During World War II, the German Nazis built and staffed numerous concentration camps on Polish soil. These camps were all built and manned by the Nazis. Occasionally, American media outlets have ignorantly and unfairly characterized these as “Polish Concentration Camps.” NOTHING could be further from the truth! <\/p>\n
