Literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

It is true that the British operated internment camps during the Boer War of 1899, but we didn't invent the concept. It seems our contribution in that area was to coin the name "concentration camp". Maybe that's what the person in the OP was alluding to?

I certainly don't think so. I don't think that internment camps are a concept that can be attributed to anyone.
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.

Except the concentration camps were not the same as the death camps
