In the history of mankind, the most famous prison camp is the Auschwitz concentration camp where millions of human beings spent the last days of their days. The best-known group from Auschwitz are the Jews who lost the largest number of inhabitants and are also the most remembered from the concentration camp. A prison camp is defined as “a camp for the confinement of prisoners of war or political prisoners” (“Prisoner camps,” Dictionary.com).
