Did Jews go to the left or right to die?
Each of the concentration camps were arranged in a different manner, so it would depend on the camp they were sent to.___The only camp that carried out routine, large-scale selections was Auschwitz. (All the other camps, except Majdanek, were either extermination camps or 'ordinary' concentration camps, where all prisoners had to work). From April 1942 all new arrivals at Auschwitz were admitted at Auschwitz II (Birkenau). Those selected for work were sent to the right; the others were sent to the left and killed as soon as practical. ('Left' and 'right' relate to facing into the camp). The expressions sent to the left and sent to the right are sometimes used in Holocaust literature.At all extermination camps a very small number of new arrivals were selected to help with the killing process or, to be more precise, with corpse disposal and with sorting the possessions. Those selected for this work were simply pulled out of the line of new arrivals.Apart from Auschwitz, the only other camp that was both a labour camp and an extermination camp was Majdanek. Essentially, it was an exceptionally harsh concentration camp, but its gas chambers and crematoria were sometimes used as a back-up killing facility when other killing centres were 'over-burdened'.

How was the buchenwald concentration camp different from Treblinka and Auschwitz?
1. Auschwitz was a combined extermination camp (part of Auschwitz II) and a vast complex of concentration camps with 45 sub-camps. The only other dual purpose camp of this kind was Majdanek, which was much smaller.2. The Auschwitz group of camps was the biggest and had the highest death toll of all (about 1.15 million dead).3. Because of its dual role, Auschwitz had more survivors than many other camps. Nearly all the survivors were from Auschwitz I, III and the subcamps.Some people of the Sonderkommando - that is the group of prisoners forced to cremate the corpses after they had been gassed - also survived. (Belzec and Chelmno, for example, which were 'extermination-only' camps and served noother purpose at all, had only two known survivors each at the end of World War 2).4. Auschwitz has acquired an iconic status - if that is the right term - over and above that of any other Nazi camp. Before the term the Holocaust came into widespread use in the late 1970s people sometimes referred simply to Auschwitz. It was a kind of short term for the Holocaust.Now, how far (and in what sense) these things make Auschwitz unique is something you will have to decide.
