The Nazi Camp System

And now we progress to the extraordinary story of a ten year old Jewish boy writing poems in a concentration camp in Germany and the fraught relationship of the adult, now a well-established poet confronting his early poems, in the child’s hand-writing, and the tensions involved in this unique situation.

But first, as an introduction to the subject of Nazi concentration camps, we will view, in the next two steps, two historical videos. The first one, which is taken from Yad Vashem’s “Key Historical Concepts in Holocaust Education” video series, provides a brief overview of the Nazi Camp system and its development.
