Yes, "interment camp" is a euphemism for "concentration camp", but to be fair at about the same time "concentration camp" become a euphemism for "death camp".

  > Yes, "interment camp" is a euphemism for "concentration camp", but to be fair at about the same time "concentration camp" become a euphemism for "death camp". And "concentration camp" is itself a euphemism for "prison camp". So its probably better if we strip out the euphemisms and refer to: 1. "Prison camps", and 2. "Death camps" (or, even more accurately, "Extermination camps") (Recognizing that the second is a subset of the first, not a disjoint category.) And avoid "concentration camps" and "internment camps" entirely.
