What was done to the Jews at concentration camps?

Concentration camps were camps that the Jewssh, Gypsie,s or other people were forced to go to, to be tortured or forced to do work. Adolf Htiler and the German Nazi soldiers did not like those kind of people so they decided to put them in camps, called Concentration camps. They put them in these camps mostly because of their looks and their religion. The camps were built to fit many people in them. they where experimented on to further German sicience like dunking men and women into cold water to see how long they last injecting them with drugs and cutting off limbs while they where still awake to see how will the body react but this was just a small portion mainly they just had them do work or killed them in gas chambers They were starved, abused, and put in death camps in which they put them in gas chambers and when I said abused I meant they ripped parts off and did things that the SPCA wouldn't let the animals treated that way. Trust me.


What were the differences between Nazi concentration camps and extermination camps?

The sole purpose of extermination camps was to kill as quickly and efficiently as possible. The were 'industrial' killing centres.___Often the terms concentration camps and extermination camps (or death camps) are used interchangeably. The sole purpose of extermination (death) camps was to kill. They were not labour camps.For example, at Belzec (extermination camp), 434,508 Jews and an unknown number of Roma ("Gypsies") were murdered, and only two(!) are known to have survived, while over 80% of those who entered Dachau (concentration camp) emerged alive (though it doesn't follow that they all survived World War 2, as some were moved to other camps, where they perished). At Chelmno, too, there were only two known survivors.Concentration camps were used as:Punishment and deterrent camps (for example, for Communists, socialists, liberals and other opponents of the Nazi regime, also for 'habitual criminals' and for homosexuals).Forced labour camps, where Jews and others were ruthlessly exploited as slave labour and often worked to death on grossly inadequate food.Resistance fighters from occupied countries.Two camps - the Auschwitz group and Majdanek were both extermination camps (death camps) and concentration camps. At Auschwitz, in particular, some people among each trainload of new arrivals were selected (chosen) as 'fit for work'. The others - who were mainly children under 15, visibly pregnant women, or sick or elderly people were killed as soon as practical because they were a "waste of a space".Extermination campsKey part of Auschwitz II (Birkenau)BelzecChelmnoMajdanek (part only - used as a 'back up' killing centre when other camps couldn't cope with the numbers. The rest was one of the most vicious concentration camps, where guards went on frequent killing sprees, clubbing prisoners to death)SobiborTreblinka IIIn addition, Maly Trostinets (near Mink, Belarus) and Janowska (near Lviv or Lemberg, in Ukraine) are often regarded as an extermination camps.To avoid misunderstanding, it should be stressed that the death toll at all the main concentration camps was high. Most of the prisoners had to do hard manual labour on insufficient food, and killer diseases, such as typhus, were common. For example, the death toll at Stutthof (near Danzig/Gdansk) is estimated at 65,000; and an estimated 50,000 died at Bergen-Belsen, about 75% of these as the result of a typhus epidemic in 1945.Extermination (death) camps were used only for the purpose of killing, usually by gassing. In many death camps, when they functioned efficiently, the new arrivals were taken straight from the trains to huts where they had to hand over their possessions and undress. They were then taken to the gas chambers and their corpses were cremated or buried in mass graves. These camps were 'death factories'. Very few people indeed survived these camps. (Most survivors from Auschwitz are from the various labour camps in the Auschwitz complex).Some prisoners were moved from Auschwitz (in particular) and Majdanek to other camps.


What were the major concentration camps in the Holocaust?

I believe that would be Auschwitz, Buchenwald and Treblinka. Dachau was the oldest but never did the (excuse me for using this term) volume that these three handled. Sobibor was closed after the successful escape. But do not forget that each of the main camps had feeder camps located near them. So even though there are several well known (or should I say infamous) camps, there were many more in the system that most people do not know about. When I visited Dachau, they had a display showing how this feeder system worked, and that was the first time I had ever heard of it.AnswerThe largest camp was Auschwitz-Birkenau, established in 1940.It's useful to distinguish between extermination (death) camps, which existed almost only for the purpose of killing, and other concentration camps.The extermination camps were:Auschwitz-Birkenau (part of the Birkenau section, but often just referred to as Auschwitz)Majdanek (which was also the site of an 'ordinary' concentration camp)Chelmno (aka as Kulmhof)TreblinkaBelzecSobiborAll these camps were in Poland.Maly Trostenets, in Berlarus, was also an extermination camp. Most of the other camps were 'ordinary' camps. The really large numbers were killed at the extermination (death) camps.An 'ordinary' concentration camp - not talked about much in Western Europe - with a very high death toll was Stutthof, near Gdansk (Danzig) Poland. About 65,000 inmates persished there and at its various sub-camps. Bergen-Belsen had a death toll of about 50,000.


What were the names and locations of nazi concentration camps and extermination or death camps in Austria?

Concentration Camps - Names and LocationsThe majority of the camps were located in Poland, but there were many in Germany and France as well. Sometimes the terms concentration camp and extermination (or death) camp are, misleadingly, used interchangeably. The sole purpose of extermination camps (death camps) was to kill (usually by gassing).Most larger concentration camps had several satellite or sub-camps. There were also several small, temporary concentration camps. If one includes all these as well as transit camps and the small number of specialized camps (for example for unruly children), the Nazis ran a total of nearly 1,500 concentration camps in Germany and German-occupied countries. (It is not possible to list them all here, but under the answer there is a link to a full list). For these purposes a concentration camp is a one run by the SS (or in 1933-34) the SA.Concentration camps were:Punishment and deterrent camps (for example, for Communists, socialists, liberals and other political opponents of the Nazi regime, later also for 'antisocial elements' and homosexuals).Forced labour camps, where many Jews and others were worked to death on grossly inadequate food.For resistance members.The first permanent concentration camp was Dachau, located near Munich (22 March 1933).Oranienburg, near Berlin, opened the day after Dachau.Sachsenhausen (near Berlin)Buchenwald is also located in Germany, near Weimar.Ravensbrueck (women's camp), North Germany.Mauthausen-Gusen (Austria)Neuengamme, near Hamburg.Flossenbuerg in Bavaria, near the Czech border.Bergen-Belsen near Hanover.Dora-Mittelbau (originally a satellite camp of Buchenwald)Stutthof (near Danzig)Gross RosenPlaszow (near Krakow)Natzweiler (Alsace)In addition, there were transit camps, where prisoners were held till they could be sent elsewhere.Extermination (death) campsThe extermination (death) camps were:Auschwitz-Birkenau (= Auschwitz II - part only)BelzecChelmnoMajdanek (part only: it was used as a 'back-up' facility when other camps were killing at full capacity. The role of this camp is being looked at again by some Holocaust historians)SobiborTreblinka IIThese extermination camps were all in Poland.In addition, Maly Trostenets (near Minsk, Belarus) and Bronnaya Gora (also in Belarus) were extermination camps, but they are not well known as there are no known survivors.The Auschwitz group of camps and Majdanek were 'dual purpose' camps: they had sections that functioned as extremely brutal hard labour camps, and also a section that was an extermination (death camp). In fact, Auschwitz-Birkenau (also called Auschwitz II) was the largest death camp of all.The death toll in 'ordinary' concentration camps was high, but over 80% of the inmates of Dachau (a concentration camp) emerged alive; however, Belzec (an extermination camp where 434,500 Jews and an unknown number of Roma and others were gassed) had only two(!) known survivors. There was a real difference.The number of 'ordinary' camps main camps was about 24. If one includes all the satellite camps and temporary camps, the total was a staggering 1,500 camps. (There is a link below, giving the full list compiled by the Federal German Ministry of Justice. Many of them are not well known in Western Europe and the U.S. However, the last column gives the main camp (or Stammlager) to which the various smaller camps were attached).In addition, there were transit and collection camps, where people were held temporarily until the SS had a train load of victims to send on to other camps. There were also a few camps for 'unruly' and 'difficult' children aged 12+ (later 8+).Note the German Wikipedia list (click link below), which is very thorough and includes the early camps, many of which were shut down later, such as Columbia-Haus, Berlin. In addition, in 1967 the Federal German Ministry of Justice compiled a list of all concentration camps - and the total comes to about 1,500. (See link below).Towards the end of the war conditions in most concentration camps deteriorated sharply.Have a look at Martin Gilbert's Atlas of the Holocaust.Please see the related questions.The name of concentration camps were Auschwitz.

How did Hitler roundup the Jews?

In simple terms, He would have the SS go to towns and say there was to be a meeting of all Jews. They would then put them in ghettos and then to concentration camps.

What is the Relationship solute concentration solvent concentration in osmosis?

In any situation, the more concentrated a solution is in terms of solute, the less concentrated it is in terms of solvent. This is important in osmosis as you have to be careful which way round you express things, because it is water which moves from where there is a lot of it to where there is less. Thus you have to understand that if you have a high concentration of sugar, you have a lower concentration of water.

Four facts about dachau concentration camp?

# Dachau was the first Nazi concentration camp to open (22 March 1933) # It was used mainly as a punishment and forced labour camp for various 'dissidents', in particular, Communists, Social Democrats, liberals and later clergymen. # Dachau was used as the main centre for training concentration camp personnel and became the 'model' for most later camps. # It was a Grade I camp. In very general terms this meant that prisoners were somewhat better fed there than at many other camps. # When the Americans were close to the camp, the SS tried to evacuate many of the prisoners on a forced march.


What is the concentration of salt?

This is a very nonspecific question, but concentration is just the amount of solute in a solvent. Typically this is expressed in terms of Molarity.
