Best Answer

Dachau, the first concentration camp, opened on 22 March 1933 - less than two months after Hitler came to power.

In April 1933 small concentration camps sprang up in all kinds of places, but most these were later closed by mid 1934.

From 1937 additional camps were built, starting with Buchenwald.

Concentration Camps were not a German idea. They were first used in Cuba in the 1890's by the Spanish, this was one of the causes of the Spanish-American War.
