I think you brought Godwin's Law into the discussion unfairly. Sidra mentioned concentration camps among a number of other evils; she was playing the "Nazi" card.
And explain to me how most modern uses of the term "concentration camp" doesn't relate to WWII.
If I recall my history, the British were the first to develop concentration camps, during the Boer War. The Nazis are most (in)famous for them, but they didn't invent them, nor were they the last to use them.
