Nazi's Concentration Camps

Have you ever heard of the nasty, disgusting, and horrible conditions that jews had to suffer with in concentration camps during the Holocaust? Lice and fleas are a big part of conditions in concentration camps, another horrible condition in the camps are diseases and sanitation, lastly another awful condition in concentration camps is mass murder and starvation. Many people died in concentration camps during the Holocaust because of the environment the jews had to live in and deal with, and many families were split and torn apart because loved ones of theirs had died because of the horrible conditions in the camps.

In 1939, Hitler was unsure of what he was going to do with the Jews; the Nazis were tossing around options and ideas with the goal of removing Jews from the population. The German invasion into Poland, allowed for the first ghetto, regarded as a provisional measure to control and segregate Jews. Ghettos were enclosed, isolated urban areas designated for Jews. Living under strict regulations, with unthinkable living conditions, and crammed into small areas, the ghettos destroyed all hope of retaliating. In this paper, I will discuss what life would be like to be a Jew inside one of the 1,000 of ghettos within Poland and the Soviet Union. I will imagine myself a member of the Jewish council, describing the

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.

When you think of the concentration camps of the Holocaust you most likely think of Auschwitz. Auschwitz was the main center for the death of the Jews during the Holocaust. 1.1 million people died

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

The holocaust was a Genocide in which Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany and its collaborates killed about six million Jews. First they took them out of their homes and sent them to work camps and then after that to extermination camps. The concentration camps were designed to be a factory of death and no one was supposed to survive. Over all mostly Jews were sent there but politicians were also sent to the camps because they were seen as threats to Germany.

The Holocaust was a traumatic event that caused the deaths of over 6 million Jews. In today’s world, people don’t know what really happened inside the hell holes they called Concentration Camps. Jews, Gypsies, Gays, and elderly people were worked to death inside the detainment centers. To prevent a massive genocidal act like this from happening again, learning from past mistakes could prevent them from happening again.

Anti-semitism in Germany led by Adolf Hitler would back up a plan called the final solution, to exterminate all of the Jews in Europe. Out of the 100 million Jews aimed for extermination, 6 million of them were killed. On his path to German greatness, Jews became victim to inconceivable actions. First the Nuremberg Laws were passed which stripped Jews of their german citizenship, eliminating their opportunity to flee to other countries. After Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass, Hitler forcefully deported Jewish people into fenced confinements called ghettos. More Jews died here than in any extermination camp due to the harsh conditions and labor. Most people living in ghettos had no access to running water or a sewage system and overcrowding

"When I came to power, I did not want the concentration camps to become old age prisoners' homes, but instruments of terror"- Adolf Hitler. During the Holocaust, concentration camps killed more than six millions Jews. Concentration camps are in the past, but everyone should know the history and the devastation of the Holocaust and its camps

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.

The concept of conducting camps used to incarcerate, degrade and essentially murder millions of innocent people who were deemed ‘unsuitable’ would be barbaric, nonsensical and deranged to nearly any person. But what was truly intriguing was the fact that these camps were at a point in time supported and encouraged by many. The formation of these camps known as “Concentration Camps” were notorious for being one of the most unnerving events in not only WWII, but even world history. The treatment that citizens like Jews had to experience still influence people nearly 70 years later, after the end of World War II in 1945. The establishment that began this process was known as the Nazi Regime. Their ideas lead by Adolf Hitler brainwashed

Holocaust survivors give great insight to the realities of what the life was like within the gates of the Nazi concentration and death camps. Not to say that the research of historians, writers, and professors does not provide pivotal information to the study of the Holocaust; but their research provides secondary sources and accounts. Primary sources for historic moments allows a reader to get into the mind and psyche of the writer who is sharing his or hers experiences. The ability to become one with their most inner thoughts of fear, sadness, despair, happiness, joy, etc. makes a reader feel as if they are going through these moments alongside them. For survivors of the Holocaust, concentration camps, death camps, and World War II; such a connection is created with their listeners, viewers and readers by way of these primary sources. With father time working against them, the chances to speak with or listen to these individuals in person are quickly and sadly coming to an end. Which leaves society to use the literature of these surviving people to truly understand what life was like for them during the reign of terror caused by Adolf Hitler and his Nazi regime. Primo Levi’s, Survival in Auschwitz, offers just that connected and emotion to current and future generated as he illustrates what life was like for Jewish people during the Holocaust and World War II while surviving in concentration camps. Primo is a survivor of one of the most infamous Nazi concentration camps

Prisoner of War camps and concentration camps during the second world war were brutal, extreme, and deadly. Many POW soldiers, Jews, Gypsies, and more died within these camps of many causes. Sometimes as I’m learning about World War II, I wonder whether the Japanese prison camps were better, worse, or just as bad as Nazi concentration camps and why did Germans treat Americans better than the Japanese did? I chose this topic, because not many people look into the Japanese war camps as much as they did with the Nazi concentration camps. I thought about what happened in those camps that differed from German concentration camps and which was worse. That’s why I chose this topic to learn about.

World War II was a terrible time for everyone. Adolf Hitler, from Germany, gathered his warriors and started terrorizing the rest of the world. There were two sides in the war; the Axis powers and the Allies. The three main Axis powers were Germany, Italy, and Japan while the three main Allies were the U.S., Britain, and France. People were being tortured a lot during this war. One of the worst punishments was the extermination camps.

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.
