Auschwitz was one of the most infamous and largest concentration camp known during World War II. It was located in the southwestern part of Poland commanded by Rudolf Höss. Auschwitz was first opened on June 14, 1940, much later than most of the other camps. It was in Auschwitz that the lives of so many were taken by methods of the gas chamber, crematoriums, and even from starvation and disease. These methods took "several hundreds and sometimes more than a thousand" lives a day. The majority of the lives killed were those of Jews although Gypsies, Yugoslavs, Poles, and many others of different ethnic backgrounds as well. The things most known about Auschwitz are the process people went through when entering the camp and

Auschwitz was one of the most well-known concentration camps, a camp which held many prisoners who were often judged by their looks, race, and religion and not by their actions. In concentration camps people were forced to work and not given basic human rights. Auschwitz was by far the largest concentration camp during World War Two. It quickly gained a reputation for torture and harsh treatment of the prisoners. Auschwitz has a history that can give a person the chills from the horror of the mistreatment of prisoners.

These concentration camps basically arrested all of these Jews no matter there gender or age and tortured them and tested them to there full limit to see how far they can make it in the pain and them suffering. They never deserved this and they shouldn 't have experienced this situation all because Hitler thought that there were too many Jews in the world, just because Adolf Hitler was against Jews and that he thought that they had to die because they were taking up all the space in the world and mostly in Germany. These nazis are full of evilness and they shouldn 't be in control of these Jews like they have been and so the U.S decided to take it into their own hands to stop this madness finally because after they found out what Germany has been doing they knew that was completely wrong and cruel so they had to stop it and then it all ended even after a lot of

​A Concentration Camp was a place where they held Jews and other prisoners which they treated very harshly. There were twenty three major concentration camps all over the world. Such as Poland, Germany, Netherlands, and France. Also there were Extermination Camps which is where mass murders occurred during this time. Some of these camps were called Belzec, Chelmno, and Majdanek. Even though they were treated poorly, some of the prisoners survived.

One of the problems Asian American communities faced during World War 2 is concentrations camps. Since the United States went to war all Japanese, Germans, and Italians were seen as enemies so, they were put in camps because the U.S did not did not trust them. Also it was a way to have control over them having them in camps. Over five thousand Japanese were detained and were intern in camps in Mexico, Montana, South Dakota, Los Angeles, and the Bay Area. There were ten more relocations camps located in California, Arizona, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, and Arkansas.

Concentration camps were Nazis ran killing centers were Jewish people were forced to do hard labor, go into gas chambers and many other sufferings that eventually lead to death. Children in these camps were used for hard labor if they were old enough. Children starting at age 12 would work long hours while being dehydrated and possibly ill. Many disease, such as typhus, were easily spread throughout the camps and this caused many deaths. But gas chambers caused the most deaths. A gas chamber is this big room where everyone has to strip down to nothing and the Nazi leaders would put Zyklon B gas into the chambers. The Nazis told everyone that it was a shower. Once the gas was in the chambers, people began to die then eventually everyone did in only a few minutes. Jewish children were usually sent here when they first got to the camps. Children were also used for science experiments. Nazis would test medicines on the children and many other scientific experiments. A quote states “When Auschwitz was liberated in 1945, only 451 children were found among the 9,000 survivors.” Most of the children died at the camps. The Nazis found them to be

Just imagine if yourself, friends or family were sent away to a concentration camp. How would that make you feel? I would feel sad and scared for my family or for myself. It’s an awful thing to think about. Concentration camps were meant to starve and work prisoners to their death. In concentration camps, many prisoners were tortured and soon thereafter, died. There were many concentration camps and a lot of horrible things happened. Such as the number of people dying, and poor treatment of prisoners. Adolf Hitler made this all happen.

Camps now a days are fun for children when they are bored during the summer they can stay there for weeks make friends and learn all sorts of new stuff while their parents don’t have to deal with them for a while and are sure they are safe and having fun. The camps that are going to be learned about in this reading are the exact opposite, these camps only terrorize, safety is never an option, death is the only answer, and parents would never want their kids to go to through all of this torture and fear. Auschwitz known as the term for the largest camps during the Holocaust was a complex of camps from concentration, forced-labor to death camps. There were three main areas from the many camps including: Auschwitz I, Auschwitz II (Birkenau),

A major tragedy in World War II were Concentration camps. A concentration camp is inhumane imprisonment, where numerous individuals are kept or bound without trial. Detainees were kept in amazingly unforgiving conditions and with no rights. Inhumane imprisonments turned into a noteworthy route in which the Nazis forced their control. With psychological well-being, treatment of detainees and what concentration camps did being an extraordinary issue.

Concentration camps were places designed to torture individuals especially targeting those of Jewish decent. Naming just a couple camps, Auschwitz-Birkenau, Belzec, Buchenwald were some of the major known camps.

Concentration Camps were a big part of the holocaust .These Camps changed the life of many and for the future to come. The reality of these camps and the intense cruelty towards these people is far beyond unbelievable.

I chose WW2 concentration camps for my research about what happened in world war 2. I’ll start by talking about all the labor that people had to do in the war. Millions of people were caught and brought to concentration camps and they had to don a bunch of work. Millions of people were worked to the bone and a lot of them died during the war.If someone was slowing them down, the soldiers would shoot the person. They would also do things like hanging them, burn them and use them as target practice. People with a higher social status most the time got better jobs than the other prisoners like indoor jobs. While the other prisoners had jobs like carrying a bunch of heavy stuff while it’s 20 below zero.

Other know as Death camps or Extermination camps the Concentration camps have a horrible reputation. This was all for good reason. These camps housed people that were thought to be a danger to the German society. These prisoners were usually abused mentally and physically, they were held under extreme circumstances. The people in these camps were captured and detained without any trial or standard procedures applying to arrest and custody. The prisoners in these camps often had differing opinions on religions and practices. Other prisoners in the camps were prostitutes, homosexuals, alcoholics, drug addicts, the mentally ill, the blind, the deaf, convicts, democrats. For all of these ‘crimes’ they were sentenced death or a life of imprisonment.

Over 11 million innocent men, women, and children died during the Holocaust, all because of one man’s beliefs. During World War II and the Holocaust, Hitler’s main goal was to create the perfect race to control Europe and eventually the world. In order to accomplish this, he created concentration camps to isolate and torture individuals. There were 3 main types of camps; death or extermination camps, labor or work camps, and transit camp. Although these camps had different purposes, they all achieved 1 thing; killing millions of individuals and treating them inhumanely.

Auschwitz consisted of three main camps, which consisted of killing centers, and forced labor. Auschwitz initially served as a detention center, but soon it was turned into a human-killing machine. Auschwitz I was made in April of 1940, while Auschwitz II (Auschwitz-Birkenau) was made in October of 1941, then Auschwitz III (Auschwitz-Monowitz) was made in October of 1942. Upon arrival in Auschwitz, you were either sent to the left or to the right. If you did not meet the expectations of the SS, you were sent to the left. People sent to the left included mothers or fathers with children, the elderly, those too sick to work, or those who just did not meet

It was a systematic persecution and murder of millions of Jews, Gypsies and prisoners by the Nazi Regime. The Nazi’s believed that Germans were more ‘superior' and so Jews were deemed as ‘inferior’. The Holocaust began in 1933, when the first concentration camp was set up in Northwest of Munich. The purpose of Concentration camps was to mass murder Jews and other victim groups. The first camp was set up for political prisoners where they were forced to work, were treated brutally and some were executed. As the number of people in the camps increased, people had to be killed off faster, as there were thousands of new arrivals every morning. Therefore, the SS used gas chambers that let out carbon monoxide, to execute the prisoners who were not able to work. However, not every person was sent to the gas chamber. There were three types of camps. There was work camps where the people were forced to work, the experimentation camps, where the doctors experimented on people to help the German military survive in combat and extermination camps where people were gassed and killed. However, you were sent to a camp depending on your geographical location. Within each type of camps were different roles. For example the strongest and most fit looking Jews were selected to be Sonderkommandos. They were in charge of disposing the bodies after gassing and greeting them on arrival. Similarly, all three types of camps were run by the SS and SA. In 1942, a product called
