In 1940 Auschwitz was established in the suburbs of Oswiecim. Oswiecim is a Polish city that was annexed to the Third Reich by the Nazis. Auschwitz was established because there were too many Polish people in the local prisons. In 1942 Auschwitz became a death camp and it was the largest known. (http://auschwitz.org/, n.d.) The camp was expanded throughout its existence, this resulted in Auschwitz consisting of three camps. The three camps were Main Camp, Birkenau, and Monowitz. Main Camp was known as Auschwitz I, Birkenau was known as Auschwitz II, and Monowitz was known as Auschwitz III. (Preisler, n.d.) Auschwitz was liberated in 1945. “Historians and analysts estimate the number of people murdered at Auschwitz somewhere between 2.1 million
“On February 29, 1944 the Nazis invaded the Boom house. Six people escaped detection because of the secret room, but Corrie and her father, sisters, and brother were captured along with twenty five others. They were arrested for their work with the resistance.” “After the four months in prison, all the prisoners were told to pack their baggage and take the train. When they were about to board a train Corrie saw her sister Bestie and finally both met in railway station. They were taken to the labor camp so that they may work there. Life wasn’t easy in the labor camp. They had to work hard and punishment was severe. ” One day Betsie was cruelly beaten by a guard for not working hard, but she prayed for the guard that hurt her. Betsie had a
My sister is ripped from me, shouting and kicking with fear. Anger and confusion build up in young Rina’s wide, grey eyes. The German devils roll their eyes when they see our pain. They scuff, “Toughen up, Jews,” making us feel worse about this tragic life we’ve been forced to live. Rina yelps when a Nazi soldier slaps her and shoves her away from me. I think to myself, “This is the end. If Rina is gone and my parents are separated from us, how are we all supposed to live in this unfamiliar place alone?”
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
“Imagine now a man who is deprived of everyone he loves, and at the same time of his house, his habits, his clothes, in short, of everything he possesses: he will be a hollow man, reduced to suffering and needs, forgetful of dignity and restraint, for he who loses all often easily loses himself.” This short quote is taken from Primo Levi’s “Survival in Auschwitz”. It depicts a true story of Primo Levi during the Holocaust, who was relocated to an extermination camp after beginning a great life after college. Primo was captured with a resistant group from Italy. He used his college education and degree in chemistry to stay alive.
In June, 1940, the Auschwitz Concentration Camp opened; this camp would later be the home and death place of hundreds of thousands of prisoners. Jews, Poles, and Gypsies made up the large majority of prisoners in the camp. Life in Auschwitz included living in undesirable conditions, and being kept on a very strict schedule day in, day out.
The Holocaust is one of the most horrifying crimes against humanity. "Hitler, in an attempt to establish the pure Aryan race, decided that all mentally ill, gypsies, non supporters of Nazism, and Jews were to be eliminated from the German population. He proceeded to reach his goal in a systematic scheme." (Bauer, 58) One of his main methods of exterminating these ‘undesirables' was through the use of concentration and death camps. In January of 1941, Adolf Hitler and his top officials decided to make their 'final solution' a reality. Their goal was to eliminate the Jews and the ‘unpure' from the entire population. Auschwitz was the largest
When the train arrives at Auschwitz, they smell burnt flesh, and they can see the smoke. They know now that it is too late and that Mrs. Shachtner was right about the fire.
In early November, the Gamzers and their neighbors, the Holtzmans, were forced to share one room of a tiny too-room house in the city's north side. Two other families had to share the other room. All together they dug a secret tunnel that led to a hiding place, so the Nazis couldn't find them when there would be another aktzia. They used it several times, but after a while Luncias father realized it wouldn't be save for her, so he made arrangements that she could live with the non-Jewish Mrs. Szczygiel and her family. Living there, she was never allowed to go out or even go near to a window, always had to be hidden, cause hosting Jews means dead. Even after the family decided to not host her anymore, because they were afraid to lose their lifes, Mrs. Szczygiel tried to hide her in a wooden trunk. One day though, one of her daughter found her hiding in there and the truth was out. Actually this was the best thing that could've happened to Luncia, because a day after that Mrs. Zczygiel brought her to the Ojaks, the family that was hosting her
