The Labour Camps consisted of work, work, work, cold showers, bitter food, well barley any food, and work. No clean clothes were given out unless someone died and still those clothes were never washed. Labour camps were a brutal and devastating thing to happen but they did, and some people who survived them are still living as though they were their today.Forced labor camps are where the prisoners in the camp are forced to work. These prisoners may be prisoners of war (illegal by Geneva Convention), political prisoners, ordinary criminals, etc.A labour camp was a place where the Nazi's sent the Jews to work for themselves they would make Jews make things like rubber and weapons such as bullets and ammunition,and also military tanks.

How was Krakow involved in the Holocaust?
Krakow is a major Polish city and came under Nazi rule in 1939. The city had a large Jewish population. In January 1941 the Krakow Jews were forced to live in a ghetto walled off from the rest of the city. Later, the inhabitants of the Krakow Ghetto were transported to Belzec, Plaszow and later to Auschwitz, which is only about 30 miles away. Oskar Schindler employed cheap labor from the Krakow Ghetto ... and this has made it particularly well known.
