Jews, homosexuals, political opponents, gypsies, Jehovah's Witnesses, Poles, and basically anybody who the Nazis did not like or who opposed their regime.
what wer some events that went on in the death camps in auschwitz? what wer some events that went on in the death camps in auschwitz?
Horrible, some starved but most died of diesease. The Nazis dropped of trailors full of dead children. ___ In death camps (that is, extermination camps) children were gassed as soon as practical after arrival at the camps - usually within a matter of hours.
The extermination camps relied mainly on gassing to kill. Some prisoners were shot and at some of the camps they were worked to death on inadequate food.
Some Concentration Camps were used as Death Camps, gassing and cremating hundreds of victims at a time.
You could write about Anne Frank, death camps, concentration camps.
Yes some people survived concentration camps, but 6 million people died. The word Holocaust means death by fire in Greek. and some of the people died that way but most died of exhaustion because they were forced to run two miles each day
Some death camps existed to enslave the prisoners and literally work them to death in mines, quarries, factories, etc. Others, especially later in the war, existed solely to enact Hitler's "final solution" to the Jewish " problem", genocide of the Jews. Six million Jews died in the death camps along with thousands of Poles, homosexuals, mentally retarded etc. The program is today known as the Holocaust.
In the death camps Jews,disabled people, homesexuals, Gypsies and other groups of people who where not seen suitable for Hitlers plans of World domination, where taken to Death camps. First there was the selection, some people where taken straight to the gas chambers and killed, and others where chosen to work depending on there health, Education and personal skills. They where given around 1500 calories a day which is not enough to survive on if you are a working human.
The people who were murdered in the Nazi Death Camps were mainly Jews, Gypsies, Homosexuals, some Polish people and mentally and physically challenged people.
over 60 million jews were in concentration camps
Well while in death camps, some tried to escape, but most of them didn't go to far before other Nazi's captured them. Others, however, felt that if they followed what the Nazi's said the Nazi's would let them go. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Most Jews were executed or died in the process of trying to survive in death camps.
You may be thinking of a movie called "Playing for Time" where one concentration camp had an orchestra made up of prisoners, but this was an exception. The main purpose of concentration camps was to round up Jews, as well as other groups deemed "undesirable" by the Nazis, and subject them to forced labor, starvation, torture, medical experiments, and ultimately death. Some were literally worked to death, or tortured by medical experiments till they died, or put in gas chambers.
