Star Camp Research Paper

So many new prisoners kept arriving, many of them women. On January 1st, 1945, there were 8,730 women in Bergen-Belsen. By January 15, 1945, there were 16,475 women. Something had to be done. This is when the “Large Women's Camp” had formed. By March 1st, 1945 the “Large Women's Camp” held 26,723 women in it. On March 15, 1945, they had gained around 4,000-5,000 more women. On this day there were 30,387 women in the camp.

The prisoner population expanded rapidly, reaching 110,000 by the end of 1945.” (Jewish Virtual Library, pg. #1) To explain, Buchenwald was liberated the year of 1945 which was also when the Holocaust ended. Forced labor was one of the things that the Jews had to deal with, meaning they were either sent into factories and work for the SS or they were sent to go build sub-camps. All the prisoners that were forced to labor were all young and strong men. The living conditions of the camp were terrible. The prisoners lived in places called barracks, which were beds made out of wood. The barracks never had mattresses or anything to lie on besides the wood. There were about 3 prisoners that stayed on one barrack. Most of the time there were no room for prisoners to sleep so you would have to sleep on top of people in the

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

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).

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.

A lesser known camp, Westerbork, is located in the Netherlands. This concentration camp was known as a Transit camp, which meant it wasn’t the end of the line for the prisoners who arrived there. These camps were a temporary accommodation for the groups of prisoners that were being shipped throughout the country. Often these camps are where families were split up by German Nazi soldiers. Westerbork was used from October 1939 through April 1945. This camp was shut down by Canadian liberation. Westerbork still stands as a monument today (Concentration Camps).

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.

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.

People were usually sent to extermination camps if they were hiding Jews of if they did anything else disrespectful to the Germans. When they arrived at these camps, they were assigned to a barracks. The barracks were only supposed to fit three or four people, but the leaders crammed eight or nine people in there. There were three mattresses stacked like bunk-beds. All of the mattresses tended to have fleas or lice on them. The leaders of the camp only gave each barracks a few blankets so, the people would have

This was a German Nazi Concentration that was the largest of all the Concentration Camps. The main camp of Auschwitz was like a small town, with its own staff canteen, cinema, theatre and grocery store. It is estimated that over 2 million people were sent to Auschwitz. Mostly Soviet POWs and Jewish people were forced into this camp. Witold Pilecki, a Polish soldier, volunteered to be sent to Auschwitz to gather information, escape and let people about the Holocaust. Only 143 other people escaped from Auschwitz successfully.

I would like to attend Panther Camp because I am a transfer student who is looking forward to making lasting friendships with my fellow peers. The transfer process has been a long and tough journey for me and I would like a chance to connect with other students who are going through the same thing. The virtual orientation has made me excited to attend Panther Camp because of how the campers talk about the amazing experiences they had while on their retreat. I would like to have those awesome memories as well!

There were 18 barracks in the main camp. Two were used as a sickbay for the prisoners, two were warehouses, one was a penal block, and one barrack was used as the camp prison, until a separate prison was created. There were twelve barracks remaining. These served as prisoners' quarters. Because of poor sanitary conditions, the washroom and toilets within each barrack decayed after 1943.

It ran from 1943 to 1944 and held all the non-Jewish prisoners. Part of the camp became the recuperation camp, where any sick prisoners were sent (Bergen-Belsen: Camp Complex). This part of the camp was established in 1944 to keep healthy prisoners from getting sick (USHMM). The most people died there because there was no medical care or good food, and the conditions were very bad (Bergen-Belsen: Camp Complex). About 35,000 of these prisoners died when the typhus epidemic struck, including Anne and Margot Frank. Many of them were also killed by lethal injections (Webb and Lisciotto). When the recuperation camp became too full, officials moved all the girls to the tent camp (Bergen-Belsen: Camp Complex). This happened in 1944 (USHMM). The tent camp was later damaged by a storm, so the small women’s camp was created (Bergen-Belsen: Camp Complex). Prisoners who survived the death marches were brought to Bergen-Belsen, and many of them were women, so officials turned the prisoner-of-war camp into the large women’s camp (USHMM).
