Comparison Of Auschwitz, Buchenwald And Dachau

There has been many stories on how cruel the victims of the Holocaust were treated, especially in the concentration camps. The Auschwitz concentration camps, out of many other camps is where this all occurred.The victims were abused and put through forced labor, it was physically and mentally hard for them to live in the camps knowing in the matter of days they will die. The prisoners in the camps were forced to work, the sick and disabled prisoners were killed as they were seen as “useless” since they were not capable of working. The labor consisted of digging ditches, leveling the ground, laying roads, and constructing new blocks and buildings for a tough 11-14 hours a day. During the tiring and inevitable hours of working, the prisoners had small rations of food.The meals were

Auschwitz, Buchenwald, and Treblinka are just a few of the names that evoke nightmares of the Holocaust. The death and suffering at concentration camps like these were greater than any before endured. Elie Wiesel had been one of the most devout Jewish children prior to the start of the Holocaust. However, the Holocaust created a void in the souls of many of those that survived, one of which was Elie. During his experience in the concentration camps, Elie waited for God to intervene and save his people. When God did not intervene Elie began to doubt God and His mercy. He began to accuse God of cruelty against the Jewish people. After the Holocaust was over, Elie had to reevaluate the role of God in his life. He could be forgiving of God and

The people, who were sent to Auschwitz before the war, were mainly political prisoners. Hitler wanted to start the camps as a way to get rid of his “Jewish Problem.” Jewish and other people who were considered enemies of the state were sent to Auschwitz and many other camps to work in slave labor. This soon evolved into a death camp with gas chambers, ovens, and laboratories for human experiments. “In the concentration camps, we discovered this whole universe where everyone had his place.

<br>The Holocaust is the most horrifying crime against humanity of all times. "Hitler, in an attempt to establish the pure Aryan race, decided that all mentally ill, gypsies, non supporters of Nazism, and Jews were to be eliminated from the German population.He proceeded to reach his goal in a systematic scheme." One of his main methods of "doing away" with these "undesirables" was through the use of concentration camps. "In January 1941, in a meeting with his top officials, the 'final solution' was decided". The Jewish population was to be eliminated. In this paper I will discuss concentration camps with a detailed description of the worst one prior to World War II, Buchenwald.

To begin with, the first ever concentration camp out of many was Dachau, it opened March 20, 1933 (Holocaust Facts). The Nazis built six camps: Chelmo, Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka, Auschwitz, and lastly Majdanek (Holocaust Facts). Auschwitz was the largest concentration camp and extermination camp built. Extermination camps were meant for killing large groups of people quickly and smoothly (Holocaust Facts). Each one of the camps killed at least 60,000-80,000 people and much more (Extermination Camps).

A small minority of Jews were used as forced laborers prior to killing them. These Jews were transported to Operation Reinhard labor camps and to the Lublin/Majdanek concentration camp. This camp was established primarily as a concentration camp. However, it did also

Labor camps or also known as Forced Labor were for the Jews to be put under brutal condition. But even before the Holocaust started the Nazi already putted forced labor or also known as Human trafficking in this world generation right now onto Jews. But mostly only Jewish male only done Labor work as for some of the women were to be sent to death row for being weak. But towards the Nazi, Jews only way to survive is to

During the holocaust there were many concentration camps set up and these concentration camps were horrible, people suffered and died everyday. They were treated like animals and slowly started losing their humanity and hope of ever being free again. Concentration Camps were first established in Germany soon after Hitler was appointed, and between 1933 and 1945 Nazis and it allies had established over 40,000 concentration camps all over europe. By 1939 7 major concentration camps had been established

World War II was a disaster in which millions of people died. Within 1.2 and 1.6 million people died in Auschwitz (“Auschwitz.” History. Np). The Nazis made it clear that if anyone was a Jew they would be a “Jewish problem.” The “Jewish problem” meant that anyone would be killed for being a Jew. Hitler did not agree with Jewism (“KL Auschwitz-Birkenau.”). The Nazi government pursued the “Final Solution.” The “Final Solution” was to kill all six million Jews living. He said that Jews were not religious, but that they were a race (“Auschwitz.” History. A). Most of the concentration camps the Nazis made were located in Oswiecim, Poland.

During Hitler’s rule, millions of people were shipped around Germany to slave camps. Prisoners would work all day, get beaten, and only have meager amounts of food. In addition, the Nazis created a system called “Annihilation through work.” This meant that the prisoners were literally worked to death. (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum). Just like the experiments , some of the work was done just to humiliate the prisoners and to take away their dignity. Although this is true, most of the labor was done to promote and help the Nazi war effort. While the labor camps were terrible thing, the Nazi death camps were even

Along with this postcard one can also find handkerchiefs, children’s dolls and suitcases all of which were left by some such Bela Gondos, who survived the war due to Kastner’s actions. The halls filled with belongings in Auschwitz are innumerably larger as they hold the personal objects of those who perished. The micro­narratives, and traumas were very different across the entire Shoah, albeit the common themes of loss and despair seemed to loom everywhere

Lastly, work and death camps were used by Adolf Hitler and his Nazis to exterminate all the Jews. For example, Auschwitz, which was known as the Camp of Death, was recognized as the most efficient concentration camp by the Nazis. These Nazis had thousand of Jewish people working under forced labor under very heaving living conditions, and this was often pointless and humiliating. “Even before the war began, the Nazis imposed forced labor on Jewish civilians both inside and outside concentration camps” (United States Holocaust Encyclopedia 1). To add, some prisoners were subjected to work to death meaning that they had the potential to survive the final solution. In work and death camps, people worked for countless amounts of hours and many

Nazis had various concentration camps for Jews, where they had forced Jews for work. The conditions in the camp was horrifying. Prisoners would starve to death, overwork, die from diseases, and be killed if they weren’t fit for labor. Auschwitz is one of the famous camps. It is estimated that 6 million Jews have been killed

Many things happened during the actual events of WW2 including, but not limited to, the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, and the constructions of concentration camps. Concentration camps were prisons that the Germans used for most of their prisoners, including prisoners of war, Jews, Quakers, people with mental illnesses, and homosexuals.
