If anyone were to trip or fall they would be killed without any hesitation. Once the Nazis decided they had ran enough, the ones who had lived went on a train to go to Gleiwitz. On the train, a leader of the camp would throw some kind of food in the middle of the train for them all to fight for. After a while everyone went through another selection and if they did anything wrong they would be blown up. After people had died the strong would strip them of their clothes and all the food that they had to help themselves.
The Holocaust is a genocide that killed about six million Jews that started in January 1933 and lasted until May 1945. Many families were taken from their homes and put on cattle wagons, they were brought to various concentration camps like Auschwitz, Buchenwald and Buna. In the memoir, Night Elie Wiesel’s family is taken out of Sighet for a year and a half, with the struggle of living each day but luckily he survived. All were put through harsh conditions like being starved for days by not receiving all rations of the meals and only given a small portion of bread and soup. At these camps everyone was forced to march, if you fell behind or got weak you would be beaten or killed.
The Nazi regime killed about six million jews during the holocaust. During the 1940s German authorities targeted Jew and many other people, they would be put in death camps and forced to do hard labored. The atrocities the Jewish people had to face was terrifying. Going day after day not knowing if you will be the one selected to die;having your love ones die and suffer. Doing hard labor and very little food.
The jews were beaten and given small rations of bread and soup. They lived in barracks with dirt floors with multiple people sleeping in the same area. The death marches were another form of mistreatment. Death marches torchered the jews because they had to march to their death. The Nazis made them march to another camp if the jews stopped the would be shot or trampled.
Humans were stripped of their rights to use a bathroom and were forced to use the dirty outside like dogs. Prisoners were also dehumanized by the conditions of the camps. The labor that the Jewish people endured in the concentration camps was brutal and exhausting. The cruelty of the officers there was intense. Prisoners were forced to carry 25 kilogram boxes of goods to their camps from the trains on which they came.
They were pretty much owned by Adolf Hitler and were under his control. They had no say so. Some died as soon as they got there, beaten, or worked to death. They also ate horrible food that wasn’t beneficial to them. For example, in Night they had to run in the freezing cold and couldn’t stop or slow down or they would be shot.
Finally, the Jews are brought to concentration camps, so they see no one except other prisoners and only other prisoners see them. In these camps Jews rarely are given food and are forced to work. Many people die and suffer in these
The Jews would be forced that they were going to take a shower, and then they would be forced into this room where they would then be gassed and killed. A lot also died from poor nutrition and hygiene (Doc 6). They were fed occasionally and were not able to clean themselves up and
They are guarded by armed men and barbed wire fences. In the camps prisoners are burned in chimneys, beaten by inmates and guards, and worked harshly. The constant pain, death, and exhaustion felt
The Nazis treated the Jewish people as less than human; for example, they fed the Jews very little food and put them in barracks
Edicts were made, one which being every Jewish person had to wear the yellow star to be marked and separated from other races. In the very beginning of the Holocaust, the Jews were told they could take one sack of personal belongings with them, but their sacks never even left the ghetto’s of where they lived. The Jews were forced to have their haircut, then their heads shaved. They had one pair of clothes or barely any clothing at all. For food, they had very tiny amounts of rations.
They were put into camps in the middle of nowhere. Their so-called “house” was poorly built, they had very thin walls, the house always leaked whenever it rained, they had to make their own furniture, the food wasn’t very good, and there was a fence keeping them in. Many people died trying to get out of the camps. Many innocent people were taken into these camps, a lot were even arrested.
The Holocaust is a time in history when millions of people were persecuted in Europe by being sent to live in ghettos and eventually being deported to concentration camps where they were systematically annihilated until the Allied forces liberated the remaining survivors. The Jews were moved to the ghettos, because Hitler pushed the Jews to move to the east, then they concore move of the east and move them more to the east. Then “there was no more room for them to move to the east, so they built ghettos for them to live” (Byers 32). But his true intentions were to “separate the Jewish people from manly Germans and also other races” (Allen 37).
Jews were moved to the camps to either work or be killed (Veil 113). The Nazis also wanted to keep the children, but only twins because the Nazi scientist wanted to experiment on them (Veil 115). The Nazis had a plan called the System of Death where they told all the Jews that they were going to take showers and clean off and the Nazis took them to a medium sized room where they all stripped down getting ready for showers. The Nazis would then put some Zyklon B pellets into the chamber where it reacted with the oxygen in the air and turned into chlorine gas and all the Jews were dead in minutes. They then would force some other Jews to carry the bodies to the crematorium where the bodies would be
Daily Life at Concentration Camps Starving, cold, unclothed, sick, and hard working people were all put in concentration camps and treated horribly. The Jewish workers worked hard all day everyday or else they would get killed. The way the Nazi’s treated the Jews was extremely bad, the Jews would not get food, clothes, beds, and other necessities. There were all types of camps that had all kinds of jobs, you were assigned a job and didn 't get to pick a job. The Jews had a very compact schedule, they were busy all day, never any time to waste.
