Were there concentration camps here?
Hello!..
So there is this chimney looking structure..in an empty field..that I go past to visit my boyfriend. I live in Cambridge, Ohio..and this is out..past where I live..
Well, I was watching this thing about adolf hitler and the concentration camps..and when they gased the jew's..in the chambers.. the fumes would come up out of the top of the chimney looking structures.. the same chimney looking structure..looks EXACTLY..like the one I seen.
I've always wondered what it is.. and now it makes me feel sick o.o..but I'm not sure if it really is.. or not..but why would it be there..alone..with nothing there with it?
It's mysterious.
If you can't help it's okay..but still..XD Thanks!

No , it was probabaly just inspired by the way or how they use to make chimneys , no no death camps were associated in America , it was mostly just Europe so your fine :). I do agree though , it is really sick and itmakes me nauseaus thinking of what they would do!

No it was probably a old house the burned down and the chimney is still there.

no. there were no death camps in America. we had concentration camps, but those were in the california desert and just held Americans of Japanese descent. for the record, they didn't kill them, they just made sure these guys weren't going to, as they said back in the day, "Pull a Jap" on America.
If you were a Nazi building a death camp (death camps and concentration camps are quite different from one another, you are asking about a death camp), would you not use the best design known for your cremation equipment? chimneys look similar for this reason. I've been to the Death Camps in Europe, half of the horror about the damn things is how efficiently they were designed.
and trust me, if you ever go to a real death camp, you won't need a sign to tell you anything, you get this really deep vibe that bad shit went down there... its hard to explain.
but no, that is not a concentration camp in cambridge, ohio.

A lot of times, when old mills burn down or cave in or whatever, the chimneys remain standing. It's wicked expensive to take them down, especially if they're still solid. There's a few like that in my town from the Industrial Revolution and even older, and they're solid as anything.
More than likely, that's exactly what you're looking at. Chimneys can only be designed so many ways, and the similar appearance is likely coincidental :)
Searching "concentration camps in Ohio" on Google doesn't yield results that strike me as the type of camp we're talking about. I don't recall ever learning about anything of the sort in AP History, not in that part of the country anyway (In I believe California, many Japanese Americans were separated and forced to live in different communities) and I don't think they were treated quite as horrendously.

A chimney is a chimney, so they all tend to look similar. There were no concentration camps here where people were burned. We did have prison camps for POWs, but they did not include the atrocities of the concentration camps of the Nazi regime. There were interment camps for people of Japanese descent during WWII, citizens of our own country deprived of liberty and property simply because they were Japanese ethnically. Their treatment was unjust, but still didn't involve the atrocities of the Nazi concentration camps, or of the Japanese prison camps (the ones run by Japan, not the U.S. interment camps).
For some odd reason, it is not uncommon to find the ruins of a building where the chimney is left standing. That's all that remains of a brewery in New Ulm, Mn, for instance. Near where I live there is row of chimneys where there used to be, IIRC, a munitions plant; all the other structures are gone.
