When prisoners first arrived they were taken out of the freight trains. Afterwards they were herded into large areas where they were often sorted between the "healthy" and "unhealthy" people. People that were in physically good shape were sent to the next room to be completely prepared for life in the camp and the old, very young, weak, sick, etc. were sent to the chambers to be gassed and immediately killed. Men and women were also seperated. Then people would be forced to strip their clothing and put on the uniforms provided. The uniforms were often filled with lice. Then their heads would be shaved and they would be sent to the barracks to begin work in the "labor camps."
