On arrival at Auschwitz the Jews were sorted into two groups.
Those who were 'selected' (chosen) as fit for work were used as slave laborers. The rest were gassed as soon as practical. Kids under 15 (sometimes 14), visibly pregnant women and the elderly were gassed as unfit for work. This was standard procedure.
Those considered fit for work were registered and tattooed with a number and then sent to forced labour sections of the camp, where they had to do heavy manual labour on grossly insufficient food.
Most women, children, and elderly people were told they were going to the "showers" to be cleansed of lice, but, they were gassed and cremated as soon as possible. Healthy adult men and women healthy were worked until they were unable to do any more back breaking slave labor, then they were gassed and cremated, and replaced by new slave labor. A small number of Jews were used for "medical experiments".

∙ 15y agoIn the case of the death camps in the literal sense (Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka, Belzec, Chelmno, Sobibor) a very small number would be 'selected' for work (such as clearning the gas chambers after each gassing session), and the rest were gassed as soon as possible.
