Nazi Concentration Camps

The first Nazi Concentration Camps opened in March 1933 (at Dachau and Oranienburg) - long before the start of the Holocaust. Initially, they were mainly for opponents (real and imaginary) of the regime On the whole, Jews were not sent to camps simply for being Jewish till 1938 after the Kristallnact.

The first Nazi Extermination Camp to open was Chelmno, where the first routine mass gassings began on 8 December 1941. There had been some earlier, 'experimental' gassings ... Mass open-air shootings (many on a vast scale) had started in June 1941.

There were plenty of concentration camps for World War 2. Auschwitz concentration camp is a very well known camp. Copy and paste this URL and put it into the tool bar. It will take you to a great website. I found out a lot of information on this camp. http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/article.php?lang=en&ModuleId=10005263 You could also try googling the question you have because they have some pretty good sites to visit.

Please see the related question, too.

Yes, the USSR had many "concentration camps" but they were mainly forced labour camps, their was 53 separate camps and 423 labour colonies. Most of these were located in Western side of the USSR and along South and South east of the Soviet Union. These were called "Gulags". The USSR hold people in these Gulags for the simplest of crimes eg. Littering and all the way to Political Prisoners.

I don't know where Auschwitz-Birkenau was located, but the word I just bolded was the largest and most efficient death camp existing out of all the others in Hitler's Europe. This camp is located in Poland though.

A number of ways. One of the most horrible ways were the use of Gas Chambers, which pumped out the oxygen while pumping in deadly carbon monoxide.

Another "method" for killing people was the art of slow hanging, in which the prisoner was bound and then slowly lowered while a noose was around his/her neck.

But these are just a few of many gruesome methods.

please i m looking for the meaning of campboss and the defeniation please please

Jews were miinly sent to Auschwitz between 1942-1944 but some Jews were sent to Auschwitz in 1940-1941 and 1945.

Though there is very little documentation about Eva Braun, it is very unlikely that she knew very much, if anything, about the concentration camps or any other Nazi plans. She was not a member of the Nazi party and had absolutely no interest in politics. Hitler was adamant that the two were never seen together and they even slept in separate bedrooms on the few occasions that they lived in the same house.

About 1.3 millon

No, that's one estimate of the number that were killed there. The extermination camp at Birkenau (Auschwitz II) was a highly efficient killing centre. Trainloads of Jews arrived, the majority was classified as unfit for work and were dead with 24 hours.

The number of Jews living in the Auschwitz complex as slave labourers was not more than 20,000 at any one time.

Once one was actually a prisoner in a camp escape was extremely hard. At Sobibor, one of the most easterly camps, there was a riot: some prisoners managed to flee and to hide in surrounding forests and afterwards to join a group of guerrillas. There were also a few successful escapes from Auschwitz and Treblinka.

They were treated poorly! Horrible! The Nazis starved them, beat them,did whatever they could to put them through hell!!! They felt good about it, too. They also used them as targets, they would play a game called 'rabbit hunt' and stick a piece of paper on their back (on the left side) and make the Jews run and they would practice shooting at them. The Nazis looked down upon the Jews and treated them as though they were below human. They sent some of them to gas chambers and if one of them were too sick to work they would be sent to death camps to, you guessed it, die.

They worked them very hard and fed them little food and water. this made many Jews die a premature death. Older people, sick people, handicaps, and really young children were hit hardest because they are not as able as the other prisoners.

In May 1944 he was sent to Auschwitz III (also known as) Buna or Monowitz) and then moved under appalling conditions in January 1945 to Buchenwald.

The Jewish prisoners performed whatever kind of forced labor their Nazi captors demanded. The work was menial and often difficult. It was meant to be humiliating and to wear down the prisoners, most of whom were being starved while expected to work outside in the extreme heat or extreme cold. Jewish prisoners were beaten if they did not dig trenches fast enough or lift enough heavy objects.

none really if you where lucky you where feed stale bread crust and a very small portion of water.

--------------------------------------

there was food, but the Jews were not allowed to eat it.

Yes, there was many young Jews killed during the Holocaust. Out of the 6 million people who were killed, I'm sure there were a lot of little kids killed because after they got out of the concentration camps there weren't that many left.

Majdanek was the first extermination camp and major concentration camp to be liberated (22 July 1944). Although the SS blew up some of the installations, there was enough left to provide evidence of mass gassings and to enable the Soviet forces that had liberated the camp to work out - together with accounts from survivors - how the camp had operated. Journalists and photographers from other Allied countries were invited to visit the liberated camp. Previously, many in Britain and the U.S. had been somewhat skeptical about accounts of Nazi genocide. This went some way towards dispelling such doubts.

assuming that you mean how many were dead there, as opposed to anywhere else or had died at any other time: Almost all of the dead that had died before the 19th had been disposed of, so the only dead were from those too weak to march out of there in the (just over a) week before they were liberated. The figure i think is about two thousand.

Anne Frank was moved by the Germans from Amsterdam to Westerbork, from Westerbork to Auschwitz-Birkenau, and then to Bergen-Belson where she died. How many miles did Anne travel while prisoner of the Germans?

2000 miles

No, during the Holocaust, Men still had more power over women, In the Concentration Camps most Woman and Children under the age of 15 years old were immediately gassed whereas most men who were fit enough were sent to do Labor Work.

Mengele performed medical experiments on the inmates. This included atrocities such as sterilization and unnecessary surgery (even sewing twins together to make them "conjoined"). Perhaps most famous is his experiments on twins. He believed that he had a rare opportunity to make sure a set of twins would die at the same time, and he would perform autopsies. He was known as the Angel of Death.

• Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Denmark, Hungary

A lot !!!!

On 9-10 November 1938, about 400 Jews killed and a further 30,000 were seized and sent to concentration camps. Of these, 2,000 were dead within six weeks. Note. The number of Jews killed that night was for a long time given as 91. This was the official figure given some days later by the Nazi regime. More recently, research (cited in the German language Wikipedia article on the subject) has carefully examined the available evidence and concluded that the real figure was about 400). == ==
There was a desperate stampede to get out of Germany and Austria. Have a look at this question: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_Kristallnacht_and_why_is_it_a_significant_event
