What is a concentration camp? What are the distinguishing features of these spaces? Where did they come from?
In this episode, I talk with Andrea Pitzer about the long, global history of the concentration camp and its evolution over time. We talk about what the definition is, what qualifies something as a concentration camp, and how different societies have learned from each other in their various iterations of "the camp."

Andrea Pitzer (andreapitzer.com) is a journalist and author.
