The concentration camp system expanded rapidly after Hitler came to power in 1933. Originally used to detain political opponents, the camps grew in number and function over time. By 1939, there were six main camps across Germany and Austria, incarcerating thousands. During World War 2, the camp system further expanded across occupied Europe, with new camps used for forced labor and mass killings. Concentration camps increasingly served the Nazi war machine through economic exploitation of prisoners.
