Lucille Eichengreen And The Holocaust

What is the Holocaust? The Holocaust first started on January 30th 1933 and it didn't end until May 8th 1945, it was also called Shoah. The main person that was in charge of it was Adolf Hitler, he was the Chancellor of Germany and he was appointed by President Hindenburg. He then named his soldiers Nazis. The person that I have chosen for my holocaust is Lucille Eichengreen. They were to blame for the killing of 6 million jews.

The survivor that I have chosen to focus on for my report is Lucille Eichengreen. Lucille was a survivor of the Lodz Ghetto and the Nazi German Concentration camps of Auschwitz, Neuengamme, and Bergen-Belsen. She is originally from Hamburg, Germany. She was first deported in 1941 with her mother and her sister,

The first concentration camps in Germany were established soon after Hitler's appointment as chancellor in January 1933. Hitler then authorized SS chief leader Heinrich Himmler to centralize the administration of the concentration camps and formalize them into a system. In these concentration camps the jews would be murdered, put into a gas chamber, or worked to death. They would only put ones that looked healthy to worked and the others would be killed. The jews only received three meals a day, in the morning they would only be allowed coffee but it was mainly just boiled water with a grain based coffee substitute, and they were mainly unsweetened. At noon they would be allowed about a liter of soup, it had potatoes, rutabaga which is a variety of a turnip, and then small amounts of groats. This soup was not tasteful, new jewish people that arrived were not able to eat it, and if they did it must be because they were starving. Supper consists black bread, sausage, or margarine which is a butterlike product made of refined vegetable oils. In the camps, there were about 232 thousand children and young people up to the age of 18 and more than half of them were deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau camp. This concentration camp included about 216 thousand Jews, 11 thousand Gypsies, at least 3 thousand Poles, over 1 thousand Byelorussians, and significant numbers of Russians, Ukrainians, and others. The majority of them were deported to Auschwitz along with their parents in various campaigns directed against whole ethnic or social groups. Slightly more than 23.5 thousand children and young people were registered in the camp, out of the total of 400 thousand registered prisoners.Auschwitz Concentration Camp opened in former Polish army barracks in June 1940. Twenty brick buildings were adapted, of which 6 were two-story and 14 were single-story. At the end of 1940, prisoners began
