"We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant."

The first camps were established in March 1933 immediately after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany.
The concentration camp system arose in the following months due to the desire to suppress tens of thousands of Nazi opponents in Germany.
