They had do eat whatever they could. I could imagine it would be bugs, or lint. But at the most, It was whatever the Nazis gave them. Stale bread with some thick soup. But they never gave that every day.

the russians saved some of the jews after the war

the rest died

___________________________

survival mainly depended on luck. There were a few things that a person could do to help, but at any time they could be selected at random and killed.

At the end of the war many were liberated, by the Soviets in the east and by Canada, Britain and the US in the west, but they were not 'saved'.

What did Jews HAVE to go through.....First they where transported by train about 25-30 people in one little box. In the train, the Jews were smashed together; some died on the way there from being to cramped or stomped on, or froze to death. Most Jews urinated and crapped ( for no better word) on each other. They would arrive at a concentration camp somewhere in Poland, Germany. Once they had arrived, families were split, dads went one way, mothers go another; children where usually killed right there on the spot. When the families were separated, all their belongings were taken from them; shoes, hats, clothes, earrings, necklaces, gold teeth, anything. Their hair was cut off too, so that lice wouldn't spread. Then they were assigned numbers, those numbers would be tattooed on their lower arm. The guards would then put you in a barrack by number with other Jews that you didn't know...

Roll call would being every morning. Role call was to see how many Jews were left, and to see how many they had killed the day before. After roll call, breakfast was watered down soup and bread. After that, the Jews would work all day, everyday, until dark. Some Jews would be killed while working, and some Jews died working. Most Jews died from disease, bulimia, or being shot. In the concentration camps, scientists did experiments on others to find cancer cures or disease cures. But most of the time the Jews died.

its pretty sad....=(

i am not Jewish but ive talked to many Jewish people and they have told me their stories. They lived in horrible conditions, actually you couldn't even say what they lived in was life, they had to sleep about 2 or more people per bed. Once they got to the concentration camps they would take all their belongings including their clothes, they would make them run all night with no clothes and no shoes. They would feed them a piece of bread and soup and coffee, everyday. when they got sick nobody cared they would just let them die slowly, i know right pretty sad. They even made them work B4 they sent them to the crementory, where they would die. they worked burying bodies of other Jews,and little factories that i really don't remember what they made there, other horrible things too but i really don't remember. but i could tell you that their lifes were terrible. you should research more about this, and hear their stories, it is really interesting. also make sure to pass their stories to people you know because that way we could prevent this from happening again. nobody deserves to have this life.

the Jewish people suffered a lot during World War II. especially in the concentration camps. They got very little food, and only one meal a day. They were also worked to their death. They got beaten, and starved. A good amount of them died from diseases. But, They went through a lot just to get into the concentration camps. they were put into certain clothes that were all torn, and they had to shave their heads completely.

basically by luck, there were a few jobs where you were more likely to survive, but on any day at any time anyone could be killed.

they needed to make sure that they did not anger the soldiers or anyone important in any way. they had to work hard and if they got sick they had to do their best to hide it
