Survivors of the Holocaust
Concentration camps had very little survivors, due to how hard the day to day life was on the concentration camps, and how the other countries such as the soviet union had concentration camps. Concentration camps were designed to kill people so I think it is very interesting to learn about how some people survived. The day to day life in concentration camps was extremely hard so I wondered what they actually did is very interesting. During my research I learned that other countries had concentration camps and that it's not a new idea. Concentration camps had very little survivors so I would like to learn about how some people survived. Some people survived by hiding (like Anne Frank), or they got lucky and survived

The living conditions in the camps were completely based on your nationality, so if you were Jewish you were treated horribly but if you were treated better like the P.O.Ws you got better assignments. Everyone was still treated horribly it was more based on was who was treated the best out of the worst. If you were Jewish you were stuck with the worst jobs and beaten by guards and sometimes even other prisoners. If you were a P.O.W you got supervisor jobs and more food. The conditions were totally based on nationality and what camp you were in. …show more content…
The jobs of the Jews were appalling they worked for 12 plus hours then went "home" (which wasn’t really home it was cramped dilapidated place with many people living their) sleep and try to get food. If you were something higher in the hierarchical chain you got good jobs like a supervisor and got more food. Most of the jobs were in factories making synthetic rubber or mining all day. That is what the prisoners in the camps did in their day to day life. -https://www.ushmm.org/outreach/en/article.php?ModuleId=10007732 Other countries had concentration camps and it isn't a new idea. The soviet union had labor camps that they called the gulags. What were the conditions in the camps? Why did they need the concentration camps? I didn’t know that other countries had concentration camps that is the reason that I wanted to write about it. Gulag is an acronym for Main Administration of Corrective Labor Camps (in German the acronym spells gulag). The gulags were used as work camps for Nazi P.O.Ws during the holocaust, but they were used before. The biggest camp was in the coldest part of Siberia with unsanitary conditions and are starved. The gulag camps were used to get work out of P.O.Ws and kill them in the process. That was what the Gulag camps were used
Eventually Jews and other ‘undesirables’ were sent to death camps, while others went to forced labour camps and used as slaves to produce materials for weapons in war, and a range of goods, such as shoes, clothes and good. These death camps

They were forced to receive identification numbers and new housing inside a small, dingy, and poor camp. They were also given vaccines, to protect them from diseases that they might encounter while in the camp. The living space inside the camps was very small, and most people were forced to live in small shacks or stables.
Have you ever wondered what the death camps were like in the holocaust? When all of the jews and enemies suffered at the camps. They starved, beating, worked to death, and killed. The holocaust was a awful time for jews and the enemies. Families were split apart and never seen again, men worked hard labor in the camps, mothers lost their children from deaths or just taking away.
The Holocaust was an event in history that set out to get rid of all the Jew’s. The Nazis did this by having concentration camps meant to work the Jew’s to extreme levels of exhaustion and made them go through other things that led to the deaths of some of the Jew’s. Countless concentration camps were used to kill off the Jew’s of any age and gender or to have them die of the daily activities that they did. There were many concentration camps, including well known ones, such as Auschwitz, which were a little different on the specific jobs that they had, but most of the concentration camps followed the same daily schedule. Their days would always start off early and end in the dark hours of the night. The daily life in the concentration camps
Their jobs depended on their nationality, how fit they were, and how loyal they were to the Nazi soldiers. “Within the camps, the Nazis established a hierarchical identification system. Prisoners with a higher social status within the camps were often rewarded with more desirable work assignments such as administrative positions indoors. Some, such as the kapos (work supervisors) or camp elders held the power of life and death over other prisoners” (Daily Life in Concentration Camps). If prisoners weren’t in that type of classification, they were given harsher and more demanding tasks. For those who were in such demanding assignments, they had a higher mortality rate. The higher the death rate, the happier the SS soldiers were for not having to kill them themselves and just have the other prisoners take care of the dead
Psychological Effects of the Holocaust on Its Survivors After the liberation of the World War II European death camps, many survivors suffered from psychological traumas, such as post traumatic stress disorder, which had various mental effects. PTSD is a reaction to a traumatic event where a person can see he is in danger, his life is being threatened, or other people die or are injured in circumstances that are out of that person’s control. The Holocaust was a very traumatic experience for millions of people. The memories of death and horror of those who lived in the death camps cause this experience to haunt survivors long after being freed from imprisonment.
The Gulags of the Soviet Union have been compared to the concentration camps of Nazi Germany, but in reality they were worse. The Gulags were isolated prison camps peppered across Siberia. Death, torture, and disease raged within their walls, while endless work went on outside. Gulag personnel were cruel and unfeeling, using terrible punishment methods and playing senseless games that cost prisoners their lives. Political enemies of the Bolshevik party made up a significant portion of the prisoner population, with most sent to the infamous camp system Kolyma. Liberation was painfully slow, but by 1960, all of the Gulags were gone.
One of the many important and most memorable incidents of World War Two would be the Holocaust. During the Holocaust, the Germans who were known as the Nazis, considered the Jews to be “enemy aliens”. As part of this, the Nazis thought that “Aryans” were a master race. Therefore, they decided to destroy the Jewish race, and created genocide. The Jews were put into unbearable torture at many concentration and death camps. In fact, 6 million Jews were killed in this incident; however, there were many victims who survived this anguish. One of the many survivors was Simon Wiesenthal, who survived the Nazi death camps and began his career as a Nazi hunter.

The Holocaust was the murder and persecution of approximately 6 million Jews and many others by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. The Nazis came to power in Germany in January of 1933. The Nazis thought that the “inferior” Jews were a threat to the “racially superior” German racial community. The death camps were operated from 1941 to 1945, and many people lost their lives or were forced to work in concentration camps during these years. The story leading up to the Holocaust, how the terrible event affected people’s lives, and how it came to and end are all topics that make this historic event worth learning about.
A very shocking moment in people’s life is when they are kids and they live during the holocaust. Children in the holocaust were beaten, tortured and killed in either a concentration camp or death camp. If they did survive
Before the Jews got moved into labor camps, they were told of the jobs they could not have and the certain things they could not do. They were even “banned from working as veterinarians” (“Anti-Jewish Laws” 15). Most of them got a different job than they had when they entered the camp. For example, if a Jew was a watchmaker and got put in the camp, they could make them be a shoe repair man instead (Boyne 126). If a person was sent to a camp and looked like they were unable to work, that person was sent to their death (“Forced Labor” 10). The people that were sent to their death the most were the elderly and the young children that were barely able to walk, the
Who survived the holocaust? What are their lives like today? What has been the government's response towards those who survived after World War II? Have the survivors kept their faith? How has the survivors next generation been affected? The survivors of the holocaust were deeply effected by the trauma they encountered. This unforgettable experience influenced their lives, those around them, and even their descendants.
