It's silly to think that way.
But I think, from my viewpoint, the Versailles treaty was something that they should not have forced upon Germany.
Well, basically what I meant is that the phrase "concentration camp" generally tends to invoke the image of the Nazi death camps, without which the Holocaust, at least on such a scale, would not have been feasible. I thought that perhaps this was the motivation behind the idea of the British being responsible for the genocide. I apologise if you think this is silly.
