Holocaust Concentration Camp

“Soviet soldiers were the first to liberate Concentration Camp prisoners in the final stages of the war”(“Liberation of Nazi camps”). Many people were lucky to survive to the horrible experience in the Concentration Camp during The Holocaust. In the Concentration Camps, Jews experienced nearly impossible work, many types of torture, and were the main source of deaths for the Jews during WWII until the day of liberation.

in Europe had harsher persecutions that led to murder. Over six million people were killed during this time. These deaths define two-thirds of European Jewry, and one-third of all world Jewry.

Eleven million people died during the Holocaust of these eleven million people 2.4 million died from medical experiments conducted by German forces. These experiments were conducted mainly for three reasons. The first of which was to help the Germans gain knowledge that would help them better understand things that would have been viewed as threats or weaknesses to their military (Holocaust Museum). For example the Germans knew little of hypothermia and the weather located on the eastern front, so freezing experiments were conducted at Auschwitz concentration camp where most of their medical experiments occurred (Remember ). The second reason the Germans did medical experiments was to further their knowledge on how to pharmaceutically

Auschwitz Birkenau was the largest death camp during the Holocaust. Auschwitz is located in a Poland city called Oswiecim. The Germans construction of Auschwitz Birkenau began in April 1940. 1.1 million people were sent to Auschwitz and 200,000 of those 1.1 million survived the Holocaust. The people who survived the Holocaust found a new life in modern day to day.

In only six years, two-thirds of an entire race, plus millions more, were shot, gassed, or starved to death. Anyone who was deemed “racially inferior or politically dangerous” was sent to one of many in the camps system. Among these groups were the physically or mentally handicapped, Jehovah’s Witnesses, homosexuals, Jews, Gypsies, Poles and Soviet prisoners of war, and Communists (Berenbaum par. 1-2). Millions of innocent people were sent to camps where they were killed or forced to work for the German cause until they died.

The Holocaust was the killing of Jews caused by the Nazis, a group led by Adolf Hitler (“Holocaust” par. 1). This horrible event took place between 1933-1945 (“Children” par. 1) mainly in Germany and Poland (Altman 5). In the Holocaust, Jewish men, women, children, and Nazis were the main people involved (Byers 11). The Holocaust was the persecution of 6 million Jews and millions of others forced to, live in ghettos, deported to camps, and systematically annihilated until the Allied forces liberated the remaining survivors.

What was the Holocaust concentration camps. The concentration camps were part of world war II. The first camp was Dachau and its purpose was to house political prisoners. The Holocaust is worse than World War I.

In early 1930’s one of the darkest times in history, a worldwide depression had hit Germany. Adolf Hitler conducted a slave raid throughout the Soviet Union during World War II.

While there were many death camps that opened during the Jewish Holocaust, none of them compare to the opening of Birkenau in 1941. Birkenau opened and before it was liberated “the camp killed about 1.3 million people” (“Auschwitz”). Birkenau was a factory of death. This place was a monstrosity for all of the prisoners. They slept in a bunk with two or three other people and a blanket per person. Once the prisoners were there, they learned that life would not be easy. Waking up at six o’clock and working 12-14 hour days with minimal food. “The soup was unappetizing, and newly arrived prisoners were often unable to eat it, Supper consisted of about 300 grams of black bread, served with about 25 grams of sausage, or margarine, or a tablespoon

What is genocide? Is what some people want to know. Genocide is the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation. It happens everywhere all around the world. In my opinion, I don 't agree with the acts of genocide. They were too harsh on those people who didn 't even deserve to be treated that way. The holocaust started in January 30, 1933. The president during the time was Adolf Hitler Chancellor of Germany. In march 20, 1933 an officers opened the Dachau concentration camp outside of Munich. The camp was help for people like jews to be tortured and it wasn 't any good thing about the concentration camp. The Dachau concentration camp was the first regular concentration camp established by the National Socialist government. This camp was located on the grounds of an abandoned munitions factory near the northeastern part of the town of Dachau. During the first year the camp held about 4,800 prisoners. In the early 1937 the SS was using prisoner labor and began construction of a large complex of buildings on the grounds of the original camp. The prisoners were forced to do the work starting with the destruction of the old munitions factory. It was under terrible conditions. The construction was completed in mid August 1938 and camp wasn 't changed until 1945. The number of Jewish prisoners at Dachau rose with the increased persecution of jews and on November 10 to 11, 1938 in the aftermath of Kristallnacht. There was

Concentration camps were filled with many people, and many that weren’t Jews. Concentration camps were meant to kill them by work or were to reform them. These camps were a terrible place to be because of the living conditions, the beatings, and the diseases that spread.

Have you ever experienced a bad event in history? Can you imagine being treated as if you were worthless? Back then during World War II, people suffered because of who they were as a person. Not only were they treated horribly in the physical state, but in their metal state as well.

Auschwitz was a German concentration camp which was run from the years 1940 to 1945. It was split into three large camps, Auschwitz I, Auschwitz II, and Auschwitz III. It also had over 50 subcamps.
