Camps
Concentration
camps also known as labor camps in which prisoners were forced to perform
labor for the Nazi. Although death was still around the corner, death
was everywhere, even in labor camps. You were shot killed if you could
not perform well as others, or if you were too weak or old. Food supply
was low, Jews starved and were given a few rations of soup and bread a
day. People found themselves very starved that if a person droped some
soup, many people jumped to the scene and scooped the mud with their spoons
and stuffed it into their mouths where the soup had fallen. There were
many selections, in which doctors checked the Jews if they were too weak
or old to continue, and if so, the doctor would raise an arm and the Nazi
soldiers escorted the man to a group in which they were going to be killed
shortly after. In concentration camps, they have been given serial numbers
in which they were called by, they now had no use for a name.
Extermination
camps were aslo reffered to as death camps. Here, Jews chances of survival
was very low. Jews and other sub-humans were most likely to be killed.
Nazi had many tactics to annhilate the Jews. They first started to fire
at them with small arms and threw them into pits. This did not work as
planned, this method killed very few using up a lot of time. Later on,
Nazis created Gas Chambers which killed as many as 6,000 per day. They
carried the bodies to crematoriums by wagon loads so they can be burned
to ashes which were then later thrown into the lake. Nazis told the Jews
that they were going to be taken into showers. In there, the door were
shut and shower heads released a chemical known as Zyclon B.
