re: #586 000G
AFAIK, in academic jargon, “death camp” and “extermination camp” are synonymous.
But yeah, I acknowledge it is difficult to come up with a workable terminology because it will have to put an explanatory system over the official system.
I just can’t bring myself to say that this or that camp wasn’t a “death” camp. They were. Maybe that wasn’t their primary function and the death tolls do not compare to extermination camps, but they were still enormous enough.
