Well, During the NAZI regime of Germany, and then Greater Germany (from 1939-1945), the administration setup what were euphemistically refered to as work camps, or relocation camps, today we know them as concentration camps.
Aus

However, it is important to understand that concentration camps are NOT unique to the German regime of the NAZI's but are a chronic problem of modernity as a result of mass transportation, economic, political, environmental pressures in combination with the use of mass-media and usually military force.

The act of removing "undesirables" from lands deemed desirable is sometimes called genocide, when a particular ethnic people or religious group are targeted. The term genocide is specifically mentioned in the UN charter as something the UN is supposed to act to prevent or minimize. However, presently and very frequently, the United States, China, or other nations (including Israel) have moved to not use the term, for fear of having the UN act to prevent the "genocide". The more acceptable term is now considered "ethnic cleansing" or "purging", modern examples in the last 10-15 years include include Bosnia/Yugoslavia, Rwanda/Burundi, Liberia/Sierra Leone and currently in Darfur, Sudan.

Here are some notable relatively modern ethnic cleansings and the persons responsible. While Hitler and the NAZI's may win on style points , they clearly don't win on the numbers.

-- More on the German NAZI Experience --

During the NAZI regime, the "public" or "official" government position was that Jews primarily and others who were deemed "undesirable" should be treated fairly and sometimes this was considered "charitably", by "relocating" them to the newly conquered lands of Greater Germany.

Perversely, the removal of undesirables was sometimes "provoked" by paramilitary units sympathetic to the regime called the "Brown shirts" who would commit violence against Jews, Homosexuals etc, and then the government would have to "act" to protect the undesirables by moving them out.

Often times letters and correspondence was encouraged/compelled by the goverment immediately upon arrival to the camps to prisoners relatives stating how "wonderful" it was, and that family and friends should consider relocating as well. Shortly thereafter, prisoners were either, selected out for work-detail, sent to mass crematoria or shot en-masse

There were quite a few, in Germany and Poland. Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, Treblinka, Dachau, Sachsenhausen, Buchenwald , Flossenbürg , Mauthausen and Ravensbrück. Not all of these were used for extermination, some were just "Konzentrationslager" or concentration camps. Jews, Gypsies, Communists (suspected or real), homosexuals and many of the mentally ill were sent to these camps.

"Konzentrations-lager" - 'Concentration Camps'.
(An idea copied from the British during the Boer wars, when they removed the Boer farmers and their families and 'concentrated' them in certain areas. But, while there was loss of life from diseases and malnutrition, the British camps were not intended as 'Death Camps' the way the Nazi ones were.)

This list is far from complete. It is estimated that the Nazis established 15,000 camps in the occupied countries. There were several small camps which were created for limited in time operations against local population. Most of these camps were destroyed by the Nazis themselves, sometimes after two or three months of activity.

Trust me, the high volume death camps did not kill one by one, they used massed extermination high volume procedures. The Birkenau-Auswitz complex topped out at 26,000 deaths per day during the summer of 1944.
