During the Holocaust, Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau were two of the biggest death camps in all of Poland. Jews from all over Europe were sent to these two camps. In this article are sections about before Auschwitz became the camp, treatment, gas chambers, and the aftermath of the Holocaust.

What is a concentration camp to you? Most likely you would say a horrible place where they followed Jews. To the many Jewish people who had nowhere to go, this was more or less a place to stay and not a place to die. So in other words to the many people that were being shipped to these camps, they almost had no choice. If you had no food water or shelter, most likely you would turn to the first person to help you, and the first person they turned to wasn’t the right one at all. But how could someone like Hitler, a failure in school, become such a feared warlord? Well from research I learned that Hitler had a meeting to create a group that would eventually slaughter the Jews through thorough planning and most likely through the start of a war.

The Plaszow Concentration Camp was surrounded by an electrified barbed wire fence that had several different sections that divided the jews and the polish people. This camp was filled with tons of barracks. The barracks were used to hold all the people that were at the camp including factories, and warehouses. These households were also normally split up into the mens and womens camps. The largest number of people that were at the Plaszow Concentration Camp where 20,000 people. Oskar Schindler was a spy and a member of the Nazi Party. He attempted to protect his Jewish workers that were at this certain camp. He helped about 900 people, from abuse in Plaszow and from deportation to extermination camps. In all he saved about 1,200 Jews during

A concentration camp refers to a camp or closed area where people are detained under brutal conditions usually having no access to legal rights of arrest and imprisonment that would normally be accepted in a democracy. Concentration camps played a large part in the mass killing of Jews in Europe lead by Adolf Hitler. An example of a concentration camp is Dachau.

To begin, some may know what the Holocaust was, some may have only heard of it, but not really know what it was or where it took place. The Holocaust was multiple bureaucratic murders of over six million Jews by the Nazis and their collaborators. These mass murders took place in multiple concentration camps around Germany. The Auschwitz concentration camp complex was the leading of its kind established by the Nazi’s. It included three main camps, Auschwitz 1, Auschwitz 2, and Auschwitz 3. Auschwitz 1 was the camp where Polish prisoners were sent, this camp had 16 dilapidated one story structures, which was a previous Polish army barracks, this camp was the central camp. Auschwitz 2 was beginning to undergo construction in October of 1941 to

I chose the concentration camp Treblinka, it was established in November of 1941. With the support of the SS and Police Leader for District Warsaw in “Generalgouvernement”, SS and police authorities established a forced-labor camp for Jews (Treblinka). Later on it became Treblinka I. In addition to it being a labor camp, it also served as a “Labor Education Camp” for non-Jewish Poles, who the Germans believed to have violated labor discipline. Jewish and Polish prisoners were put into separate compounds of the camp, and deployed at forced labor. The killing center known as Treblinka II was completed in July of 1942, about a mile from the Treblinka I, and a rail spur was added that led from Treblinka I to Treblinka II. The Treblinka camp

In 1944, medical doctor Miklos Nyiszli, a Hungarian Jew and family man, arrived at the Auschwitz camp in Poland. In an effort to stay alive after being separated from his daughter and wife—though he feared his days would soon be counted—he volunteered to work as a pathologist under Nazi Dr. Josef Mengele. Working under the supervision of a Nazi superior meant one became Sonderkommando. As a Sonderkommando, one had the privilege to wear civilian clothes and receive better meals. Hence, working for Dr. Mengele, Dr. Nyiszli had certain privileges other Jewish prisoners did not obtain.

March 1933 was the concentration camp “Death camp” and established by the national socialist government Adolf Hitler put the jaws into the camp so that he would kill them.But by the end of WWll many of gypsies, homosexuals and Anti-Nazi civilians from.between 1933 and 1945, Nazi Germany and its allies established more than 40,000 camps and other incarceration sites. The perpetrators used these sites for a range of purposes, including forced labor, detention of people thought to be enemies of the state, and mass murder. The total number of sites is based upon ongoing research in the perpetrators' own records.

Murder sadness and despair are some of the synonyms one thinks of when the camp Auschwitz is spoken about. Millions of screaming voices never to be silenced as each and every soul stays to haunt the terrible site. No matter who it was the Germans came and killed to further pursue the goal at task. If seen as a threat, then eventually people from that group would be killed too. Yet the thing everyone should get out of remembering the most horrific event in history is Never Forget. Auschwitz-Birkenau was built to fulfill Hitler’s goal of cleansing the Earth of non-perfect people.

During World War 2, the Nazi's created several concentration camps, but the one that was labeled one of the worst was Jasenovac. First of all, it was located in Croatia. Jasenovac was a complex of five smaller camps, Kapje, Brocia, Ciglana, Kozara, and Stara Gradiška, located 62 miles from the city of Zagreb. Furthermore, the camp was the largest in the area with a death count of 77,000-99,000 dead. The majority of those killed were Serbs. Many dies when the administration of Jasenovac blew up the camp at the end of the war to try and conceal their misdeeds and crimes.

The holocaust began in 1933 and lasted until the late 1940’s. The word ‘Holocaust’ comes from the greek words ‘holos’ which means whole, and ‘kaustos’ which means burned, and that is what typically happened during this time period to primarily Jews. Auschwitz-Birkenau was one of the most remembered, suicidal camp during the holocaust, especially throughout World War II. Many individuals had considered that Auschwitz was the worst concentration camp all across Europe. The number of victims that died viciously at Auschwitz specifically was estimated to be around 1-1.5 million in the camps existence. The reason why Auschwitz was considered the worst camp in the history of the holocaust is because of the lack of sanitation, how their individualism was lost, and their

Established in 1940, Bergen-Belsen was originally a prisoner-of-war camp. It was formerly named Stalag 311 until 1943 when the camp was converted into a concentration camp and renamed Bergen-Belsen. Bergen-Belsen was divided into eight different sub-camps: a special camp (Sonderlager), neutral's camp (Nuetralenlager), a tent camp (Zeltlager), small women’s camp (Kleines Fravenlager), large women’s camp (Grosses Fravenlager), star camp (Sternlager), a Hungarian camp (Ungarnlager), and a recuperation camp (Ernolungslager).
