After the Jews had been arrested and sent to concentration camps, they were forced to work unfair jobs.
For example, the Jews were sent to nearby Nazi houses to feed them and be their slaves.
Another thing they had to do was build. They would build anything the Nazis wanted them to.
After about a month of that, the Jews were told they were going to a shower, and killed by a very dangerous gas.

In concentration camps, Jews were subjected to forced labor and were assigned various roles based on the needs of the Nazi regime. These roles included working in factories, construction sites, agriculture, and other arduous tasks. Some Jews were also assigned administrative roles within the camps, such as serving as clerks or kapos (prisoner functionaries). However, it's important to note that the work carried out by Jews in the camps was under extreme conditions and was often part of the systematic oppression and dehumanization they were subjected to.

What is the difference between a transit camp and a ghetto during the Holocaust?
When Hitler gained he enforced strict laws on Jews that just kept getting harsher and harsher. Ghettos were usally a sectioned of area in a major city suronded by barbed wire fences and gaurded by Nazis. Ghettos were the place were all the Jews and other undesireables being persecuted by Hitler were sent. These places were impoverished and filthy. People lived and worked in the ghettos but many were forced to do cruel jobs ebforced by the Nazis. When the ghettos got to full the Jews were rounded up and sent to concentration camps. Before the Jews were sent to the concentration camps they were sent to transit camps. Transit camps were where Jews stayed until they were sent to the concentration camp. It was sort of a sorting ground like some may have been sent to Auschwitz well others were sent to Birkenau. Transit camps were similar to concentration camps but the conditions were significanty better.

Why did the Germans follow Hitler and how did that lead into the Holocaust?
Hitler was a great speaker and had much power in his words. He took advantage of the current situation in Germany (economic crisis), and he used the Jews as his, and the Germans' scapegoat (don't know what the word means, look it up). He gave the Germans more jobs, the Jews jobs (sending Jews to concentration camps), and also focused on "brainwashing" the children by making them believe his "solution" was correct, which was actually very smart. Also, he sent more intelligent people to concentration camps, such as political leaders, professors, and many others, leaving Germany (sort of) vulnerable. The children sometimes ratted out their own parents if (their parents) they were against Hitler. The children thought they were doing the right thing. HOPE THIS HELPS!!
What did Hitler do with Jews and why?
He, via his henchmen, sent the Jews to death-camps. That was because Hitler believed that the Jewish race, in particular, was a 'lower' race than others, and that the Jews where to blame for, sort of, everything bad.
Why were Nazi camps established?
To put all their "undesirables" in one place. Sort of like American Reservations for the Native Americans or American Concentration Camps for Americans of Japanese decent after Dec. 7, 1941 when the Japanese attacked the USA at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Then, in January 1942, Germany decided to kill all the Jews they could get their hands on, and many of the camps, became sites of gassing and cremation of bodies.

What was slave labor in concentration camps?
German concentration camps were mostly extermination or death camps designed to murder the inmates, primarily Jews. Some camps also sent out inmates to be used as slave labor. Slave labor was often outside the camp at a factory, railyard, rock quarry, underground mine, etc. Also all camps used the inmates to perform some sort of work at the camps themselves. All the German camps were operated in total violation of international law and well outside all standard norms of behavior.___One needs to distinguish between the extermination camps and the other concentration camps. (The Auschwitz group of camps and Majdanek were dual purpose camps that combined both functions).Slave labour usually involved working for up to 11 hours a day, six days a week, on inadequate food, under the supervision of the SS, with savage punishments for even minor breaches of camp discipline.The work that slave labourers had to do included: quarrying, agricultural labour and working in the chemicals and armaments industries.
Why were Nazi Death Camps made?
Death Camps: Hitler created the camps so he could quietly and efficiently kill the Jewish population. Concentration Camps: Used as a sort of prison by the Nazis for the duration of the war. They imprisoned people who committed "crimes" against the Nazi regime.

Prisoners in concentration camps were often tattooed with identification numbers, though they were also identified by their provided registration cards and uniforms with identification badges. Some camps also used colored triangles to categorize prisoners by their supposed "crime" or status, with Jews wearing a yellow triangle.
