Auschwitz

Auschwitz was a concentration camp. It's not something one "wins."

They died in a few minutes.

Parts of Auschwitz I and II have been preserved and in part restored and are now a museum and a World Heritage Site. It is visited by tourists and survivors today.
A tourist attraction.

At least 3.5 million people died in Auschwitz.

Auschwits was used by the Nazis as a death and work 'camp' for those that did not fit into their aryan race. Dr Mengele the famous auchwits doctor was based there and even preformed his experimentations there. Many Jews, Gypsys, Russians and many others died there at the fate of the Nazis.

On April 29th 1942, the first of the Slovak Jews arrived at Auschwitz. They were taken to the two gas chambers and murdered. Their bodies were buried in giant pits. This was the start of the mass murders with which Auschwitz is associated - the deliberate and planned murder of, in this case, Slovak Jews.

At Monowitz (Auschwitz III), which was owned by the conglomerate I.-G. Farben and produced polymers, some very basic medical attention was sometimes provided, especially for slave workers that the company had trained. There are a handful of stories of a few prisoners at other private entreprise sub-camps occasionally getting very basic treatment. At Auschwitz I and II there no medical treatment available; on the contrary the SS doctors used prisoners for experiments.

Auschwitz II (also known as Birkenau) was on the main site, about 1.5 miles from Auschwitz I. Please see the related question.

The Nazis wanted to destroy the Polish leaders and the elite that could provide new leaders to replace those killed.

to the left of the tourist centre, past the bookshop.

people would be required to report to the town square where they would then be organised into their transports, no doubt a cattle car adapted with barbed wire and bars. The journey would not be long from the ghetto to Auschwitz, however in summer the carriages were stifling hot and in winter freezing cold, there was a high chance that a number of people in each carriage would have suffocated or be trampled to death.

There was no daily quota, there were days where no one died and days where 30 000 died.

One factor was if people were unable to work, then they were of no use. Otherwise it was a question of supply and demand; if there was little need for workers, then only the healthiest would avoid the gas chambers.

Auschwitz 3 (Monowitz) was one of the first and the biggest sub-camps of KL Auschwitz. At the beginning it was to become a factory for the German company IG Farben located in Oswiecim, which had been producing synthetic rubber and liquid fuel. Authorities of the company decided to benefit from the nearness of the Auschwitz camp and they signed a contract with the SS which allowed them to use prisoners as a cheap labor.

(in the US) Because they violate a statute which calls for a death penalty such as Murder - Rape - Treason - etc.

Because the Germans didn't like them..?

All four members of the Frank family in hiding (Anne, Margot, Otto and Edith) were initially sent to Auschwitz from Westerbork. On 30 October 1944 Anne and Margot were transported to Bergen-Belsen, where they both died in March 1945. Edith Frank died at Auschwitz in January 1945, and Otto Frank survived in Auschwitz III.

Some bread or potato and sometimes some cabbage, too.

in a big building (called Barracks) in tiny beds with some sort of bar around the beds. you can google "Auschwitz concentration camp" on google images to see

You feel ignored because you feel like no one is paying attention to you. 0__o

Camp Lieberose was a concentration camp in World War II Germany, located in Lieberose, Germany. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lieberose

It depends on how much they're billing. Just kidding. But, billable hour commitments do have something to do with it. Even without that, it's not uncommon forlawyers to work an average 10-12 hours a day in the office. Because of their commitment to the client (especially before trial or filing of a brief, etc.), they usually work additional time at home, ontravelor anywhere away from the office.

They slept on wooden bunks and were only allowed two blankets per person.
