Sobibor
Sobibor was one of the three biggest Nazi death camps that killed millions of people. If the Nazi’s even suspected you were Jewish then they would send you away to work or to be executed. Sobibor had held many Jews in it. You will be shown the chronology, the daily life, and when it was built and destroyed.
The small village of Sobibor is 3 miles from Bug River and 5 miles Wlodawa. Germans
Constructed Sobibor in spring of 1942 as the second killing center within operation
Reinhard. It was wooded , swampy, and thinly populated. The camp covered
1,312 by 1,969 feet. It also included a 50 foot minefield around
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.
The Nazis believed that the Jews were an inferior race. From 1939-1945, World War II raged. During World War II, the Jews of Europe were treated terribly; many lived in segregation, were sent to brutal concentration camps, and were murdered. To begin, Elie Wiesel stated, “During the Nazi era, in thousands of towns and cities, men and women – young and old, from all walks of life – would eventually find themselves, from one day to the next, barricaded and condemned, simply because their community recalled an ancient covenant with God: the Jewish people” (Wiesel, 5). Regarding how Hitler felt about the Jews, Wiesel said, “He simply had in mind the gradual creation of Germany without Jews – nothing more, but nothing less.
Hunter:How would you feel if at the age of 9 you were sent to a Nazi concentration camp? Marion Blumenthal Lazan had this happen to her.
Ebensee was a concentration camp established by the SS to dig tunnels for weapons storage close to the town of Ebensee, Austria in 1943. It was a part of the Mauthausen network. Due to the inhumane living and working conditions, Ebensee is considered one of the worst Nazi concentration camps for death counts of its prisoners. The SS would use codename like Kalk, Kalksteinbergwek, Solvay, and Zement all relating to limestone or cement.

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.
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.
The Sobibor Death Camp was created for one purpose only and that was to execute as many Jews as hastily as possible. The camp was located outside of the village of Sobibor on the eastern side of Lublin, close to the railroads it operated from May 1942 to October 1943. The primary source of assassinations was by gas chambers which Jews were brought in by train and led into the chambers told they were taking baths to undergo disinfection to prevent the increase of diseases. Sobibor Death Camp was the smallest concentration camp during the Second World War and killed approximately 260,000 jews within its walls. On October 14 1943, around 300 Jewish prisons attacked against the SS and escaped the prison. Later the massacre sites were destroyed
Over 11 million innocent men, women, and children died during the Holocaust, all because of one man’s beliefs. During World War II and the Holocaust, Hitler’s main goal was to create the perfect race to control Europe and eventually the world. In order to accomplish this, he created concentration camps to isolate and torture individuals. There were 3 main types of camps; death or extermination camps, labor or work camps, and transit camp. Although these camps had different purposes, they all achieved 1 thing; killing millions of individuals and treating them inhumanely.
INTRO: The Auschwitz Concentration camp was the largest active camp run by the Nazis during World War II. Built in 1940, on the ground of former Polish towns and neighborhoods. The Nazis bulldozed the houses and built the camp. Most of the camp consisted of Slave labor and execution facilities. The camp had gas chambers, medical facilities, and a crematorium. The camp consisted of three sub camps: Auschwitz I, Auschwitz II, and Auschwitz III. It also had many minicamps that were used to hold extra prisoners. The Nazis committed atrocities at all their concentration camps, but Auschwitz was the worst. The Holocaust was one of the worst acts of murder and cruelty from one group of humans to another.
Contracts are used in many situations such as business and individual situations. But not all contracts are binding, even if they were willingly agreed by both the offeree and offerer. The promise outlined in the contract has to be legal and voluntary for it to be affective by law. Whilst both parties must accept a just understanding for a contract to be valid. A contract is a chosen arrangement between two or more parties that is enforceable by law as a binding legal arrangement. Contracts are vital for the protection of consumer rights as it allows the consumer to have legal paperwork of documentation if there was a chance of misadventure. Consumers must be very wary about the importance of reading through their contract before accepting
Thousands of people were dying every day because of the hatred for the jewish population that people displayed. People hated the Jews so much that they thought they needed to be punished. On January 30, 1933, World War II was already having thousands upon thousands of deaths per day, but it was about to get a lot worse when the Holocaust began. The Holocaust made the number of total deaths rise by about two million. The jewish people were put into concentration camps because Hitler believed they were not as good as everyone else, so he treated them terribly and their living conditions in concentration camps were awful.
During World War 2, the Nazi's created several concentration camps, but the one that was labeled one of the worst was Jasenovac. First of all, it was located in Croatia. Jasenovac was a complex of five smaller camps, Kapje, Brocia, Ciglana, Kozara, and Stara Gradiška, located 62 miles from the city of Zagreb. Furthermore, the camp was the largest in the area with a death count of 77,000-99,000 dead. The majority of those killed were Serbs. Many dies when the administration of Jasenovac blew up the camp at the end of the war to try and conceal their misdeeds and crimes. Specifically to the camps treatment of priisoners, they were terrible. Many people were killed or tortured in malicious ways. They had their throats cut with specifically made
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
