Research Paper On Treblinka

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

There were six major concentration camps located in Poland. In Chlemo, a concentration and extermination camp 320,000 were killed in gas vans. Auschwitz consisted of three concentration camps. It was a concentration and extermination camp, where 1,200,000 were killed by gas chambers. In Belzek, 600,000 Jews were killed by gas. Sobibor had five gas chambers, and 250,000 were killed. In Treblinka, 700,000 Jews were killed by being gassed in bath houses.

     The names Treblinka, Auschwitz-Birkenau, Dachau, Chelmno, Sobibor, Belzek and Majdanek are indelibly stamped on history as poster children for death and inhumanity. The

Imagine yourself going back to 1939 in World War 2 to Majdanek, a terrifying Nazi concentration camp in Judlin, Germany.

21). Jews were moved to the concentration camps some time in January, 1933 (“Concentration Camps, 1933–1939” par. 3). During their stay Jews were forced to dig canals or ditches, build roads or railways, reclaim land, make airplanes, steel, munitions, and military clothing. Many Jews died, some by starvation or exhaustion, others were closed into busses that funneled its exhaust (which was Carbon Monoxide) back into the bus’s interior. Later they would be put into rooms that used pellets of Zyklon B (hydrogen cyanide) to create a deadly gas and suffocate them, but rarely ever did the Nazis shoot the Jews because they wanted to save all ammunition possible. Because of all this murder, bodies would pile up. First the bodies were buried in huge graves, then cremation was used, but soon the crematories filled up and the Nazis decided to burn the bodies in open pits (Meltzer 10-12). One of the camps was named Majdanek, and it was built in Lublin, Poland. Majdanek was one concentration camp with other forced labor camps considered as its sub camps (“Lublin/Majdanek Concentration Camp: Condition” par. 17). These words the United States Holocaust Museum said about Majdanek stated “There appear to have been three gas chambers at Majdanek; at least two were shower rooms reconfigured for use of Zyklon B gas. At least one of these two was used to kill human beings. Some sources refer to a third gas chamber, which reportedly used carbon monoxide gas as a means of

In the spring of 1942 Treblinka a mass execution facility was operational. The camp was carefully selected to obscure from the nearest city. It was located in North-Eastern region of the Generalgouvernement near Malkinia Gora Poland. The area was within a heavy woodland not exposing the countless murders that had taken place. The camp was built by German construction firms out of available resources from the wood. Primarily, the workers building the death camp were Jews brought in trucks from local neighborhoods. A track was later constructed for the arrivals of deportees and the shipping of the Jews belongings. The camp's first commander was Dr. Irmfried Eberl but was relieved of his commission by Christian Wirth after an inspection of Treblinka. A massive break in the extermination process causing chaos so Christian Wirth extended his

At these death camps they had gas chambers which could hold up to 2000 people at one time. When the cattle carts arrived filled with the Jews they would get told to go either left or right. If they were a young child or an elderly person or someone unfit to do heavy work they would be sent to the gas chambers. We don’t know the exact amount of people that went to the gas chambers as some people got straight off the train and into the gas

Eighteen million Europeans went through the Nazi concentration camps. Eleven million of them died, almost half of them at Auschwitz alone.1 Concentration camps are a revolting and embarrassing part of the world’s history. There is no doubt that concentration camps are a dark and depressing topic. Despite this, it is a subject that needs to be brought out into the open.

The concentration camps had a huge impact on the Holocaust because of how they changed the lives of every person, leaving a horrible memory for those that survived these horrific camps. Auschwitz was known as the most complex extermination camps which was split into three parts, Auschwitz I, Auschwitz II (Birkenau), and Auschwitz III (Monowitz). Auschwitz is known as one of the largest concentration camps including extermination and forced labor for the prisoners there. Auschwitz is located near Cracow (Krakow) Poland. The Buchenwald concentration camp is well known for being large just like Auschwitz but Buchenwald was mainly known for its location being in old German borders of 1937. SS officials originally opened Buchenwald for only male prisoners until late 1943. The Buchenwald concentration camp was located in the

At the Treblinka uprising, Jews got what weapons they could, and they set fire to the camp. About 200 found a way to escape. However, the Germans recaptured about half of them.​ Death was their fate. Sobibor prisoners killed eleven SS guards and police auxiliaries. They also set fire to the camp. About 300 prisoners escaped, but they had to go through barbed wire and run through the mine field surrounding the camp. 100 were recaptured and then killed. Other attempts were made, but a lot were unsuccessful. Nazis killed them as punishment and as a warning to others.​ About 50 of them survived the
