Nazi Concentration Camp Style Crimes
One of the main causes of dead in the Nazi concentration camps was malnutrition and maltreatment.
In 2014, documents were smuggled out of Syria, proving that the Assad regime had turned prisons into actual concentration camps, killing opponents on an almost industrial scale in similar conditions.
The documents were named after the code name of the Syrian defector of the Assad regime who smuggled them out : the Caesar-files.
They contain pictures of at least 6786 victims who died in a 2 years time span between 2011 and 2013.
