As the son of a member of the Polish underground whose unit "Zoska" was acknowledged by Yad Vashem for saving 350 Jews during the 1944 Warsaw Uprising I would like to point out that referring to a German concentration camp in occupied Poland the way you did is insensitive to the families of the millions of ethnic Poles who were killed, forced into slave labor, tortured, taken away from their families, maimed, terrorized, burned, bludgeoned, turned into soap, starved, etc. during the brutal and inhuman occupation of Poland by Germany.
The camps were in German occupied Poland and were created by German Nazis in the name of "Deutschland, Deutschland uber alles" and "Lebensraum" for Germans!
If you MUST refer to Poland, Poles or Polish in association with these horrific places.
in which Poles also suffered purely because of their ethnic background then you must clearly identify the victimization of the Poles, which , of course, you did not, AND/OR clearly identify the ethnic identification of those who designed, created and ran them, namely Germans, which you also did not do. Otherwise, don't mention Poland at all.
FYI. The proper reference to the camps would be one of the following:
- Museum/Memorial of the former GERMAN camp in PRESENT DAY Poland.
- Museum/Memorial of the former GERMAN NAZI camp in PRESENT DAY Poland.
- GERMAN camp in occupied Poland.
- GERMAN Nazi camp in occupied Poland.
- GERMAN camp in Nazi occupied Poland.
- Nazi camp in GERMAN occupied Poland.
-GERMAN Nazi camp in German occupied Poland.

The Nazi Germans established the 'concentration camps' on occupied Polish soil. The camps were not POLISH as implied by the comment. Please correct the error.
