"I agree concentration camp doesn't mean Nazi death camp but she shouldn't have diluted the language of the holocaust " Makes no sense.
It makes perfect sense. People (rightly or wrongly) equate ‘concentration camp’ with the holocaust death camps - therefore damage done. That’s what matters, not the dictionary definition.

So correct that rather than doubling down on the incorrect association.

If you meant to say "The wording was unwise because a lot of people conflate those things and some of them will respond in a purely reactionary way rather than think about it.", that's worth debate although I'm not sure I agree. But you said "diluting the language of the holocaust" which puts you on the side of the petty, Anglo-centric nationalists who are the ones doing the diluting.
