Obviously, it was absolute hell. The process was a prolonged attack on the **whole person** of each victim. Please bear in mind that before being sent to a camp many victims had been forced to live for several months of longer in ghettos where they didn't have enough to eat. Then there was the rail journey in enclosed cattle trucks (rather like box cars) to the camps. In many cases it was a very long journey indeed, without food and often without anything to drink. So it began ... I hope this gives you some idea. Joncey
I doubt anyone is going to feel qualified or inclined to answer that question here. You need to get a book or two written by survivors and witnesses. Look for a book called Medical Block Buchenwald, or a book by Fania Fellon. Or just search on Amazon or Ebay using the keywords "Auschwitz" "Dachau" or "Ravensbruck" for all the human depravity you can handle. --- Excellent books by survivors include: Eugen Kogon, The Theory and Practice of Hell (1974 edition). The author was held in concentration camps from 1939 and 1945 - and survived. Elie Wiesel, Night The author was in his mid teens when he was sent to Auschwitz and then on to Buchenwald. This book is less analytical and more 'descriptive' than Kogon's, but both are very good.
Life in the camps was pretty good, especially as concentration camps go...certainly much better than the American camps that held the Japanese!
The food rations were adequate, and many of the camps had a variety of activities to entertain the inmates. They had movies, live theater/vaudeville, orchestras, soccer leagues, swimming pools, cantinas, brothels, a post office, and their own currency.
It was only near the end of the war, when the allies bombed the rail supply lines, that life in the camps became brutal...very little food, medicine, etc., and many inmates died of malnutrition/starvation and typhus...BUT NOT ONE INMATE DIED FROM GASSING OR STEAMING, as there was NO Nazi extermination policy!
The Holocaust is a BIG, FKN LIE!
It was horrifing! i mean sent to one of those camps knowing all the suffrage that goes on there, not knowing if you wll live or die, all the cruel punishments they will make you do. they were scared, terrified, and curious of whats next.
Well their is 2 sides of this answer and that is the SS officers who was running it and the prisoners in the camps
For the Prisonners, Life in a extermination camp was tough because thousands of people is killed daily and the living conditions was very poor because people catched many kinds of lethal diseases
For the SS Officers who ran the camps,Its the total opposite, Their lives was very good abd they all had luxury items and frequently had parties once every week or 2 just to celebrate their killings. The officers their didnt care who they killed and how many they killed.
scant clothes, even in dead of winter, scant food all the time, constant fear that you would be next for death or experimentation, hopelessness
The concentration camp were full of blood, dead bodies, etc. ugh!
The Jews were sometimes tortured and their conditions in the camp were very poor.
No, of course not.
they were sent to consentration camps. but there were only a few living there.
Human lives were exterminated, or used for cruel experiments.
because they kept all of the men together and all of the women together
Jewish people were a major group but many others were also. Japanese, Africans and many other groups were also.
much like any other, they were just a bit busier.

No, of course not.
