Bergen-BelsenThis camp was originally a P.O.W. camp
(prisoner of war) but was later in 1943 became a concentration camp for Jews and other “enemies of the state.” This camp, like, Auschwitz was an extermination camp. However, unlike Auschwitz, it was also a labor camp for exclusively “fit” men.

WesterborkThis camp was not an extermination or labor
camp. It was simply built to hold prisoners of all kind (POW’s, Jews, traders, etc.) until they were shipped off to Auschwitz.

because there weren’t many actual cells to contain them.

DrancySurprisingly this camp lasted so long because
it was in France where the allies first invaded on D-Day. This was a small but very inconspicuous camp, due to the fact that it was merely a building that was taken over by Nazis and converted into a concentration camp.
