Bergen-Belsen wasn’t just a concentration camp, it was used as many different things in the time of World War II. The stories of the people that actually escaped the prison were incredible. There were very few people that survived and most people died inside of Bergen-Belsen. There are even many memorials in honor of the fallen and the dead at Bergen-Belsen, as well as many other concentration camps around the world. Of course, the concentration camps are apart of national history, even if they were devastating. People back then were obsessed with power and that is one of the main reason for Jews dying in the concentration camps. Bergen-Belsen especially, is known as one of the worst camps for Jews to be transported to. Only few survived from Bergen-Belsen. One thing is for sure though, these events showed the true color and meaning of people being crazy with

Bergen-Belsen Have you ever hear of the Holocaust? Well according to history, it was one of the most sad and depressing eras. Although there were many camps created by Adolf Hitler, the Bergen Belsen camp was the worst womens camp there could be. Hitler was an important icon to this camp and the reason why it ended. ¨Adolf Hitler set up his first concentration camp in 1933, soon after coming to power.¨ (www.nationalarchives.gov.uk).
Aushcwitz has a train track going through it. Auschwitz was opened in 1940. It was the biggest concentration camp in the
Being in Belzec camp was a tiring and traumatizing thing that happened to the Jews. The victims of the Holocaust that were imprisoned in those camps had no way of getting out on their own. Someone was always watching. These innocent people were treated like animals. They were beaten, starved, and overworked all while fighting to stay alive.
During World War ll, Germany, led by Adolf Hitler, created many extermination camps for Jews. These death camps had a major impact on European society, and the world. One of these death camps was the Belzec extermination camp. It was established in 1942. How the Belzec death camp was started, how it was run, and how it 's prisoners were exterminated all explain the brutal World War ll death camp of Belzec.
Concentration camp and holocaust are well-known since the world war II. Most Jews were killed brutally in the concentration camp, some of them were shot, some of them were hung, some of them died because of hunger, some of them died because of the gas chamber. These made World War II the deadliest conflict in human history.
Life for these prisoners at the Auschwitz concentration camp had been incredibly scary and horrific. There were many different categories of prisoners. You had the Jews, Poles, Gypsies, Soviet POWS, Jehovah 's witness, and other ethnic groups. Out of the 16,710 prisoners that had been there, 1,055 were Jews. The main goal for the germans was to get rid of all Poles.
A train took them there and if they try to escape, they would be shot at. Jews had to work at concentration camps with horrible treatments while Jews at death camps would be killed by guns or poison gas and some would be experimented on. The Nazi’s tried to keep their mass killings of Jews a secret. However, when the war ended, the world was shown the horrific places the Nazi’s had built and the people were horrified of Germany’s actions.
In 1945 jews and many others types of people were taken from their homes, apartments, and other places and were taken to concentration camps. concentration camps where they kept them to kill, torture, and just to make them feel horrible and even worse. Auschwitz was one of the most well known camp it was more of a death camp in was first opened in April of 1940. It was more that 3.5 miles long so it was pretty big. Did you know that more than 6 million jews were killed in the holocaust
Auschwitz was the largest Nazi run Death camp. This camp was no ordinary Concentration camp; it could have changed the fate of the war. Auschwitz was the largest concentration camp and at its highest occupancy rate was at one point holding up to 1.1 million prisoners. Auschwitz was different from all the other concentration camps not only because of its huge size but also because, it dealt with its prisoners.
The sick Jews did not get took care of very well most of the people died that were in the nursing stations. The bergen belsen camp was the first actually decent camp It did not make you do any labour when all the other camps made you do stuff. Other camps had jobs you had to do but Bergen-Belsen camp had jobs that you could do you don’t have to do them tho. Bergen belsen camp had people dying left and right when at other camps this was not happening and this is when they started making the prisoners do jobs to make there blood flow. The highest amount of people dying a day at the camp was 1,500 people due to not have any blood flowing because they were sitting all the time.
Imagine being woken up at sunrise every morning to the sound of an excruciatingly loud bell and people already yelling at you, screaming at you, beating you, and treating you like you are a piece of garbage. During the holocaust millions of Jews and thousands of other people in concentration camps had to deal with that kind of torture every day. The Holocaust impacted the whole world by being one of the worst periods of time to date, ruining millions of people's lives due to the starvation, time spent in the camps, and the brutal living conditions they had to deal with. To begin with, the time spent in the concentration for some people was incredible. In some cases, people would spend 2 to 3 years in a concentration camp, but for those few unlucky souls, they could spend up to 12 YEARS in an array of concentration camps.
The small camp is where prisoners were kept in quarantine. Lastly, the tent camp was set up for Polish prisoners sent to Buchenwald after the German invasion of Poland, in 1939 (Purdy n.p.). Buchenwald Concentration Camp was very cruel to the people who were held captive there. Life at Buchenwald concentration camp was awful. Once people arrived, they were separated by gender.
Why Hitler Chose the Jews During the time Hitler was beginning to rise to power, a huge population of Germany was supporting the newly coming leader Adolf Hitler. Little did they know the horrible devastating mass murder of the Jewish people Hitler called “The Holocaust”. The Holocaust started on January 1933 and ended on May 8, 1945. The Holocaust was made purposely to eliminate the Jews and any other person and religion that got in Hitler’s and the Nazis way.
This was such a tragic time in history and we should all be thankful that our world isn 't like this. The Concentration Camps were made because Hitler hated the jews and wanted to kill all and they were kind of brainwashing them to tell them it is a wonderful place to live. When they were making the camps the Nazis would go around just shooting people for no reason. So Hitler and the Nazis captured the majority of the Jews and put them into these camps saying they should be here and that they deserve to died and it is all their fault.
