Answer 1

In 1933, the Nazis built concentration camps like Dachau to house political dissenters, but these camps later also imprisoned and murdered millions of Jewish people and other groups deemed undesirable by the Nazi regime.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1933, the Nazis initially built concentration camps to house political dissenters. The first of these camps, Dachau, was established shortly after Hitler became chancellor and was aimed at detaining those who opposed the Nazi regime. Over time, the scope of who was sent to concentration camps expanded to include Jewish people, Roma (gypsies), homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, and other minority groups deemed undesirable by the state. By 1945, the Nazis had established over 1000 such camps, some of which evolved into death camps where millions were murdered.

The persecution of Jewish people under Nazi rule began with laws like those enacted on April 7, 1933, which excluded them from public service and escalated to the Nuremberg Laws of 1935, leading to their eventual incarceration and murder in vast numbers. In addition to political prisoners, concentration camps later also housed a wide variety of groups that the Nazis considered enemies or inferior, subjected them to forced labor, and executed many. Sites like Auschwitz became synonymous with the horrors of the Holocaust, serving both as labor camps and as sites of mass extermination.

Answer 2

The correct answer is: "house political dissented".

When the nazi party arrived to power, the initial purpouse of concentration camps was to imprison those who stood against the new regime and force them to hard labor activities. Subsequently, during WWII, concentration camps became the instrument for undertaking the so-called Holocaust.

The Holocaust was the systematic murder commited by the German nazi party against the Jews and other human groups that they considered inferior to the 'supreme Aryan race', such as gypsies from Eastern Europe, homosexuals, disabled people, communists and Spanish republicans, etc. These groups had to be removed to prevent the contamination of the Aryans, according to the nazi ideology. This is why they deported members of the abovementioned human groups to concentration camps were they died undertaking hard labor duties or to extermination camps were they were massively killed in gas chambers.
