Lastly, work and death camps were used by Adolf Hitler and his Nazis to exterminate all the Jews. For example, Auschwitz, which was known as the Camp of Death, was recognized as the most efficient concentration camp by the Nazis. These Nazis had thousand of Jewish people working under forced labor under very heaving living conditions, and this was often pointless and humiliating. “Even before the war began, the Nazis imposed forced labor on Jewish civilians both inside and outside concentration camps” (United States Holocaust Encyclopedia 1). To add, some prisoners were subjected to work to death meaning that they had the potential to survive the final solution. In work and death camps, people worked for countless amounts of hours and many
The labor camps at Auschwitz were where the prisoners, that were fit for work, were forced to work on projects around the camp. The prisoners that were not fit for work were immediately sent to the gas chambers. All of the young children, elderly, pregnant women, and anyone else who was not physically or mentally strong enough to work was sent to
One of the problems Asian American communities faced during World War 2 is concentrations camps. Since the United States went to war all Japanese, Germans, and Italians were seen as enemies so, they were put in camps because the U.S did not did not trust them. Also it was a way to have control over them having them in camps. Over five thousand Japanese were detained and were intern in camps in Mexico, Montana, South Dakota, Los Angeles, and the Bay Area. There were ten more relocations camps located in California, Arizona, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, and Arkansas.
The Auschwitz camp used its prisoners for forced labor. The Nazis treated the Jews poorly and as of they were nothing. Ushmm.org states “Jewish women who had been assigned to forced labor in a nearby armaments factory”. Between the years 1940-45 out of 1.3 million Jews, 1.1 million died. All of those innocent people died only because their race was hated by one very powerful, but very convincing man. After a year of the camp existing, the SS and the police cleared about forty square meters for the camp. They had all of this cleared by forced labor from the Jews. The Nazis were very cruel to the Jews and for a certain amount of time this camp was used as a killing center. Those cold- hearted people killed men, women, and innocent
I chose WW2 concentration camps for my research about what happened in world war 2. I’ll start by talking about all the labor that people had to do in the war. Millions of people were caught and brought to concentration camps and they had to don a bunch of work. Millions of people were worked to the bone and a lot of them died during the war.If someone was slowing them down, the soldiers would shoot the person. They would also do things like hanging them, burn them and use them as target practice. People with a higher social status most the time got better jobs than the other prisoners like indoor jobs. While the other prisoners had jobs like carrying a bunch of heavy stuff while it’s 20 below zero.
“…Imagine now a man who is deprived of everyone he loves, and at the same
2. On page 12, the narration changes. Why might it be necessary for someone else to begin telling Janie’s story now?
As the war progressed, a need for soldiers presented itself to Germany, and Hitler turned to his youngest, and most enthusiastic, devoted followers. Due to air raids of its cities, Germany ordered her youth shipped to Hitler Youth camps in the countryside. Promises that the camps would continue education helped set parents at ease as their the government took their children away. Adversely the Nazis did not educate the children, but rigorously trained them in combat, treating them like soldiers at boot camp. Away from any source of respite, Nazi propaganda was constantly shoved down their throats through constant songs and slogans. Soon Allies encountering younger and younger soldiers, flinging themselves into battle with ferocity unseen by
The extermination camps, in contrast to the many work camps planted around Europe, existed for the purpose of killing, and a large proportion of the detainees taken to them were dead shortly upon after arrival at the camps. A limited number of detainees were regarded sufficiently fit to work were temporarily coerced
In early 1930’s one of the darkest times in history, a worldwide depression had hit Germany. Adolf Hitler conducted a slave raid throughout the Soviet Union during World War II.
While there were many death camps that opened during the Jewish Holocaust, none of them compare to the opening of Birkenau in 1941. Birkenau opened and before it was liberated “the camp killed about 1.3 million people” (“Auschwitz”). Birkenau was a factory of death. This place was a monstrosity for all of the prisoners. They slept in a bunk with two or three other people and a blanket per person. Once the prisoners were there, they learned that life would not be easy. Waking up at six o’clock and working 12-14 hour days with minimal food. “The soup was unappetizing, and newly arrived prisoners were often unable to eat it, Supper consisted of about 300 grams of black bread, served with about 25 grams of sausage, or margarine, or a tablespoon
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.
"When I came to power, I did not want the concentration camps to become old age prisoners' homes, but instruments of terror"- Adolf Hitler. During the Holocaust, concentration camps killed more than six millions Jews. Concentration camps are in the past, but everyone should know the history and the devastation of the Holocaust and its camps
The Holocaust is a tragic event that took place in Germany, Poland, and many other places. The leader of the Natzies was Aldolf Hitler. He killed between 11-17 million people. Hitler mainly targeted Jews but he also targeted Gypsies, Soliet prisoners of war, Communists, Liberals, Incurables, Jehovahs Witnesses and Homosexuals. Most of hitlers targets got sent to concentration camps where many of them suffered and died.
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
Night showed me the variety of everything, I learned the variety of different kinds of camps, different work stations, and different ways of torturing people. The camps mainly were work camps but Auschwitz was a death camp; you either are fit enough to work or you die. They ran 20km in freezing cold weather, the SS guards got tired out and were replaced before the Jewish people got a break.
