The concentration camp and extermination camp were well outside the town and surrounded by an exclusion zone.
Also because if they did, they would probably be captured and sent to the camp as well as the person they tried to save. Not to mention when they got captured, they probably would have been whipped.

∙ 14y agoThe Auschwitz concentration camps (I, II and III) were on a huge site well outside the town. The whole site was fenced off with three electified barbed wire fences and was patrolled. In addition, the was a 400 metre exclusion zone (about a quarter of a mile) round the outer perimeter. Any unauthorized person seen in the exclusion zone was arrested or shot.
Moreover, the residents of the town were not sure what was happening at the camps. They did, however, noticed that there was a lot of smoke and soot - and sometime a terrible smell, too. There were rumours that the Nazis were burning people alive.

∙ 14y agoThey actually couldn't do anything. If they did anything, they would be shot or be put into the concentration camps. The concentration camps were also VERY isolated, and the nearby towns had soldiers everywhere. Just think. What would you have done in that situation. Do nothing and stay alive, or rbel, and die painfully.

∙ 10y agoBecause there was no reason to. Concentration camps, when they were introduced (in Germany) in 1933 were heralded as a good, positive and effective solution to the civil problems.

Did kids go to Auschwitz?
yes. it didnt matter who they had. they took everyone and killed almost everyone. it didnt matter what age.
The residents of Auschwitz and other towns near concentration camps who knew about the camps but did nothing to stop them or tell the Jews?
It has become oh-so-trendy to regard people in that kind of position as guilty as guilty can be - on a par with the actual perpetrators. In practical terms, what were ordinary residents of the town supposed to do? Run around the Polish countryside shouting, 'There's a holocaust going on at Auschwitz'? Storm the camp? And, by the way, about 40% of the residents of Auschwitz were themselves Jews and living under very severe restrictions indeed ... There is a huge difference between bystanders who were actually in a position to 'do something' and those who were not.

What percentage of the residents of Auschwitz responsible for the holocaust?
One assumes that you mean the camp, rather than Oswiecim the town. Then if you discount the inmates, then that only leaves you with the guards and their families (those who were there); therefore 100%.
