To make the extermination process more efficient. Executing the Jews at source on an individual basis was proving problematic, it was more efficient to have camps where the victims could be sent for processing.

When did the US hear about the Nazi concentration camps?

The first concentration camps were intended mainly for political opponents of the Nazis. One of the very first accounts by Hans Beimler, who escaped from Dachau in May 1933, appeared in the Soviet Union in August 1933 and was translated into several languages, including English. It is a deeply shocking account, which was later supported by the testimony of others. The first news of the extermination camps used largely for mass murder (that is, for the Holocaust) first reached Britain in November 1941 from the Polish Underground. The report related to mass shootings and to Chelmno camp. It met with skepticism in the British Foreign Office. By the spring of 1942 much more information of a similar kind reached Britain and the U.S. However, in both countries the governments were reluctant to publish full details. The motives for this are unclear. Jan Karski, a member of the Polish Underground, who was very well informed about the Holocaust, wrote a book on the subject. It appeared during the war in the U.S. and by the end of the war it had sold about 400,000 copies. Joncey


Why did the Germans set up concentration camps?

To exterminate those people that were deemed imperfect. The Nazi view of perfection was blond, blue eyed muscular types and most people in the world are far from that. Also experimentation of chemical warfare and also to inspire fear and terror in those that stood against them. Atrocities is always a good way to frighten people, unfortunatly for the Nazis it also inspired people to stand against them _________________________________________ The Nazis were opposed to chemical warfare as they did not want to risk harming their own people. It did not frighten or inspire as it did not exist. They sent millions to the death camps because they wanted to live in a place without those types of people, killing them was the most efficient way of doing this.

What kind of agent is used in the gas chamber for training?

You may want to change your question to the past tense unless you are talking about gas chambers today which uses a chlorine gas......in KZs they used Zyklon B which is a rat poison. --- Zyklon B (hydrogen cyanide) was used at Auschwitz-Birkenau and at Majdanek. The other extermination camps used carbon monoxide. Some smaller camps, such as Stutthof, also used Zyklon B.

Why didn't Adolph Hitler visit camps?

Because if the secret of the concentration/extermination camps came out to the public, he didn't want the public to know he commissioned them - Most of the documents he signed regarding the activities of the camps were kept secret from everyone but his top officers. He did send out high-ranking Nazis (Like leader of the SS, Heinrich Himmler) to visit the camps and report back to him with information on a regular basis, however. But he tried his damnedest not to be connected with the those camps.


Did the Allies know about the camps before the army went over there?

if referring to concentration camps Washington had received information about such camps but there was nothing that could be done due to war time. the matter was stressed to President Roosevelt by Jewish groups during th war.........___Ordinary concentration camps (like Dachau and Buchenwald, for example) were public knowledge before the start of World War 2.
