Usually by rail in sealed boxcars. Occasionally they might be marched there, but this needed large groups of armed guards as it offered too many chances of escape.
There were told that they were being 'resettled' in Eastern Europe. According to those people in the extermination camps who sorted the possessions that Jews took with them there were a large number of cooking utensils, and also musical instruments. This suggests that some of the Jews deported to the camps at least thought they might be starting a new life in Eastern Europe.The Jews thought that they were being sent to work camps, and not to death camps.
1) Work camps, where inmates were payed meager salaries for back breaking work. 2) Standard concentration camps where Jews were worked to death. 3) Death camps where the sole purpose was to destroy as many Jews as possible as quickly as possible.
Jews were killed in many various ways such as;Stavation - In the Ghettos where the Jews had only 153 calories a dayGas Vans - Used on the disabled.Machine guned - In to pits the Jews had dug out,Sent to -Death camps (Treblinka and Chelmno)Work camps (Aushwitz through selection)Concentration camps (Dachau)Death marches - At the end of the war, a womans work camp were sent to walk off a cliff and if they tried to escape they were gunned down
Yes. Hitler wanted to exterminate the Jewish people. This is a true fact. He created a massive network of death camps, concentration, camps, work camps, and ghettos designed for systematic elimination of the Jews and other Undesirables.
I believe the "Choosing" in the concentration camps when Hitler was ruling was when the Jews were being chosen for processing (death) because they cannot work. Usually, the ones chosen were weak, old, and unable to work.

the Nazi took the Jews to the camps. If the Jews where to old or young to work they would kill them by burning or shooting just because Hitler didn't like Jews. the Jews who work were work to death or hang.
The Jews of Sighet believed they were being deported to work in labor camps due to the Nazi deception about the true nature of the deportations. They were misled and unaware of the atrocities awaiting them in concentration and extermination camps.

All the jews had to go to the death camps...
false on both counts. Though this is what happened in concentration camps.

Elderly Jews were gassed on arrival at death camps, as they were no use to the Nazis for heavy manual work.
Some death camps existed to enslave the prisoners and literally work them to death in mines, quarries, factories, etc. Others, especially later in the war, existed solely to enact Hitler's "final solution" to the Jewish " problem", genocide of the Jews. Six million Jews died in the death camps along with thousands of Poles, homosexuals, mentally retarded etc. The program is today known as the Holocaust.
Jews, criminals, homosexuals, gypsies, little people, the mentally ill and many others were imprisoned and killed in concentration camps. Only a few able-bodied people were kept at death camps, so as to do all of the work required at a death camp. Everyone else taken to a death camp was killed.
