What happened during uprising in camps in the holocaust?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Oh god, so many things happened in a concentration camp! First, you were marched into the camp, then separated into groups. There was a group for the men, a group for the women, and a group for the elderly, the sick, and children deemed unfit for working purposes. The latter of the categories were sent to the gas chambers, where they were gassed, and the bodies were incinerated. The other two groups were showered, their hair cut, and all of their valuables taken to be pawned by the army. After this procedure, they were put to work with very little food, and many died from the lack of nutrition combined with an overworked body. Most of the emaciated workers were either shot or gassed, and some were tortured for something as small as stealing a bar of soap. This torture usually involved a person's arms being tied behind their back, and then they were strung by their arms from a tree. There were also incredibly inhuman experiments done that were beyond what the imagination would ever think. Seven Jews would be lined up in a chamber, and then a shot would be fired at the end of the line, simply to see how many human heads the bullet penetrated. They would stick a person on an operating table, remove a vital organ, and then replace it with the organ of an animal to see how long someone had to live if the animal's organ was used as an alternative. Of course, there was awful chemical testing too, which usually involved some form of chemical being injected into a body, which often resulted in an agonizing death.
