Star Camp was the largest of the five satellite camps, containing eighteen barracks. It held Jewish inmates that were appointed for exchange. These prisoners did not wear the usual concentration camp garbs but instead were allowed to wear their own clothes. However, they were forced to wear a yellow Star of David, which gave that camp the name of star camp. Male and female genders lived in separate barracks, however family members were allowed to meet. Most of the inmates in this camp were Jewish people that were from the Netherlands. In the period from January to September 1944, eight different transports from the Westerbork transit camp in the Netherlands arrived in Bergen- Belsen. These transports were made up of 3,670 people who were all

On this day there were 30,387 women in the camp.
In 1848, shopkeeper Henry Angel started a trading post to meet the needs of gold miners who had flocked to the foothills of the Sierra Nevada during the California Gold Rush. Thus Angels Camp was named, resting in the heart of Calaveras County, and although there’s no longer much gold here, the destination is rich many other ways.
Throughout WWII, people of different countries were interned and imprisoned in camps all over the world. Japanese-Americans on the West Coast were taken out of their homes and placed in internment camps like Manzanar to detain them from communicating with Japan. Families were torn apart in these camps, leaving them scattered across the United States. The Japanese-Americans were deprived of the claim of habeas corpus, and soon they attempted to return to the life that they lived before the war. Even after Camp Manzanar was closed and World War II ended, Japanese-American families on the West Coast still experienced prejudice and unfairness in their new lives.
Bergen-Belsen was a German prisoner-of-war (POW) camp established in 1940 near Celle. In April of 1943 the SS Economic-Administration Main Office converted part of the camp into a civilian residence camp. The Bergen-Belsen camp complex had five different satellite locations that housed many different groups of prisoners. The three main camps were: the POW camp, the “residence camp” (Aufenthaltslager) and the “prisoners’ camp” (Haftlingslager). The “residence camp” had four sub-camps: the “special camp” (Sonderlager), the “neutrals camp” (Neurtalenlager), the “star camp” (Sternlager) which received its name because prisoners had to wear yellow stars of David instead of uniforms, and the “Hungarian camp” (Ungarnlager).
Bergen-Belsen had a unique way their camp was set up. They didn’t just have one big camp like most of the other camps, they had their camp split up five ways in eight different sections: a detention camp, a special camp for Jews with South American papers, a star camp for Jews wearing The Star of David, a camp for Jews with papers from neutral countries, two women’s camps, a Hungarian camp, and a tent camp. Even though the camp was intended for 10,000 people, the camp held 60,000.

Waking up 6:30 in the morning isn't common for me but July 28th was the day I was driving up to Athens for Dawg Camp. I was waiting for this day since I was fortunate to receive a scholarship to go to Dawg Camp Discovery thanks to the UGA Parents Leadership Council. Every UGA event I attended, convinced me that Dawg Camp was an once in a lifetime opportunity. I was beyond ecstatic when I found out I was one of the recipient of the reward. Once arriving at UGA, I walked into Ramsey startled by the excitement coming from the basketball court. All of the camp counselors were beyond theatric when all of the campers came in one by one. As the day went on, I began to connect with my group, Silver 4, more and more. We were able to talk about our
Camp Ketcha offers a unique environment for preschoolers to play. At their nature-based preschool, not only do they play inside with the typical toys for the little tikes, they use the outdoors to entertain their students for hours. Usually, when someone thinks of children's toys, legos, barbies, and toy race cars come to mind. But at Camp Ketcha, the children typically are more entertained by horses, gourds, and apple trees.

“If a jew was even suspected on not complying with the laws, it could lead to beatings, arrests, imprisonment, or even death.” (Pg 18) In Bergen-Belsen, the Jews that died of typhus and other diseases would be burned or buried in mass graves. (Pg 2) While at the camp, cattle cars would be brought to take jews for the east. These transports averaged 1,000 people but some had more than 3,000 Jews.
The Nerdy Starcat lives in the deepest part of the ocean which is the ocean floor. Its habitat has to be very dark, gloomy and cold. When the temperatures are cold, it has the ability to use its thick skin to keep itself warm. However, if the temperatures are hot, the Nerdy Starcat will overheat due to so much fur on its body. Because of this, the Nerdy Starcat swims around the ocean floor to create its homes. Being very picky and cautious about homes and environments, the Nerdy Starcat builds its home behind the coral reefs. And the shape of its home is a banana. Due to such a unique style and architecture of a home, fish swimming around it get attracted. The fish then swim towards the banana and get eaten by the Nerdy Starcat. Having this
Camp Shalom, a home away from home. Camp Shalom is a Christian camp that has been apart of my life for the past 9 years. Starting at 2nd grade kids can start going to camp for “mini camp” a camp for two days and one night. Then, when kids reach the 4th grade they are in the “village.” This is a section of camp with kids in the grades 4, 5, and 6. When kids reach 7th grade they go to “outpost.” Outpost is similar to village but with older kids. After you are done being a camper you have the opportunity to be an assistant counselor. Being an assistant counselor is when my life truly started to change.
They were compact and closed off from everything. They were given a piece of sausage and a piece of black bread with marmalade, margarine, or cheese. The camps were split into three different areas. One area was the reception area where people waited to be murdered. There was also an area where people were taken away to be buried or burned. Train rides were very unpleasant most died before even reaching the camp people died of starvation, dehydration, and lack of air.Which in most cases would be lucky.
The species of Wookiee is quite unique. They are a more tall, and hairy humanoid body shaped creature. The strength of a wookiee is far more compared to an average human, when provoked, they could cause substantial harm. Most Wookiees aside from their temper were more loyal, intelligent and sophisticated beings. The Wookiees had the ability to learn other languages, but not speak them, yet understand them. Furthermore, it is quite rare to see a Force-Sensitive Wookiee, but some for example would be Gungi, or Lowbacca. In the wookiee childhood, it is more classical for them to construct weapons of their own, using poisonous darts, or rocks the ways Ewoks would. Wookiees are well known for their defensive side, when they defended their homeworld
