Lilliann Hays Ms. Rushfeldt English, Block C February 26, 2024 Violent Concentration Camps in Germany I can’t believe that concentration camps were actually a thing. Just the thought of it gives me nightmares. All of the gruesome torture that happened in these concentration camps was absolutely horrible! These people had to go through such cruel treatment just because they didn’t worship the right God, and that is just terrible. In Germany during World War II many of the Jewish people died or survived while trying to escape imprisonment for worshiping another God.

They didn’t really have the ability to learn in the camps because they were forced to do the same amount of work that the adults had to do.

From doing all of the work that they were forced to do, many died from exhaustion. How were they chosen to live/work? They were chosen to live/work by how old they were. The older they get, the worse it can get. There are also certain camps where the younger you are the worse it gets, and the older you get the better it gets. If this ever happens in the future, I hope we are better prepared for it. We certainly never want this happening again.
