The correct answer is Linguistic intergroup bias

This is a form of bias in which you reinforce and maintain a stereotype. The German group of civilians would not be able to accept that those people in the camp were innocent civilians and understood that they must have been criminals or done something bad to get such punishment. They couldn't comprehend that such bad things can happen to someone innocent.
