How Did The Camp Auschwitz Affect The People's Families

The camp Auschwitz was not like any other camp. It was mostly ruled by the Nazis. Everywhere you looked you had death. The machines had to kill over a hundred lives just during the short amount of time the camp had lasted

Auschwitz was one of the largest and first concentration camp during WW2 and next to Auschwitz were two other death camps that were named Auschwitz ll and lll. At Auschwitz, there was a total of 8 gas chambers and 4 of them can hold up to 2,000 prisoners (Mostly Jews) at a time. There were 11 million people murdered in the Holocaust and it estimated that 6 million Jews were killed and one in six was killed at Auschwitz.

Of all of the death camps built by the Nazis during World War II, none was larger or more destructive than the terrifying Auschwitz camp. Auschwitz was built by the Nazis in 1940, in Oswiecim, Poland, and was composed of three main parts. Auschwitz I was built in June 1940 and was intended to hold and kill Polish political prisoners. Auschwitz II-Birkenau, which opened October 1941, was larger and could contain over 100,000 inmates. Auschwitz III-Monowitz provided slave labor for a plant close by. In addition, there were many sub-camps. The most important camp at Auschwitz designed for the extermination of many people was Birkenau; numerous gas chambers and crematoria were established there, mainly to murder and incinerate Jews as

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.

Second, the Holocaust affected people’s daily lives. It especially affected the Germans’ work. Before the Holocaust, many Germans were unemployed because of the great depression that had just ended. These unemployed Germans went to work for the Nazi army. They needed provisions, and the army could provide them. The Jews were also not allowed to own businesses, so the Germans swooped in and took over the businesses that had no one to run

The Holocaust was a systematic murder of six million Jews during the war. Auschwitz was the largest death camp in the Holocaust. The camp was opened in 1940 as a prison, the camp was opened for Polish criminals and Prisoners of War. The Holocaust was a terrible tragedy; there were twelve million people murdered all together in the Holocaust, but at the notorious camp called Auschwitz two million people were murdered

The Holocaust nearly made the Jewish population and religion disappear from the face of the Earth. From January 30, 1933 to May 8, 1945; Adolf Hitler, German politician and leader of the Nazi party, ran the Holocaust all over Germany and Eastern Europe. Prisoners and victims of the Holocaust include: the majority of the Jewish population, German Communists, Socialists, Social Democrats, Roma (Gypsies), Jehovah’s Witnesses, homosexuals, and people accused of socially deviant or socially unacceptable behavior. They were sent to many different areas that had different purposes. The most used places they were sent to are called concentration camps. Once they entered the concentration camps, there was no escaping; those people officially became prisoners. There were 23 main concentration camps and around 900 sub camps. Concentration camps tricked the Jewish people into coming into them by offering them a better life on the welcoming signs outside. Some of the main camps had many different inhumane uses. All of the camps are notorious for their cruel and evil ways of everything that they did to prisoners, such as the genocide the Holocaust caused (Concentration Camps, Killing Methods, Jewish Population).

     Concentration Camps were a big part of the Holocaust. My first topic is the concentration camp Dachau. Then I will talk about another concentration camp called Bergen-Belsen. After that, I will tell you about the concentration camp Treblinka. Finally, the last concentration I will talk about is Auschwitz-Birkenau. Describing these camps will inform you that concentration camps were a huge part of the Holocaust.

The Holocaust was an awful time in world history: the concentration camps played a big role in this awful unnecessary experience.

Imagine traveling to an unknown location, with 100 other human beings in an overcrowded train car, without an food or drink, for days. This is what Holocaust prisoners faced every time they were transported to a new concentration camp. One of the worst being Auschwitz. Unlike most concentration camps, Auschwitz was made up of about 40 other wicked facilities. Also, the camp is known for having the highest death count compared to any other concentration camp. Auschwitz was the most brutal concentration camp in Europe during the Holocaust.

The Holocaust was a horrifing event where many innocent humans were hopelesslt slaughtered in concentration camps or just shot. That's why we study about the Holocaust, so it doesn't happen again. It started with Hitler. Hitler was a solider in the first World War and was injuredmultiple times in combat. When Germany lost the war, Hitler was enraged because he put himself in the face of danger and was injured for his country and they lost. This event combined with some childhood events was the start of Hitler's rein. It started with Hitler trying to start a rebellion, to start what he called a Thousand-Year Reich and he wanted revenge on those who put Germany down. His coup d'etat failed and he was arrested. In jail he wrote Mein Kampf

At first this camp was just a camp for building because it was only used for construction. Later this camp kept increasing emphasis on the use of concentration camp led by the prisoners in armaments production led to the expansion of the Gross Rosen camp. This camp kept increasing which meant trouble. In January 1945 this camp held 76,728 prisoners. Nearly 26,000 were women and were Jews. This camp held the largest amount of female prisoners than any other concentration camp.

Auschwitz started out as a prison for those who were seen as ~'undesirable~' or as enemies. It then became the embodiment of Nazi cruelty and barbarism. Men, women, and children perished while others watched in delight, horror, or apathy. Auschwitz is a reminder of the destruction in prejudice and intolerance. Primo Levi best summarized the value of studying about such a horrible event in human history when he wrote, ~'Those who deny Auschwitz would be ready to remake

Auschwitz- Birkenau was the most horrific concentration camps in World War II, it was where the largest number of European Jews were killed in WWII during the Holocaust. Auschwitz was first constructed for Polish political prisoners, who began to arrive in May 1940. The first extermination of prisoners took place in September 1941, and Auschwitz II–Birkenau went on to become a major site to carry out, the Final Solution.

Between five and six million Jews ,out of a Jewish population of nine million living in Europe ,were killed during the Holocaust.That's why visiting a concentration camp was so important for me. I got to experience how awful the camps were and how the people were treated there. Seeing the camps affects my daily life and how I treat people. The holocaust killed and injured so many people. So just seeing the camps and how people were treated there will forever change how I feel about the holocaust.
