Well basically concentration camps can either be a place for work, or a place to gas or cremate people. If you were under 15 or 14 you would instantly be sent to the chambers to be gassed. The same with old people, disabled people, or people they just straight up don't like. Also, sometimes they told you to go to take a "shower" to wash off the lice, and they would kill you, and then they would cremate your body as soon as possible. It was very sad, and terrible, and sick.
A good movie which shows the life inside a concentration camp is
" THE GREY ZONE "
Starring some high calibre actors such as Harvey kietel, focussing on the sonderkommando, a group of polish pow's in a concentration camp who were allowed to live longer in exchange for helping to usher the Jews into the showers where they were gassed, then helping to transport the corpses to the crematoriums and finally shovelling their ashes into the river before a revolt that damages one of the crematoriums.
Whilst this sounds graphic, it is not shown graphically and makes you visualise what is happening.
Highly recommended viewing.
