Most prisoners were in their prime, between 18 and 50. But some outside of these ages pretended to be within these ages in order to survive.

Dachau was the first Nazi Concentration camp. It was first just used for political prisoners but as time went on more people were put into the camp.

What concentration camp was also a training camp for female SS members?
Ravensbrueck was used as a training centre for female concentration camp guards.
the best word that i can recomend is xenophobia.
The Nazis identified two types of camps:
- work camps - people were inadequately fed and overworked, they were worked to death
- death camps - people were warehoused then executed in mass
Second answer with additional information. These camps were called "Concentration Camps". The term had first been used to explain what the Spanish did in Cuba in the late 1890's. In Cuba, these were not death or slave labor camps; therefore the name at the time in Germany did not necessarily arouse suspicions that the Nazi's had in fact created camps to carry-out mass genocide. Often these major camps had sub-camps built nearby to assist with the various tasks assigned to the camps. For example a major death camp could have several sub-camps established to specialize in slave labor, located near the location of the work being one. For example: The famous Auschwitz/Birkenau Extermination Camp at Oswiecim-Brzezinka had 51 sub-camps.
How many women and children died in concentration camps?
The answer is essentailly unknown. However, because most women and children were chosen for the gas chambers during selection, the number is estimated to be very high. Do remember that the holocaust extends beyond the concentrion camps. People were also shot dead in massive pits by special killing units, known as the Einsatzgruppen. The killings mainly took place during the Nazi invasions of Eastern Europe, where most Jews and other "inferior" races lived at the time. Though at first the victims were men, the murders soon increased in brutality to women and children. It is estimated that 1.5 million people in all were killed through the Einsatzgruppen.
not all here are somme percentages, Like gandi -0.001% Hate Gandi-99.999% Quite fair

Ethically speaking Should Holocaust medical experiments be made public?
On what grounds do you believe that the experiments and results are currently a secret?
The Nazis 'sent the Jews away' in order to use some of them as slave labour and to kill them.
How did Jewish kids feel when Hitler put them in those houses to die?
How would you feel, I bet they would feel the same way.
However, human nature is such that "hope" and belief that nobody would/could do that to another person probably meant that the realization of what was happening did not hit home until the gas stated to come in and people started to scream.
How did Hitler annihilate Jews?
Well hitler did a lot of things. He would first torture them or even threaten them. But i guess the most famous way he did it was the he would put hundreds of jews in place that has poisons gas and were killed just like that. Sorry if my answer is sort of vague .... I'm kinda new!
