The correct phrase is "comme ci, comme ça" and is pronounced roughly, "kumm see, kumm sah". All it means is "Like this, like that". It is a French way of saying "so-so".
This is a simple example of why it's important to read a lot and take some courses in foreign languages, even in today's electronic English-speaking world. D'accord? (French for "You agree?")
It has also the colloquial use of 'more or less'

International press were invited to view the first camps, they were praised by most world leaders.
____
Oh, perlease! Can you give the year and can you name these 'world leaders' who are said to have praised the concentrtion camps?
____
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.

The initial purpose was to terrorize people who defied the Nazi regime.
________
It was a part of the "Final Solution" to the Jewish "problem". Jews were taken there from all over Europe in crowded cattle trucks. Those who survived the journey were split into two groups, those to be immediately killed and those who could temporarily be useful as slave labor. Most new arrivals were stripped and herded into "shower" buildings where they were sealed in and Zyklon B was dropped in through holes in the roof. This killed them and their bodies were disposed of in purpose built crematoria which sometimes operated day and night.
___
The function of Auschwitz changed ... When it was first established in May 1940 it was primarily intended for Polish intellectuals and members of the Polish resistance. At that stage it was an exceptionally harsh forced labour and punishment camp. Later, some Soviet POWs were sent there, too. Auschwitz expanded to become a vast complex of camps (about 45 sub camps). Auschwitz II (Birkenau) opened in 1942, largely as an extermination camp for Jews.
Additional answer
It's not really true to say that Auschwitz was there to terrorise people, because if so then it would have been important for people to know of its existence and what would happen to you if you defied the Nazis. In fact, the Nazis tried to keep quiet about their concentration camps, because they knew that they might be the subject of war crimes trials.
_____
The additional answer certainly applies to Auschwitz and the other extermination camps and Grade III concentration camps (the harshest category of all). However, the existence of the 'ordinary' concentration camps was well known. In fact, Himmler launched Dachau amid a blaze of publicity at a press conference. The purpose of these early camps was to terrorize opponents. There was a quite well known saying in Nazi Germany: 'Lieber Gott, mach' mich stumm/ Dass ich nicht nach Dachau kumm' (English: 'Dear God, make me mute, so that I won't go to Dachau').
It's a big mistake to think that all concentration camps were alike and served the same purposes.
