Question 16 • RMA FL-2100310-United States History Semester 2

Why did Nazi Germany build concentration camps in Poland?

Answer
A
to turn other governments against Jewish people
B
to show how powerful Nazi Germany was
C
to provide free labor for German businesses
D
to carry out the genocide of Jews more quickly and efficiently.

Explanation

Nazi Germany built major killing centers in occupied Poland to carry out the Holocaust on a massive scale. Their location and design enabled the Nazis to deport Jews from across Europe and murder them rapidly and systematically. These camps were not primarily built to provide labor or to make a public display of German power; the best choice is “to carry out the genocide of Jews more quickly and efficiently.”
