The existence of the Nazi concentration camps was well known, both in Germany and abroad. In fact, the first permanent Nazi concentration camp - Dachau, opened on 22 March 1933 - was launched at a press conference. Exact details of what went on in these camps was 'hush-hush' but enough information leaked out to deter would-be opponent of the regime. There was a saying in Nazi Germany, 'Lieber Gott, mach' mich stumm/Dass ich nicht nach Dachau kumm' (English: 'Dear God, make me mute [=unable to talk] so that I do not go to Dachau'.

Reports and even pamphlets on the concentration appeared abroad. One of the first was by Hans Beimler, who escaped on 8 May 1933 (yes 1933). His pamphlet appeared in August 1933, and I have a copy of the English version, which appeared later that year.

These printed reports may have had less impact than film or TV.

Who invented concentration camp?

The term Concentration camp was first used by the British in the Boer wars. this was very different form the concentration camps used in Nazi Germany. they were not death camps but camps in which the family of Boer rebels were imprisoned so that they could not aid the rebels. However concentration camps have been used before this (only they were not called concentration camps) they were used by the Spanish in the 1860's even American soldiers used similar camps on Cherokee and other native Americans in the 1830's so this type of military tactic has been around for a long time, but the term is British. Evidently, there are no real differences, but rather there are similarities between the English and the German concentration camps.
