Concentration camps and labor camps are both types of detention facilities, but they serve different purposes. Concentration camps are primarily used for the internment of specific groups of people based on their ethnicity, religion, or political beliefs, with the goal of persecution and extermination. Labor camps, on the other hand, are intended for forced labor and often used for economic exploitation, with detainees being forced to work under harsh conditions for the benefit of the detaining authority. While both types of camps involve human rights abuses, the key distinction lies in their primary objectives: persecution in concentration camps and forced labor in labor camps.
