On April 29th 1942, the first of the Slovak Jews arrived at Auschwitz. They were taken to the two gas chambers and murdered. Their bodies were buried in giant pits. This was the start of the mass murders with which Auschwitz is associated - the deliberate and planned murder of, in this case, Slovak Jews.
It is estimated over 1,000,000
Most died from the gas chambers or starvation.
they sent the most jews to the gas chambers out of all of the camps
Auschwitz-Birkenau was a Death Camp, which meant that the vast majority of Jews who were sent there were immediately "liquidated", which means that they were sent systematically to the gas chambers. However, there was a minority that was taken to other barracks and forced into slave labor at the camp, which included maintenance of the gas-chambers and crematoria in addition to various types of industrial labor.
Jews were transferred to Auschwitz mostly by train.
They were either in line for the gas chambers, or they were murdered in some sort of evil way by the Nazis.
They first start sending Jews to Auschwitz in February 15th 1942
Jews were miinly sent to Auschwitz between 1942-1944 but some Jews were sent to Auschwitz in 1940-1941 and 1945.
Atleast 140,000 Jews died at Auschwitz I.
Zyklon B was the poison used in the Auschwitz gas chambers.
After the experinments, they were either put into hospital care, sent to Gas Chambers or put back to Work. Most people would of been sent to death straight after if they didn't die during the experinments. ALL Jews were gassed immediantly after the experinments at Auschwitz.
