playing dead, like moshe the beadle
Having examined the situation in Sighet during the lead up to deportations I believe I may be able to provide you with the following information. During world war two, about a year or two before Germany took over Hungary, the men were sent to labour camps. Families would hear back from them through letters which were moderated and at some point afterwards they would stop receiving any mail. News of the war itself was broadcast over the radio, but the holocaust itself in the context of "extermination" was to some extent held from the public. Restrictions in Sighet were subtle; First jews had to wear a star and were not allowed to work in certain professions. Then, they were not entitled to own business or property. Then a curfew. Finally, when the germans arrived, they were displaced. To answer your question, the general expectations of the jews in Sighet were that they were going to endure "forced labour". They believed that they were going to be put to work and assist in the war. In the leadup...there were rumours about the concentration camp. But nobody was sure if this would affect hungary's jews; the germans were losing the war by this time and most were hoping to be liberated before the germans arrived. They were displaced into ghettos, and then deported. Auschwitz could not have been imagined... They did not know is your answer. It was rumoured, but not many escaped to tell the story (few did) they were expecting a labour camp being women and children...the inhumanity was not comprehended nor expected.
I have a Mauser action 7 mmthat could be for World War II when the Germans were fighting the Russians
The Germans believed that the ordeal could decide if a person was innocent or guilty.

It turned the tide against the Germans in North Africa in WWII. The war could have turned out very differently if the Brits had lost El Alamein and the Germans had driven through Egypt, taking over the Suez Canal and possibly securing the massive amounts of oil in the Middle East needed to run Hitler's Panzers.
This is not a simple answer: There were many people tried and punished for their involvement, there were many who died before they could be put on trial and there were many who escaped before they could be brought to trial.The Holocaust was initiated by the Nazis, but as it grew, non Nazis also helped and also non Germans.
They would know because if they saw the itchey workhouse clothes they could tell that you had escaped
No a slave catcher could come and take them back but in Canada they were free
they called Hitler and asked if they could leave
they had nowhere to go.
The African Americans escaped to the North because there was freedom up in the North. They could be possibly sent back 2 Africa their homeland
