Do Jews hate the Sonderkommandos?
No. The Sonderkommandos were mostly Jews. Other Jews recognize that what the Sonderkommandos did was to for self-preservation of the Holocaust and not because they "liked" cremating their fellow Jews.
Did many Nazi people helpJewish people?
Sonderkommandos …________' ... helped Nazis' suggests collaboration. I've never heard anyone accuse the Sonderkommandos in the extermination camps of being collaborators. The role of the 'Jewish Councils' (Judenräte) in the ghettos is generally more controversial, however.
What were the Kapo and Special Squad supposed to do?
Kapos were in charge of the Jewish prisoners at the death camps, it was their job to make sure the Jews did their work correctly, they also had the power of life or death over the prisoners. The special squads were called sonderkommandos, it was their job to deal with the new arrivals at the death camps, to sort out their clothing, take out gold teeth, drag the dead out of the gas chambers and to burn their bodies in the crematorium.
How did the sonderkommandos get things from the Jews?
Basically the Jews died and the Sonderkommando picked the things up.
Were death camps and concentration camps the same thing?
No, death camps did not hold people, they just killed them.____Ordinary concentration camps were essentially punishment and forced labour camps. Extermination camps were intended purely as 'killing facilities': the aim was to kill new arrivals as soon as practical, usually within hours. As stated above, they did not 'hold people'. The extermination camps were:Auschwitz II (Birkenau - part only. The rest was a very harsh concentration camp).BelzecChelmnoMajdanek - (part only). The function of this camp seems to have been to provide a 'back-up' extermination facility.SobiborTreblinkaIn addition, there Maly Trostinets (near Minsk) was an extermination camp.Auschwitz II and Majdanek were both concentration camps and extermination camps.The term death camp includes all the Nazi extermination camps. It is sometimes extended to the very harshest concentration camps (the Grade III camps), where the aim was to work prisoners to death. Examples include the Mauthausen group of camps and Auschwitz III. So there is some (rather confusing) overlap between the terms.Note that there were practically no survivors from Belzec and Chlemno (only two known survivors in each case). Sobibor and Treblinka had about 50-60 survivors each as the result of uprisings and mass break-outs by the Sonderkommandos at both camps. (The Sonderkommandos were the very small groups of new arrivals selected to help with the extermination process itself, for example, by digging mass graves, sorting the victims' personal belongings and so on). Maly Trostinets has no known survivors at all, which may be one reason why it is almost unknown. On the other hand, there were survivors from all the concentration camps, including the very harshest.On the whole, Holocaust scholarship avoids using the term death camp, but there are some exceptions.Please see the related questions.
What happen during uprising in camps?
There were three uprisings, all by the Sonderkommandos at extermination camps * Trelinka II (1943) * Sobibor (1943) * Auschwitz II (1944) The uprisings at Treblinka and Sobibor were mass breakouts. Many of those who broke out were recaptured. About 40 of the prisoners who broke out of Treblinka and 150 of those who broke out of Sobibor were still alive at the end of World War 2. The uprising at Auschwitz-Birkenau was different. Some female prisoners working in the munitions industry smuggled in explosives and the Sonderkommando blew up one of the crematoria.

Sonderkommandos basically put the Jews in the gas chambers, and cleaned up the dead bodies.
