FYI, this article was written in 2016.

I'm having a very hard time with those words "concentration camps".

I know I'm supposed to be horrified by these photos, but I can't help compare with them with Nazi concentration camps, and these seem like people confined, but otherwise perfectly comfortable and fine.

We need some other word than "concentration camps" - the difference between the two is too stark, and it's really bothering me.
