Describe screening process for concentration camps?
When train loads of Jews arrived at Auschwitz, SS doctors 'selected' able-bodied Jews for work - and the old, the young and visibly pregnant women were sent straight off to be gassed.
At the beginning of World War 2 did Hitler send the Jews to concentration camp right away?
In 1939 most German Jews were forced to relocate to designated Jewish apartment blocks with a huge J over all entrances. Most young, able-bodied Jews were sent to labour camps. When the Nazis seized Poland the Jews were forced to live in ghettos, where the conditions were atrocious.
How were the Nazis able to keep the Jews from fleeing from Germany?

What did the prisoners in the concentration camps do?
Able bodied prisoners had to work as slave labourers.
How were concentration camps able to happen?
for the same reason that prisons were able to happen, they were built to hold criminals.
How did liberation of concentration camps impact ww2?
The liberation of the concentration camps did not impact WW2 at all. POW camps and slave labour camps were also liberated, servicemen were able to return to their units, but that was the limit of the impact.
Who was kept at the death camps?
Jews, criminals, homosexuals, gypsies, little people, the mentally ill and many others were imprisoned and killed in concentration camps. Only a few able-bodied people were kept at death camps, so as to do all of the work required at a death camp. Everyone else taken to a death camp was killed.
Where did they go after the camps?
Some survivors of the concentration camps camps were able to go home. However, many did not wish to or were unable to do so. (For example, there was violence against the Jews in Poland in 1945-46). These survivors had to go instead to Displaced Persons Camp initially. Later they found new homes and by the end of 1951 all the camps for Displaced Persons (except one) were dissolved.
Were any American Jews killed during the holocaust?
Unlikely, as whilst the US was still neutral they were able to extradite their citizens from the concentration camps. If they were still in Germany after all of the warnings in the 1930's something was going wrong.
Why were the Jews relieved and finally get on the train to leave sighet?
The Jews were relieved and finally able to get on the train to leave Sighet because they were being deported to a supposedly safer location. They believed they were going to a place where they would be spared the atrocities of the Holocaust, not knowing the true horrors that awaited them at the concentration camps.
Where there camps in US for Jews during World War 2?
I had to think awhile to be able to answer this question. There were no camps for Jews in the United State. The Jews were being killed in Germany and not all over the world. Being Jewish is a religious belief and not the enemy.
What was the point of the concentration camps?
The contain people in a confined area to do work for no pay without outside influences hence the name concentration camp. Also during the holocaust anyone not able to work would be publicly executed to put fear into other workers to make them work harder.
