What was a death march in the Holocaust?

Answer 1

AnswerJews were forced to walk long distances from the concentration camps, they were being evacuated before the Red Army could find out what the Nazis had been doing. You could not prove that a death caused by freezing or starvation was the Nazis fault. If they fell or could not keep up, they were executed or perhaps beaten to death. Once they got to the next camp they were often held inside the fence with little to eat if they got anything at all. Then they were told that everything was about to change and that they had to go to the showers. Some of the showers were actually the gas chambers. They were called death marches because the only real outcome was death.
