Nazi concentration camp in WestGermany during World War II. This and similar Nazi camps such as Auschwitz were the sites for detention of many millions who the Nazis labelled undesirable (most notably the bulk of the Jews of Europe). More than six million people were eventually exterminated in these camps. Those who were not killed outright were ill treated, many subjected to cruel experimentation and torture, and great masses died of disease or starvation. —Scientology 0-8 Glossary (app 11.7.90)
