What Were The Consequences Of German Imperialism

One of the many reasons why the jewish called them “DEATH CAMPS”. (living conditions, labor and executions)

Diseases such as scabies, typhus, typhoid, dysentery, and tuberculosis were the main diseases. Many people had to wait in hour long lines, even in bad weather, to even see a doctor About six million to eight million people died during the Holocaust, because of these diseases and other events. Sanitation was another condition during the Holocaust. The concentration camps were nasty, disgusting, and dirty. Most toilets at the camps were overflowing on the floor, because of all of the people trying only to use about eight toilets on average per concentration

What happened to the Jews during the Holocaust was unthinkable; millions of people were persecuted. Jews were asked to vacate their homes and were shifted to specific areas in cities known as ghettos. In these ghettos, several families had to live under one roof in cramped and unhealthy manner. About 6 million Jews were sent to concentration camps. Jews were transported in freight trains to these camps under inhumane conditions, and many perished on the way. They were hardly given any food. They were also made to work long hours, some times 12 to 14 hours without a break. The Nazis did not spare women or children. According to estimates, the Nazis killed 1.2 millions Jewish children and thousands of gypsy and disabled

The conditions of the camp were unbearable. The prisoners were barely fed, mainly bread and water, and were cramped in small sleeping arrangements. "Hundreds slept in triple-tiered rows of bunks (Adler 51)." In the quarters that they stayed, there were no adequate cleaning facilities or restrooms for the prisoners. They rarely were able to change clothes which meant the "clothes were always infested with lice (Swiebocka 18)." Those were sick went to the infirmary where also there were eventually killed in the gas chambers or a lethal injection. The Germans did not want to have anyone not capable of hard work to live. Prisoners were also harshly punished for small things such as taking food or "relieving themselves during work hours (Swiebocka 19)." The biggest punishment was execution. The most common punishment was to receive lashings with a whip.

Since the Nazi soldiers were male, they treated men and women prisoners in their camps with a significant amount of difference. Prisoners were forced to do pointless yet challenging labour for an indefinite time before they were sentenced to death. Upon arrival at the camps, Jews were divided into two different groups; one would group would live and the other would be sent to the gas chambers immediately. The labour intensive tasks proved to be quite brutal for women since they were not accustomed to such duties. Even pregnant women were not spared and many women miscarried because the hard labour had killed their unborn child. Those babies who were born were almost inevitably taken immediately and killed. There was no privacy in these camps and the women were continually being eyed by the lonely, watching soldiers. Some women were beaten or sexually harassed while in the camps and could do nothing to stop the horror. Their husbands, brothers and fathers were either dead or in a different part of the

Most of these camps were used for the elimination of the Jews. There were also camps that were mainly just for torture purposes and the Jews had to work until death. The Jews that were in these camps were also put into striped uniforms and had limited food like one piece of bread a day, these were awful living conditions.

(Holocaust Ppt.43) Women were forced to strip, and herded into gas chambers. The chambers were then sealed completely and about ten minutes later, about forty women were dead. (Holocaust document,3) The living conditions in Concentration Camps were unsanitary, cold, and illnesses and diseases led to deaths frequently. (Holocaust Ppt.44) Jews were treated horribly by the Nazis in Concentration Camps and were often starved to

Concentration camps was definitely not the best place for a person to be in. They put people in there who were detained or confined, and the prisoners were kept in extremely harsh conditions and they didn’t have any rights. According to https://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10005144he camps had a variety of different facilities which included labor camps, prisoner of war camps, transit camps, and camps that were killing centers, called

Have you ever wondered what the death camps were like in the holocaust? When all of the jews and enemies suffered at the camps. They starved, beating, worked to death, and killed. The holocaust was a awful time for jews and the enemies. Families were split apart and never seen again, men worked hard labor in the camps, mothers lost their children from deaths or just taking away.

Inmates resembled skeletons and were so weak they were unable to move. The smell of burning bodies was ever present and piles of corpses were scattered around the camp. However, you could be “saved” from the crematoria to be used as test subjects to cruel experimentation and used as lab rats for any experiment the scientists wanted to conduct. Later in the war, extermination camps were built. These were specialized for the mass murder of Jews using Zyklon B to ensure a painful, long, and torturous death. The bodies would then be thrown into the fire and all clothes, teeth, and shoes would be sent to pursue the German war front. At max efficiency, 20,000 people would be killed in the gas chambers a day. As the red Army approached near to liberate the Jews in concentration and extermination camps, SS officers sent prisoners on a death march across hundreds of miles, where they ran with no food or water, no matter the weather, until they reached the closest camp. SS officers proceeded to blow up the camps to hide the genocide from the

Most of the “camps and certain areas within concentration camps were designated specifically for female prisoners” (www.ushmm.org). Men during the holocausts who had businesses and rights were striped of all they had and were forced to hard labor. The men were forced to work until death, starvation was one leading cause of death in labor camps were men worked. Also diseases and disabilities also affected most men and how they live during the holocaust. Jewish men that were brought back form the infirmary were shown in pictures and a skeleton and looked as if the man had not eaten in a year and S.S soldiers considered them as fit to work. German citizens that helped Jews were also taken as prisoners and sent to camps until death. Anyone who survived through that living nightmare is a brave and strong person with having to see your family perish before your eyes and never seeing them again is a very tough thing to when you stay strong and never giving up until freedom. Most Jewish people that survived either had runaway and kept their identity secret for the German not to find out or survived by betraying their families to help the Germans. The Holocaust was a horrifying event that none would feel comfortable to talk about but by this topic we learn what happened to the life of Jewish men, women, and children and what their life was during the holocaust.

World War I, also known as the Great War, was a traumatic experience across Europe; the continent was in shock while experiencing the first total war. During the late 1800s to early 1900s, industrialization was at its peak while the leading powers avidly extended their control through imperialism. However, this golden age did not last long as alliances began to divide and create tension among leading powers. Militarism with a strong sense of nationalism further led to Germany’s invasion through Belgium and into Marne. As a result, the total war broke out on either side of Germany with multiple nations involved including Russia, France, Britain, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire. With this in mind, despite some believing that the assassination

Concentration Camps were found throughout the area of German-obtained territories. In German, they were pronounced Konzentrationslager. Concentration camps were used to torture and kill those who didn’t fit in with the master race. Some of the most well-known camps were Auschwitz Birkenau, Belzec, Bergen Belsen, Buchenwald, Chelmno, Dachau, Ebensee, and Flossenbürg. At these concentration camps, Jews and other minorities were detained and subjected to physical and sexual abuse. When the Nazis began to feel like the Jews were no longer producing enough effort, the Jews would be sent to gas chambers or other forms of torturous deaths. According to statistics, there were around 1,200 camps in the German areas of control. To be transported to the camps, laborers were placed on railway carts with no extra space and possibly a bucket in the corner to use the bathroom. Many carts had laborers sitting on top of each other

When the Jewish first arrived to the camp, (tired, dirty, hungry, and thirsty from the train ride), they were immediately split into two separate groups men on one side and women and children on the other. After they were brutally separated from their families all of their personal belongings were taken away, and they were tested to see who could work and who was at this point, too weak. The weak workers were either shot or put into a gas chamber, while the strong workers moved on in the process. After tested for strength and endurance their heads were shaved (both men and women) and they got a number tattooed on there arm, to show what number prisoner they were. When that was over they6 were sent to the barracks, these were wooden or brick shacks full of 3 tiered bunks meant to comfortably hold 100-200 people. However there was an average of 700-800 people per barrack, or even more. The Jewish were fed 3 times a day, but it was a thin soup made of water and vegetable scraps (rotten bits, ends of vegetables, skins etc.) and bread made out of sawdust. Also the “prisoners” were forced to do grueling work such as carrying heavy bricks up a mountain or even collecting the dead bodies of their fellow religion, if they failed to do this work correctly or efficiently they would be beaten, shot, or gassed. By the end of the Holocaust, over 6 million Jewish people and 5 million

The select others, usually consisting of stronger-looking young males and teenagers, would then be searched, stripped of their possessions, disinfected of any germs or disease, have their heads shaved, and be given tattered clothing (Hunt 865). These victims were subjected to living like abused, wild animals. As described in the novel, The Tragedy of Nazi Germany, “Camp inmates were degraded and debased to a subhuman level…They were scarecrows with match-stick thin limbs. Their shaven heads were hangdog and dirty, their skins scaly and scabby with sores and starvation,” (Phillips 185). Inmates were malnourished, for they were given the smallest scraps of food only to suffice for energy to produce labor; lack of clothing and food during the harsh conditions of the winter caused many to fall ill and die of disease; they were punished for the simplest mistakes, and these punishments consisted of “cruel beatings and torture which often killed the weakened emaciated bodies,” (Phillips 185). After World War II, these horrifying conditions had resulted in the deaths of approximately six million Jews, and about five million other minority groups within Europe (Hunt 865).
