Hitlers ideology was to wipe off the face of the earth most of eastern europe--thats why almost all of the concentration camps were in eastern euprope and mostly in poland...

Lebensraum as the nazi concept-- happened because anything east of germany was considered so low and less than that the germans were trying to not only reinvent history but also reinvent the populations of europe...there were no death camps west of poland, there were internment camps but the death camps were solely reserved for areas east of germany...

NJFemmie is right that most people dont realize that the intellectuals in poland were the first to be exterminated and interned in death camps that they had to build themselves...the population of poland was decimated and god forbid if you were an intellectual...you wouldve been the first to be targeted...

a great fictional work by William Styron deals with this in his book" Sophies Choice, the movie was good but the book was phenomenal

and Hitler had real power.....what i mean by that is that real power comes when you do not have to speak what it is you wish to happen because your underlings and toadies know exactly what you want to happen....he never had to mention concentration camps but they were built......I always think about that when i look at power as a concept in leadership....makes me shudder
