Concentration camps yes, but Death Camps with gas chambers and crematoria, not intended to hold people for any longer than it took to “exterminate” them, were new. Even slave-labor camps of the sort where inmates were starved and worked to death were frowned upon, not considered normal. That’s why the Nazi lied, and created false camp films for propaganda.

Agree, but it was just how normalized internment camps were (Hitler claimed he got inspired by US ideas of population control). Even though there weren’t executions, the conditions were so bad that at least 1800 out of 120 thousand people died.
