most were killed upon arrival.
Killed if unfit to work but if they were fit to work, they would be sent to female concentration camp in auschwitz
Yes. Auschwitz was #1 an extermination camp for men, women and children and also #2 a slave labour camp for women as well as men.
Men and women were separated at the point of getting off the train when it arrived at Auschwitz.
The FranksOtto Frank was separated from his family, when the Franks were taken to Aushwitz and women and men were separated. This is the last time he saw his family.
Women's Orchestra of Auschwitz was created in 1943.
No. The question aludes to a popular misconception; in most death camps women and children were put into rooms which were made to look like showers, but were not. The actual showers were used, but children had no place in a death camp, only adults would work there. Auschwitz as ever is a slightly different story, people who arrived did go to the showers upon arrival and those going into the family camp may have women and children showering together, but there were very few of these.
They were used as slave labour. Auschwitz II, for example, contained a large women's camp.
The Jewish, if not killed by the Einsatzgruppen in mass shootings, they would be put into ghettos. From there on the Jewish men, women and children would later be placed on fret trains going from anywhere to Bergen-Belsen to Auschwitz.
Some, like Maria Mandel, the head of the Auschwitz Women's Camp. were put on trial, convicted and hanged.
Auschwitz did well financially as a factory. In modern terms, it made a profit of £125 million. It had 45 sub-camps dotted around next to it with Birkenau at the centre. As trainloads of Jews arrived, they were stripped of all that they possessed. These possessions were sorted out at a section of Auschwitz call 'Canada'. Most of those who worked here were young women.
Primarily it was European Jews (men, women & children) that were murdered, although it is likely that a small percentage of those killed were non-Jews.
More than 4 women died.
