During World War II, the Axis powers established prison camps that became notorious for human rights abuses, functioning beyond mere detention to systematic genocide.
Concentration camps such as Auschwitz were initially designed for political prisoners but evolved into sites for the execution of the 'Final Solution' against Jews and other targets.
Auschwitz, the largest Nazi concentration camp, witnessed the deaths of over a million individuals and has become a global symbol of the Holocaust and its associated cruelties.
In Asia and the Pacific, Imperial Japan's brutal POW camps subjected prisoners to forced labor and torturous conditions, reflecting widespread human rights violations during the war.
