Nazi Concentration Camps

About half the 300 prisoners who escaped were recaptured soon afterwards. They split into small groups, and the group of nine men headed by Alexander Pechersky made its way eastwards till it made contact with a group of Soviet guerrillas in Belarus. They joined the group and fought as part of it ... Pecherksy lived in the Soviet Union till his death in 1990.

(The other leader of the breakout, Leon Feldhendler, was murdered by Polish antisemites in January 1945).

there was no daily quota, the gas chambers were only in opperation for about half of the time that Auschwitz was open. The main gas chambers were not on-line for much of that time.

At the peak Auschwitz could murder 30,000 in a day, however this number was unsustainable over a long period.

The Jews kept at these camps had lice and the diseases that came with them. At the begining they had access to cold water showers but when the camps began to be liberated, the guards left and the water was shut off. I highly doubt there were showers. Many who weren't gassed died from disease. One of those diseases was Typhus (not exactly sure if spelling is right). This disease was developed from POOR HYGIENE. Anne Frank died from this disease, along with her sister, Margot.

Janowska concentration camp was created in 1941.

The Sonderkommando were those Jews in the Death Camps that were in forced labor for the Nazis with one very specific task, running the furnaces that would incinerate the Jews and other victims who were previously gassed to death.

It depends on which one you want to know about because they were all liberated on different days and sometimes different years.

When it became obvious to the members of the German High Command that the war was lost, they began to order all prisoners marched out of the camps, and mass-marched in the direction awayfrom the advancing armies. The camp, if ti was a work camp, was then abandoned, or if it was a death camp, it was destroyed, as best as they could. At least, that was the plan. But the Allies from every direction were advancing too fast, and many of the camps - including death camps - were captured intact, with prisoners still there.

To make the extermination process more efficient. Executing the Jews at source on an individual basis was proving problematic, it was more efficient to have camps where the victims could be sent for processing.

No. He was outside Germany when the Nazis came to power and never returned.

During the Holocaust, Jews were sent into the concetration camps as prisoners and/or slaves.

Other than that, before the Holocaust, Nazis sent enemies to the concetration camps.

The extermination camps came into most use during the Holocaust. Before that, it was used for expeirimenting and enemies.

Cuba: The Spanish Army's General Valeriano Weyler y Nicolau aka "The Butcher Weyler" had camps known as reconcentradoserected during 1896 to pen up 500,000 peasants who allegedly supported rebels in an effort and to quell the rebellion in the War of 1895....200,000 died of disease and starvation.

From 1942 on they were divided into 'fit to work' and 'unfit to work'. Those classed as 'unfit to work' (on grounds of age, for example) were gassed as soon as practical. Before 1942, at many camps the men were subjected to various initiation ceremonies, which included severe whippings and the like.

As the Soviet Army approached, most of the prisoners were taken on a death march to the camp at Gross-Rosen in the bitter cold. (It was January 1945). The SS tried to cover up what they had done by blowing up the gas chambers and crematoria. On 27 January 1945 the camp was liberated by Soviet troops, and in many countries the day is now Holocaust Memorial Day.

Bergen-Belsen was a concentration camp. It was NOT a death camp.

The main location of Concentration Camps were either in Germany or Poland. However, there were concentration camps in; Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Channel Islands, Croatia, Czech republic, Estonia, France, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Serbia and the Ukraine.

Bergen-Belsen (near Hanover, Germany) began as Stalag XI-C, a German POW camp designed to hold French and Belgian troops taken in 1940. Then, for a while it was used as a camp for Soviet prisoners, most of whom perished there.

In 1942 the camp was transferred to the SS for use as a 'Medical Recovery Camp'. In 1944-45 it was used as a temporary transfer point for slave laborers from the large camps in Poland who were being moved to avoid the advancing Soviet forces.

It eventually held as many as 60,000 prisoners and while it wasn't an extermination camp, it was hopelessly overcrowded and insanitary. Early in 1945 typhus swept through the camp and thousands died there every month, with more then 50,000 total deaths.

It was liberated on 15 April 1945 by British forces. They found 'walking skeletons', and the camp was littered with corpses. It was a scene of indescribable horror. The camp was filmed by the British and the film was shown in British cinemas and worldwide. For most people it came as a shock.

When it was liberated by the British Army on 15 April 1945, they were greeted by a sight so horrific that initially the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) was unwilling to report it until 19 April 1945.

The British Army ordered German doctors and nurses to tend the sick and issued an immediate appeal for British personnel to volunteer to help there.

All Nazi concentration camps and death camps were run by the SS (except in 1933-34).

Many Germans regret the holocaust. But there is still a group of people that believe Hitler was a rightful ruler and the Jews deserved to die. Some even believe it never happened because a) they regret it so much they want to pretend it never happened.

Concentration camps were used to record data about the human body, to eradicate the Jews and other minorities.. They were probably for finding out information about the female body and its differences to the male body.

Most prison and internment systems separate men and women.

Those in charge of the cruelty and death that were being enacted in the camps. Often times, however, the Nazi guards would round up all the prisoners and force them on death marches, which would always end with the guards forcing the prisoners into a body of water and machine-gunning them.

no one cares i got the same problem she is a minor character in the Holocaust because when you search her in google or yahoo you will find the same exact information which is just one paragraph filled with nothing but trash.

In the Pacific theater, the Japanese military outlook provided no mercy for Allied soldiers that surrendered. The Japanese believed in fighting to the death. Because of this, Japanese prison camps were essentially concentration camps. Allied prisoners died in the thousands from disease, overwork, and malnourishment. However in Europe, they were distinct. Concentration camps housed those deemed unfit, or in some way non-Aryan. People were put there not because they were soldiers, but because they were civilians. Allied prisoners of war in Europe generally received better treatment, and were not put to death on the scale of those in concentration camps.
