| | Concentration camp |
 | | The term refers to a subset of the more general category of prison camps. | | | The total documentable deaths in the corrective-labor system from 1934 to 1953 amount to 1 054 000, including political and common prisoners; this does not include nearly 800 000 executions of "counterrevolutionaries" outside the camp system. | | | Nevertheless, they remain a severe blot on the human rights record of the United States. |

| | Many of the camps were established early in the Nazi regime under the "Protective Custody" law of February 28, 1933 which authorized the police to make arrests on suspicion of criminal activity and incarcerated without benefit of legal counsel or trial. | | | These barracks held the "court rooms" where the prisoners were "tried" and usually sentenced to death. | | | All were convicted and sentenced to prison terms ranging form 1 to 20 years. |

| | Frequently, the entire procedure, from the unloading to entry into the gas chambers, was accompanied by beatings and other acts of cruelty on the part of the Germans and the Ukrainians. | | | SS-Oberscharfu"hrer Heinrich Matthes, who was responsible for the extermination sector in Treblinka, testifies: An SS-Oberscharfu"hrer or Hauptsch~rfuflrer Floss arrived at this time, who, so I presume, must previously have been in another camp. | | | A reason for this may be that either Himmler issued no written statement on this subject, or that any orders and directives were destroyed. |
