Third, wherever Germany in Eastern Europe, specialized units called Einsatzgruppen were created to murder Jews and political opponents in mass shootings. Finally, Jews and Romani were ordered to be live in overcrowded ghettos, there they were then transported by freight train to extermination camps. Extermination camps were camps that were built by Nazi Germany, during the World War II, that were designed to kill millions of people by gassing and extreme work under terrible living conditions. The Nazis were not alone in this effort. Parish churches and the Interior Ministry supported the genocide by presenting birth records showing who was Jewish; the Post Office delivered the deportation and denaturalization orders; the Finance Ministry took away Jewish property; German businesses fired Jewish workers and took away stock that belonged to the Jews.

The march lasted 6 days, the march was liberated on April 9th. During those 6 days more than 2,000 prisoners died from either the elements, or were shot by German guards.

Finally, once inside the gas chambers, carbon monoxide or powdered Zyklon B would be poured down from the holes that were put on the roofs of the gas chambers. (Holocaust, 2008) The camp commandant was required to watch every gassing, and supervise both the preparations and the aftermath of the gassing. From 1941 – 1942 carbon monoxide gas was used to kill prisoners, which would take about 36 minutes to kill off all 900 people in the gas chamber. From 1942 – 1943 Zyklon B was used to kill prisoners, which would take about 15 minutes to kill all 900 people in the gas chamber. The Zyklon B had a paralyzing effect on the lungs, which ensured death.

Several thousand Jews who survived the ghetto’s liquidation were taken to Plaszow, a forced labor camp run by the sadistic SS commandant Amon Leopold Goeth. Moved by the cruelties he witnessed, Schindler contrived to transfer his Jewish workers to barracks at his factory. In late summer 1944, through negotiations and bribes from his war profits, Schindler secured permission from German army and SS officers to move his workers and other endangered Jews to Bruennlitz, near his hometown of Zwittau.
