This is remarkable: yesterday morning, more than 140 renowned professors w/ a focus on Holocaust and genocide studies published an open letter in @nybooks agreeing with Congresswoman @AOC calling detention centers "concentration camps". It's now at 375: nybooks.com/daily/2019/07/… 
The updated list of the 375 scholars (and growing) of the Holocaust and genocide studies agreeing w/ the Congresswoman can be found here: docs.google.com/document/d/1Gn…
This list has been described by one scholar as "a literal who's who of Holocaust and genocide studies" and said they were proud to be a signatory.
It's worth noting that Holocaust and genocide studies can be folded into other fields rather than standalone programs--not an uncommon thing--but there are literally 71 professors on this list with "Holocaust" in their formal title, many of them department chairs. Incredible.
