They were built intentionally far enough behind the front line so that they would be safe.
Mostly its the concentration camps the Jews were kept at during the holocaust Auschwitz
Camps in the Syrian desert were used by the Ottoman Empire during the Turkish genocide of the Armenians in 1915-1917.
Yes, there were about 3 million Holocaust survivors.
It did not end any place. When the camps and territories were liberated, the Holocaust ended there, when Germany surrendered it ended in the last places.
No, the US did not participate in the Holocaust. I hope you are not confusing the Holoccaust with World War 2. Please see the related question.
Yes, after World War 2, many SS Soldiers who were involved with the concentration camps during the Holocaust. the ones found guilty would of been hanged in the concentration camp they worked in.
Yes the old Concetration Camps are musuems and there is a good one in Washington DC
There were no summer camps during his childhood.
By the time the Holocaust began the Nazis were not too bothered with questions of legality. In any case, concentration camps and extermination camps had been placed outside the law already in June 1933. They just went ahead with it.
Concentration camps were a fact of Nazi rule in Germany during the 1930s. Mass extermination in the death camps was post the invasion of Russia in summer 1941. I am making a difference between concentration camps as a prison for what were termed undesirables and those places where the Holocaust became a matter of Genocide. This does not mean that the older, original camps were in any way decent or proper, they were not. The difference was that, for the most part, the mass of murders were committed in the death camps in southern Poland between 1942 & 1944.
A crematorium is the same thing as a crematory. Here, any corpses are cremated (turned to ashes). There were many of these during Holocaust, because of all the death camps.
yes, all but about one camp was for both man and women
