How did people arrived at the Auschwitz Camp?

Answer 1

The inmates of the Auschwitz camps were transported by train more than any other way. The Auschwitz concentration camps were built to handle large numbers of people very efficiently and that included a rail track that ran into Birkenau, one of the camps that made up the Auschwitz complex. Prisoners were offloaded directly into the camp from the train.

During the operation of the concentration camps, more than 7000 staff were assigned to them. They had rather more choice in their mode of transport than the prisoners and many may have traveled by road rather than train.

Answer 2

The Germans siezed them out of their homes, churches, and work places. They were often piled into railroad cars with no food or water, and no sanitary facilities, and shipped across country to the camps. Cars would sit in the sidings in the hot sun, or icy winter for hours and even days before arriving at the camps. Some were marched off the train and right into death chambers. Others were marched for miles to camps.

Answer 3

The Nazis forced people onto trains that took them to concentration camps. Sometimes they would take the entire population of a city to the concentration camps at one time.
