Concentration camps were mean. The prisoners had to sleep on hard wooden bunks. They had insufficient food and were basically treated like slaves.

From what I've learned, they were transported to concentration camps in cattle cars on trains. It was a long trip, and they did not stop to use the restroom ...

Once there, they would be split into two groups, one group the weaker (e.g. women, children, elderly, sick, etc.) and unfit to work. They were often killed. The stronger group would be stripped of their clothes, shaved, and they no longer had a name. They had a number.

They were starved, overworked, there was lice, the living conditions were horrendous! Often more people died of exhaustion, hunger, or disease than being gassed. Once people were dead, their bodies were buried or the Germans tried to destroy the evidence.

Those who survived concentration camps are amazing. It is unimaginable doing this to humans, but even more so to survive that.
