% of historians, you are misleading readers into believing that it was a death camp. You will deny that but that is what poorly educated masses think, just like the "Polish concentration camp" used in newspapers for "Nazi concentration camps in occupied Poland" repeated over and over by 'mistake' in American, Israeli, and ...German newspapers, makes the masses believe that Auschwitz was a Polish camp.
You are comparing now Bereza Kartuska prison to KZ Sachsenhausen concentration camp. How clever. In the former about 20 people died in about the same time that in the latter 100,000. That's why there are distinctions.
I could go on about who was at Bereza Kartuska and show that most of the inmates deserved death for their "activities" before incarceration but especially after, but that's another thread. For the unaware: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacres_of_Poles_in_Volhynia
Do link me to your frequent discussions of British concentration camps. You must be discussing them somewhere.
