At least one school of thought dates them to Nazi Germany in WWII where actual extermination camps existed however the Boer War is an alternative starting point where the term itself originated. Lord Kitchner certainly never intended them to fall into the horrible state of filth, starvation and depravity that the decendants of those times insist existed. It is true that death was rampant and conditions were deplorable but the British did not put ground glass in the mealies. While very early civilized societies may have used this practice that we either don't know about or at least do not acknowledge, the first known and established historical concentration camp was called Oklahoma in the United States of America. A place where Native Americans were isolated simply because of their ethnicity. It was a ghetto of the first order, guarded, exploited and de-humanized. The blame for this problem may be very ancient but Historically the concentration camp's birthplace is Oklahoma. but idk what im talkin about becuz i havent even wrote done da actuall answa yett
The early Nazi concentration camps were already in existence when World War 2 began. Dachau, the first Nazi concentration camp, opened on 22 March 1933. In other words the concentration camps were not some World War 2 innovation.
Dachau was the first established concentration camp. It was in a town of the same name (Dachau), just outside of Munich, Germany. Heinrich Himmler announced it's creation in 1933, shortly after Adolf Hitler had become Chancellor of Germany.
It is hard to say, presumably you want to know which concentration camp was the first to accept Jews and presumable you want to exclude transit camps, please clarify.
dachau in bavaria germany opened 1933 i know I was there at the end 1945

What was different between the extermination camps and the concentration camps?
Technically all camps were within the concentration camp system, there were labour camps, transit camps and extermination camps. Concentration camps were generally intended for civillians, initially just for criminals, but gradually more types were included. Extermination camps were established about seven and a half years after the first concentration camps. They were much smaller than the average concentration camps (Auschwitz is an exception as it was both), as they only held enough inmates that were needed to opperate the gas chambers/vans and the cramatoria.
