By the way, is the German abbreviation for it, KZ (pronounced

I've never heard of it. Seems a funny way to abbreviate
Konzentrationlager. I'd have expected KL.

KL was indeed the official abbreviation, but KZ was the one generally used.
Today, the abbreviation KL is almost unknown in Germany. The abbreviation
"KZ" is generally avoided today; sometimes it is used for "Kennzahl", but
normally people try to use something else.
