not true, and is a very common internet myth, the inspiration for Hitler was the US genocide of native Americans and the Armenian genocide.
the boer camps were internment camps similar to the ones in America for Japanese Americans during ww2, the reason the death toll was so high was because there was an epidemic at the time, and food convoys were being destroyed by boer terrorists, it got so bad that merchants refused to deliver food without basically a small army to help them.

it wasn't the use of concentration camps, it was the fact that American basically managed to wipe them out from such a large amount of land, and displaced them onto a few reserves.
