The German one isn’t even true either. The first camp built on (back then) Polish grounds was Auschwitz in 1940. But there were already 62 camps built before that.
Not to mention all the ghettos which were functionally the same as concentration camps. They just didn’t have the mass-murder assembly line that made them death camps like Auschwitz. Still, thousands of people died from exposure, starvation, disease, or straight-up murdered by the SS. The first Jewish quarters where they were walled into poor conditions opened in 1939. Göring first suggested the idea in 1938.
