Because they are more than half starved, sick, very cold (had have been for a long long time), weak... And they are so scared that they can probably not get enough people willing to take such a big risk to make a big enough resistance so that there are enough sick, weak, unarmed prisoners to take on the healthy, warm, well dressed, well fed, armed SS soldiers.
Large-scale resistance efforts by prisoners were often hindered by factors such as fear of retribution, lack of organization, and overwhelming power differentials between prisoners and their captors. Additionally, prisoners may have been isolated from each other or lacked a cohesive leadership structure to coordinate a unified resistance. The harsh consequences of failed resistance attempts may have also deterred individuals from taking part in large-scale efforts.

The mechanical advantage is given by the ratio of resistance force to effort force. It represents the factor by which a simple machine multiplies the force applied to it. Mathematically, it can be calculated as mechanical advantage = resistance force / effort force.
The three kinds of levers are classified based on the relative positions of the effort, the resistance, and the fulcrum. In a first-class lever, the fulcrum is between the effort and the resistance. In a second-class lever, the resistance is between the fulcrum and the effort. In a third-class lever, the effort is between the fulcrum and the resistance.
Effort force is the force applied to overcome resistance force in order to move an object, while resistance force is the force that opposes the motion of an object. Effort force acts in the direction of motion, whereas resistance force acts in the opposite direction. The ratio of effort force to resistance force is a measure of mechanical advantage in simple machines.
The ratio of resistance force to effort force is equal to the mechanical advantage of a simple machine. This ratio indicates how much the machine amplifies the input force to overcome resistance. It is calculated as the ratio of the distances from the fulcrum to the points where the effort force and resistance force are applied.
In a lever, the resistance force is located between the effort force and the fulcrum. This setup creates a mechanical advantage that allows a smaller effort force to overcome a larger resistance force. The position and distance of the resistance force from the fulcrum determine the effectiveness of the lever system.
A fulcrum is the fixed point around which a lever pivots. The resistance is the force opposing the movement of the lever, while the effort is the force applied to move the lever. The position of the fulcrum relative to the resistance and effort forces determines the mechanical advantage of the lever system.
On a second class lever, the effort is applied at one end of the lever, while the resistance is located in the middle of the lever, between the effort and the fulcrum.
Class 2.
where your hand is, your lower hand is the fulcrum.
In a second-class lever, the resistance is between the axis (fulcrum) and the effort. Examples include a wheelbarrow or a nutcracker.
The force that opposes the effort force is called the resistance force. It acts in the opposite direction to the effort force and may come from factors like friction or gravity.
