Auschwitz Concentration Camp Research Paper

The Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp could be both a good, and bad place to be. The camp had mainly held Jewish people, and other political prisoners. Many prisoners would come from other camps, but few would go, alive that is.

In the beginning the concentration camps they were not even planned, to be mainly for Jews, in the beginning they had started with criminals and political prisoners. Later on Adolf Hitler wanted to have a “better” future, so who ever interfered in his plan was a threat so he had sent them to jail. People who

As the Russian Army was advancing westwards of Germany, they have reached the Buna Concentration Camp in Weimar, Germany and liberated over 1000’s of Jews. The Russian Army arrived at the Concentration Camp, Yesterday, January 27th approximately at 10:00 a.m. First, the Americans conducted an air raid 8 days ago, then the Russians came in and liberated the

Lublin was just a quiet city in Poland, that is, until Adolf Hitler came to power. Once Hitler was named Chancellor of Germany no one was going to stop him. So he devised a plan called "the Final Solution." It was created because he believed people like Jews, Gypsies, Homosexuals, etc. were the scum of the Earth. So Adolf built concentration camps to put those people in. Each camp had a purpose, some for labor, others for transit, extermination, or a combination of any of those three. Those types of camps lead to the start of an excruciating genocide, which lead to the death of over 6 millions people. People such as Anne Frank and tons of others. Hitler then ordered for a camp to be built in Lublin,

Yonekazu Satoda was sent to the Jerome Relocation Center after the attack on Pearl Harbor when he was 22. The majority of the 120,000 detained Japanese-Americans were American citizens. He wrote in a diary while he was there and was showcased at Yale. The Yale exhibit came up around a time when some politicians said we should send current Syrian refugees to ‘detention camps.’ The victims of the detention mention injustices in the government’s treatment of them, but Satoda he says that he only remembers the good times he had with his friends there.

In around the 1940’s Adolf Hitler began running the camps we know today concentration camps that were only for Jewish people. When camps were created, they were not meant to kill anyone. They were made as detention centers for political prisoners.But if you go into the years mainly you would see teenagers doing all the work. Why teenagers you ask well because they were not too young to know what’s going on and they are not to old to do any labor.

On October 8, 1941 Adolf Hitler opened the Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp. Hitler's main goal was to exterminate every Jew, artist, educator, Gypsy, communist, homosexual, mentally and physically handicapped person, and everyone else that is seen as not good enough for Nazi Germany. There were many other concentration camps during the Holocaust, but the Auschwitz-Birkenau was the harshest one of all. Inside Auschwitz-Birkenau there were different sections that were used for different things. One section was used for labor, another used as gas chambers, and another used as a crematory.

When the public learned of the atrocities committed at Auschwitz-Birkenau and other extermination camps, journalists flocked to uncover the stories of those who survived, escaped, and the hundreds of thousands who were lost. However, prior to the allied victory in Europe not much was known about these camps except for the testimonies of the few who managed to escape. These stories were shared with the public as propaganda to muster up support for the allied forces as they made their final advances across Europe in the later years of the war.

Throughout our country’s history, there have been very few generations that have been alive during a time in which our country is not at war. One of the most common wars the United States was a part of was World War II. This war was fought from 1939 until 1945, regarding the acts of certain countries such as Germany, Italy, and Japan. These countries were violating human rights by placing innocent individuals, that they considered to be weak, into concentration camps. Humans of today’s society should be required to learn about the conditions of concentration camps, the treatment towards the prisoners in concentration camps, and the aftermath of concentration camps, to prevent the history from repeating itself.

Every action, every goal, every process, and every marathon all start with the initial first step. The beginning to any long journey is fundamental to laying the groundwork for what is to come. Not only does the first piece mold the integrity and face of the whole system, but without the first step, the campaign would have no where to begin. During the early 1930s, a new era of war and genocide would be born when the National Socialist German Workers Party, otherwise known as the Nazis, came into power under Adolf Hitler. This time period would be marked by the mass extermination of Jews and other political enemies of the Nazis, in an overall effort to create the perfect race. Under the Nazi reign of terror, concentration camps and death camps

Dachau was the first concentration camp ever built by the Nazis. It was built on March 30, 1933, 10 miles away from Munich. In the beginning of the The Third Reich, Dachau was built to hold the political prisoners. As the years went by there were Jews, and later on there were more people brought in from different countries and races. When Dachau built new buildings it could have fit 5,000 prisoners. By 1938 Dachau was finished, it had 32 barracks and was able to fit in 6,000 prisoners. There was seven watch towers around the camp, along with electrical fences. Later in 1942 Dachau built gas chambers.

“We suffered from thirst and cold, at every stop we clamored for water…the hours of darkness were nightmares without end.” Primo Levi, a survivor of the Third Reich order to exterminate all those who are deemed unfit to live in Nazi Germany, took a stance. A stronger take on Darwinism, the Holocaust was the name for the genocide of Semitic people such as Primo Levi. He described his time in Auschwitz as “a nightmare without end” which can mean nothing good for the Jewish people who inhabit Germany. Auschwitz was just one of the mass extermination camps Hitler and his SS friend, Heinrich Himmler, oversaw. When the war is over, Auschwitz was responsible for taking the most lives during World War II. Auschwitz-Birkenau is the personification of

'm going to analyze a documentary related to the Nazi concentration camps. I picked this topic because on the last months there has been persecution of Syrians. Many people believe that this situation can turn to a similar event as the Nazis against the Jewish. The documentary talks about how many Jews lived in the ghetto and it was a bad experience; however, no one predicted how terrify was their life when they leave the ghetto. From the ghetto, people were loaded into boxcars filled so tightly that no one can move. Those cars took all the people to concentration camps. Most of times the trip was long and they were not provided with any water, food, bathrooms or fresh air until they reach the final destination. Between 1933 to 1945, the Nazis

Hitler’s “Final Solution” led to the demise of millions, and through our presentation, we reflect on a time of darkness. Death Camps or, “Extermination Camps” such as Auschwitz were meant for the indiscriminate and deliberate killing of millions of Jews, Soviets, Gypsies and disabled people. In the beginning, Auschwitz was a labor camp in order to speed the expansion of the camp, until expansion ended in 1943 and Auschwitz became a Death Camp. Auschwitz I, Auschwitz-Birkenau, and Auschwitz-Monowitz opened one after the other in 1941-3. All parts of Auschwitz killed people by means of gas chambers, shootings, medical experiments. Medical experiments included removal of organs and extremities, poisoning among other things.

Gas chambers took a big part in Nazi’s killing their victims. There could be up to 100 people at a time in the gas chamber. Zyklon-B, a poisonous cyanide, was used to release through vents of the gas chamber. After about and hour, everyone is dead, leaving nothing but their statues like bodies, urine, and feces. This slow process took the lives of over 10K people.
