The inmates in the camps were forced to work and listen to Nazi ideas all day long. Death camps were set up later on. The police and law courts created new laws including the death penalty. The death penalty was sentenced to anyone who had sex with a Jew, telling an anti-Nazi joke and listening to a foreign radio station. The law courts were under Nazi control and did whatever the Nazis wanted.
This period was known as the stage of final judgment. The camp was released by the Soviet Army (Russian), in 1945. It is believed that more than 1.3 million prisoners were executed in the concentration camp, mostly Jews, Gypsies and Poles. Today, the concentration camp of Auschwitz has been converted into a museum, in which are seen the atrocities committed during the Nazi regime. Bergen-Belsen The Bergen-Belsen concentration camp was initially intended as a prisoner war camp, where, be exchanged for German prisoners of war camp prisoners.
Second to Warsaw, located in central Poland held the second largest community in Europe, Lodz. The city of Lodz can be found around 75 miles southwest of Warsaw. Hitler surprised the world by attacking Poland; Poland fell within three weeks and after seven days on the attack, and Lodz was occupied on September 1, 1939. Lodz was only occupied for 4 days before the Jews became the main target. While Warsaw was fighting off the Germans the 230,000 Jews of Lodz began to feel the beginning of Nazi persecutions.
This plan of persecution and discrimination was carried out in multiple stages. First, various laws, were enacted in Nazi Germany before World War II broke out, in order to remove the Jews from civil society. Next, concentration camps were established. In concentration camps, inmates were forced to perform slave labor until they died of exhaustion or illness from a disease. Third, wherever Germany in Eastern Europe, specialized units called Einsatzgruppen were created to murder Jews and political opponents in mass shootings.
This symbolises how the Marquis wants to turn his wife into a literal object -a corpse- by beheading her, and then display her body in his bloody chamber, alongside his other wives whom he has gruesomely murdered. The Marquis not only kills his wives, he then goes on to make elaborate displays with their dead bodies, like they are valuable collectables. He clearly gets extreme sadistic pleasure form her pain, a pleasure which can only be stopped by the rescue of her mother, as Marina Warner writes: “Within a spirited exposé of marriage as sadistic ritual, she
Ghettos were temporary holding places for Jews. The Nazis wanted the concentration camps to exterminate the majority of the Jews, but the ghettos gave more opportunities for natural death (Byers 73). Many Jews were also forced to do labor in the ghettos, which sometimes caused natural death (Byers 73). Most Jews were moved to ghettos in the mid to late 1930’s. Lots of Jews were moved to ghettos in a “single stroke” on February 8, 1940.
In the past twelve years, reasons as to why women are being abducted, tortured, and murdered have ranged from forced prostitution to organ trafficking. These atrocities are viewed as an act of sexual feminicide. Since early 2002, two hundred and sixty nine women have been killed and four hundred and fifty women are missing (Fregroso 2). The phenomenon of these murdered women start from the conditions of the maquiladoras, where these women are coming from, how they are being killed, and what is being done to stop these killings. According to Astrid Gonzalez “Juarez is an ideal place to kill women, because you’re certain you will get away with it” (Dillon 1).
Later on murderers, prisoners of war and political prisoners were housed at Newgate. This was the first prison in America to use confinement as punishment for committed offenses. According to David Rothman “the development of incarceration as a general
Japanese soldiers would force one group of Chinese captives to dig a grave, a second group to bury the first, and then a third group to bury the second and so on. Some victims were partially buried to their chests or necks so that so that they would endure further agony, such as being hacked to pieces by swords or run over by horses and tanks. Mass incineration was a favorite kind of torture for Japanese soldiers. A Japanese soldier would bind Chinese captives together and pushed them into a pit where they were soaked with gasoline and burnt alive. An American woman, Minnie Vautrin, who kept a diary which has been likened to that of Anne Frank wrote: "How many thousands were mowed down by guns or bayoneted we shall probably never know.
Between the short five year period from 1992-1997, the inmate population in Texas doubled itself adding approximately 70,000 (Haney 2). After achieving one of the highest incarceration rates in the nation, Texas has built and now operates 80 correction facilities to occupy the growing amount of criminals (Haney 2). In Massachusetts, the overcrowding rate is 140% (“General Information of the DOC”). These statistics seem to only be growing exponentially, so the baggage that the problem brings will only become worse as well. With this increasing number of inmates, comes a necessity for more funding and more responsibility.
