What is the least painful death?
not sure if this is the least painfull but its pretty painless. carbon monoxide poisoning
i believe the least painful death is dying in your sleep which probably happens when your old or when your time has come to die, but i believe that's it.
EpicVids88 says...
I agree, Carbon monoxide is pretty painless, but however. If a fairly big explosion explodes right infront of you, your blown to bits 99.7% of the time. So, this is no pain, over in 0.00000000000000001 of a second.
But death in sleep, isn't really a DEATH. its just natural. its a NON-NATURAL thing to happen.
Example.
Not everyone dies by a ton block landing on them or a arrow through the head, or grenade.
Dying buy sleep (no disease or problem, just old age) is natura;

Why were Jews and other undesirables first imprisoned in concentration camps in early 1930?
Jews and other people were imprisoned because it was believed that they would infect the purity of the Aryan people and nation. In other words, they were feared to have eventually destroyed the Aryan race.
While the above is true, the Nazi's needed a scapegoat, and played upon long standing hatred, fear and misunderstanding of Jews. Most political systems throughout the world, throughout history have tried to find or have a scapegoat.
It benefits a government to proclaim it is protecting the general population by having laws against a minority. These laws are often turn to focus upon other minorities. Jews to Gypsies for example.

What did freed Jews do when released from concentration camps after the war?
Many Jews went to Israel after WWII ended.
Immediately after the war, many Jews returned to their hometowns to find their homes inhabited, their belongings repossessed, their graveyards ransacked, and their persons unwanted. Many returned to the very camps in which they had been tortured, which were now termed "Displacement Camps" and run by the Allied Military Occupation. Eventually, they put enough pressure on the International Community (along with Zionists in Israel and the United States) to secure a Jewish State for them to go to.
A death camp (or extermination camp) was a Nazi camp intended and designed for the sole purpose of killing the inmates, usually with special apparatus, such as gas chamber, specially designed for mass murder.
The first death to become operational was Chelmno, where routine mass gassings of Jews started on 8 December 1941.
Chelmno was followed by:
- Auschwitz II (Birkenau)
- Belzec
- Treblinka II
- Sobibor
- Majdanek (one section of the camp)
Note that in some camps the inmates were worked to death on grossly insufficient food. This applies in particular to:
- Auschwitz I and III
- Majdanek (the other section)
These camps are often also called death camps.
The death toll at all the major "ordinary" concentration camps was high. At least two stand out:
- Stutthof (near Danzig, Poland). Like most camps, this was a large complex of camps. The estimated death toll is about 65,000.
- Bergen-Belsen (near Hanover, Germany). In the later stages of the war this was used as a dumping-ground for inmates moved out of Auschwitz and other camps in the east. It became hopelessy overcrowded and insanitary. Estimated death toll: about 50,000 of whom about 75% perished in the typhus epidemic that gripped the camp in early 1945.
These camps are sometimes also referred to as death camps because of the high death toll.
How did they survive at Bergen Belsen?
They survived by luck more than anything else. Getting a job inside would increase one's chances of survival. Getting a job in the kitchens or anything with potential access to food would have been even better. Or a job where they could gain access to anything that they could use to bribe a guard.
Nazi concentration camp in Poland?
It had a dual function: it was a concentration and extermination camp. The first means that the inmates were forced to work (often to death), the latter means that parts of it were built to kill the Jews (gas chambers, crematoria). It was also the place where medical experiments were carried out on humans with the leadership of J. Mengele. He experimented on twins and dwarfs.About one and a half million Jews were killed in Auschwitz-Birkenau.More than 20,000 people could be killed with the equipment they had in a single day.
