Camps, as in concentration?

[Pepi Plowman]

Yup.  The book my mother always wanted to write. 
Since she's dead, it's pretty hard to know what really
happened and likely would end up being mostly made up.
 Which is okay, I guess, considering we are such
infinitessimally small specks in this universe--I
mean, what difference does it make, anyhow? But I'm
stupidly literal minded and would want the true story.
