Where is death row in Michigan?
it's the name of a unit in a prision that has inmates who were sentanced to death. //It depends on what state you live in. For California, all prisoners that received the death penalty are confined in San Quentin, just north of San Francisco, CA. There is no other prison in California that deals with death penalty prisoners. Texas's death row is at Huntsville Prison, Huntsville, TX. I know of no state that has two separate prisons that houses death row inmates. For the women that are given the death penalty, they spend the years until execution in a women's prison, only transferring right before execution to the men's facility.//

What did Germans do with the prisoners so they wouldn't be liberated?
They killed a lot of them, many were shot or starved, but the thing that killed most of the prisoners was the death marches that the prisoners were forced to undertake. This involved the prisoners, who were already worn out and undernourished, to walk hundreds of miles in extremely cold weather, without any protection or warm clothes, and millions of prisoners died that way.

What is ironic about the prisoners reaction to the threat of death that the air raid brings from the book night?
The prisoners in the book "Night" react to the threat of death from the air raid with apathy and indifference, which is ironic because they have already experienced so much suffering and hardship. This shows the dehumanizing effect of their experiences in the concentration camps, where death has become a normalized part of their existence.

What is ironic about this phrase Auschwitz?
The phrase was used by the Nazis purposefully so that the people coming there would think that it was a work camp and that there was a possibility that they would someday be released if they were cooperative and worked. There were thousands and thousands of Jews arriving each and every day. There were not enough German guards to contain them if they decided to riot and overthrow the Germans. So the phrase was used as a purposeful deception - and, unfortunately, it worked. The phrase is tragically ironic in that Nazi scientists planned out the diets of the prisoners at camps like Auschwitz. The prisoners were given just below the amount required to survive. As they worked, they were using these calories. As long as the prisoners worked, they were dying a death of slow starvation. The only liberty planned for the prisoners was death, and the work done at Auschwitz was the easiest way for the Nazis to reach that goal.

How long did death camps operate?
Just before the Allies arrived to liberate the camps, the Nazis would force prisoners on a so-called "Death March". During these marches, prisoners would be forced to walk until they succumbed to the elements, starved to death, or were randomly shot by a guard. Some of the camps ran right up until the day they were liberated by the Allies.
