True. The Nazi concentration camps were not constructed for Jews, but political dissidents. They were created to detain people that did not succumb to gleichschaltung, coordination or alignment with the Nazi agenda.

And iirc they reused them for Jews bcs of the gigantic cost of what ultimately led to the 'Final solution'.

But the primary goal was def people control & opposition subjugation - ie make people know what happens if you speak out against the regime.
