From 1933 to 1945, Jews were sent to concentration camps, these were used as a way to exterminate the Jewish population. In the beginning of the Holocaust, many people were sent to labor camps but died of infections or from working so much.
“Children mourned as they watched their relatives and neighbors lined up into thee gas chambers, and watching the corpses pile up into a fire fueled by their own fat.” This is the daily life of the prisoners in the death camps during the Holocaust from 1933 – 1945. For the first time in history Jews were singled out for total annihilation. The Nazis used death camps to torture and kill Jews during the Holocaust.
