Literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

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

No, of course not, I hoped to convey that distinction through my choice of phrasing. Perhaps I could have chosen better.

That's cool, a lot of people though don't realise that there is a difference.

The Nazi's did have concentration camps, Dachau probably being the most famous and later mass executions were carried out there.

But they were originally set up for holding political prisoners.

Auschwitz and the like were built specifically as extermination factories.
