The Nazis who killed the inmates and not much documents about the camps
American soldiers who liberated extermination camps were unaware of how horrible the Holocaust had been.
They killed any soldiers they found and tried to help the people still alive. I knew a man who was an American officer that liberated one of the camps. He said they found the officers at lunch and killed them. Medical services were provided to the people they found and many of them were afraid that if they left they would be harmed or killed. They had been through so much.
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.
One of the first camps found the British and Canadian armies was Breendonck near Antwerp in Belgium. It was, strictly speaking, a transit camp and 'intensive interrogation centre' (where members of the Belgian resistance were tortured) but was also used as a concentration camp. It was liberated early in September 1944. The biggest camp that the British liberated was Bergen-Belsen, near Hanover, liberated in April 1945.
The thing that sickened them was the Nazi concentration camps. Makes me sick too
concentration camps were places where Jews were kept in the 2nd world war and then the used to get killed there
This could very. In my opinion, yes. When the Allies liberated concentration camps, they found out why they were fighting. (See Related Links for Band of Brothers Episode 9, "Why We Fight".)
Soldiers found bodies piled up when they liberated the extermination camps.
People in Germany and abroad knew about the ordinary concentration camps. The first extermination camp liberated was Majdanek (in a suburb of Lublin, Poland), which was liberated by the Soviet Army in July, 1944. They invited journalists from Allied countries to visit it and report on what they found. Auschwitz was liberated on 27 January 1945.
The Brits, Americans and Soviets all found the concentration camps, not necessarily together.
that is abit of a silly question because no one wanted to go to the concentration camps but if the Germans found them they had to go as soon as they arrived they knew that they were going into the camps
Why? Because the Jews were starving, and almost dead. When Americans found concentration camps, most were abandoned by Nazis.
