What happened to the women and children during the holocaust?

Answer 1

Women with children were more likely to be put into gas chambers. Women were often raped or forced to have sexual relations with officers for food and other humanly needs. They were put in concentration Camps. They didn't get any special treatment! Younger women that could work in work camps were saved most of the time. Very young children were not. Older women that were not seen as physically capable for doing work were not treated good either. women and men were separated when they first arrived at camps. If children were old enough to work, they often were allowed to stay with their parents. If they were too young to work, they were often sent to be gassed or to the crematories. Women, if found strong or suitable enough, were often sent to work in factories. children that were old and strong enough to work were sent to children camps, which held only children. they were taken away from their parents ad sent on their own. if siblings were lucky enough, they could stay together. most young children died very soon. As the men, women and children arrived they were sorted into groups, then they had to strip naked and one of the generals would come and take a look at them. if he beleived that they werent fit enough he would send them to the gas chambers. there the unfit women and children would die. the fit ones were sent to work in factories or out in the forests collecting wood.
