Auschwitz

Mostly Jews, but Communists, Gypsies, Gays and Prisoners of war were also sent there.

The main site at Auschwitz was over 40 square kilometres in total.

Auschwitz comprised of 3 main camps and 45 sub-camps.

Numbers of people sent to the camps are estimated to be, at least, well over a million Jews from all the countries of occupied Europe, over 140,000 Poles (mostly political prisoners), approximately 20,000 Gypsies, over 10,000 Soviet prisoners of war, and thousands of prisoners of other nationalities. The majority of the Jewish deportees died in the gas chambers immediately after arrival. The estimated total number of victims killed is 1.1 million.

The overall size including the Sub Camps is over 60 square miles, this also Include the factories near Auschwitz.

Auschwitz I Stammlager, Auschwitz II Birkenau and Auschwitz III Monowitz

There were no bedrooms for the prisoners in the concentration camps. There were long row buildings or block buildings they were called. They held close to a hundred people in some of them. All they had were wooden shelving stacked and built big enough for people to lie on them. They crammed them full and many had to sleep on the floors or outside. Some concentration camps didn't even have it that good.

It was a part of the "Final Solution" to the Jewish "problem". Jews were taken there from all over Europe in crowded cattle trucks. Those who survived the journey were split into two groups, those to be immediately killed and those who could temporarily be useful to the running of the camp. Most were stripped and herded into "shower" buildings where they were sealed in & Xylon B was dropped in through a hatch in the roof. This killed them & their bodies were disposed of in purpose built crematoria which were running day & night.

yes he did after his mother died he moved to Vienna and took menial jobs like working in a library. he sold the paintings he done when he could. In 1914 when the first world war started he volunteered for service and was accepted into the 16th bavarian reserve infantry regiment.

Of those who received numbers at Auschwitz-Birkenau, only 65,000 survived. It is estimated that only about 200,000 people who passed through the Auschwitz camps survived.

Auschwitz, also known as Auschwitz-Birkenau, opened in 1940 and was the largest of the Nazi concentration and death camps.

It closed down on January 1945 when the Soviet army entered Krakow

(a large city in Poland) the Germans ordered that Auschwitz be abandoned.

work is liberty.

On the eve of World War 2 there were an estimated 9.4-9.5 million Jews in Europe and after the war about 3.4 million.

they were stored in a section of the camp called 'Kanada'. Periodically they would get sent back to Germany, or used in the Winter Relief effort, or sold in town.

Auschwitz was a real-life concentration and extermination camp from the Second World War. John Boyce had Bruno refer it it phonetically as 'Out-With' to showcase his innocence and naivety.

Most people taken into concentration camps were Jewish people. Anyone who hid a Jewish person or who had any contact with a Jewish person was taken to a concentration camp. Sometimes, they would have people who did not obey the military commands.

Auschwitz I, II and III were liberated by the Soviet Army on 27 January 1945. The remaining prisoners (about 7,500) were nursed back to health, but some were extremely ill and died after being liberated. (The survivors included a baby girl who had been born about 36 hours before the Soviet Army arrived: mother and daughter both lived).

In 1947 the Polish government decided to turn parts of Auschwitz into a museum. The museum is standing and is open to the public.

Because we were never in war with them. We were really only in war with Japan, because of the bombing of pearl harbor and stuff. Germany just sorta got in our way.

Germany declared war on America in December 1941. Atomic bombs weren't used because Germany surrendered in May 1945, before atomic weapons had been produced.

1. Whippings.
2. Having big, hungry dogs unleashed on you.
3. Being made to spend a whole night squashed together with three other people in a really tiny cell, then having to do a full day's work.
4. Wrists tied behind the back, then hoisted off the ground.
5. Death by hanging on a short drop.
6. Death by starvation.

Every age of Jews were sent to the camps, from newborns to centegenarians.

The first group of Jews was sent to Auschwitz in March 1942.

They met the notorious SS Officer Dr. Mengele at Auschwitz.

The allies after the war didnt rebuild Birkenau gas chambers because they were responsible of killings of thousands of jews

Calling it 'Eating' is quite misleading. But it was three times in a day, they were served 'tea' and soup.

Different categories of prisoner would be given different rations. The Jew's ration of 200 Calories per day was almost never met, as though this much food was ordered, often some would be spoiled and that which was not spoiled would often be reduced by anyone picking the best bits before it got to the end-user.

If you have seen Boy In the Striped Pyjamas you would kind of get the idea of what they wore in some concentrationn camps, faded blue and white striped jumpsuits. But in some the wore old, big, Grey, baggy and stinky clothes or jumpsuits.
Blue or gray stripe pajama type tops and pants. It wasn't much. No coats were given in the cold weather.
