So it wasn’t the easiest thing to do in the middle of December when it’s snowing and below freezing. What went on inside the camp was horrible they stole from the Jews and they ripped out their gold teeth but the thing that was the worst was what they did to the twin children. See they would test the twins by injecting them with drugs and putting them in high-pressure chambers. After they ran out of room, they put the Jews in a crematorium. The Nazis started burning all the Jews on open fire
In 1933, the Jewish population of Europe stood at over nine million. Most European Jews lived in countries that Nazi Germany would occupy or influence during World War II. By 1945, the Germans and their collaborators killed nearly two out of every three European Jews as part of the "Final Solution," the Nazi policy to murder the Jews of Europe. During the era of the Holocaust, German authorities also targeted
Jarret Kirkham Dr. Denning Contemporary World History March 5th, 2014 What: The document is combined with 2 articles written by Rudolph Hoss and A French doctor during the Holocaust. The two men writing these documents describe the cruelty of how gas chambers and crematoriums were used in Auschwitz-Birkenau and how many Jewish people were killed daily in them. The first article written by Rudolph Hoss describes mainly the numbers of which Jewish individuals were brutally killed in gas chambers within only one day. He speaks about how at one point, the most people killed in one day reached up to over 9000 bodies. He also explains that of the 4 major chambers, they experienced several maintenance issues.
The rest of them were sent either to the gas chambers or to the ovens. Some of this ones that survived were the ones that would take the corpses from the chambers to the crematory and they had to burn them. These prisoners were in a unit that was called sonderkommando. When burning the corpses there was not only one burned at a time they would stack a bunch of them and burn them all together. In1944, there was an overpopulation in Auschwitz because there was a Hungarian group that was going to be exterminated because they were considered as Jews by the Nazis.
Others would claw at the doors until their fingers bled. Once everyone in the room was dead, special prisoners assigned this horrible task (Sonderkommandos) would air out the room and then remove the bodies. The bodies would be searched for gold and then placed into the crematoria. Although Auschwitz I did have a gas chamber, the majority of the mass murdering occurred in Auschwitz II: Birkenau's four main gas chambers, each of which had its own crematorium. Each of these gas chambers could murder about 6,000 people a
The Mind of a Prisoner by Wyatt Smith Senior English, 03 John Carroll School, Bel Air 3-35-09 Outline Thesis: The Holocaust was a psychological test on the Jewish race that forced them to overcome both physical and mental agony that the rest of the world sees as totally inhumane. I. In Both Night and Man’s Search for Meaning, the Nazi’s took over the Jews and set out to exterminate the entire race. A. The Nazis entered the towns of the Jewish people, acted very friendly but soon after removed all of the people.
And also invaded them because of the jewish people . When jews died, Hitler used creamatoriums to get rid of the dead bodies quickly. Creamatoriums are normally used for dead bodies and to have the dead persons ashes in memory of them. Hitler used these differently to get rid of jewish bodies. Most slave workers were creamated in these creamatoriums when they died of starvation.
Hitler deliberately expressed his hate toward Jews and gave ample warnings, as it was all written down in his autobiography “Mein Kampf”. In 1935, the introduction of the Nuremberg Laws stripped German Jews of their citizenship and civil rights. Jewish rights were steadily restricted, as in many cases Jewish political and intellectual leaders were the first to be sent to concentration camps. The Night of Broken Glass, on November 9, 1938 lead to the death of approximately 100 Jews, while other 30,000 were sent to concentration camps. Jewish businesses along with almost every synagogue in Germany were damaged or completely destroyed.
Jackson J. Spielvogel, author of Hitler and Nazi Germany: A History, says, “About 40% of Europe’s 1 million Gypsies were gassed and burned.” Most people think of the Jews being the only people being wiped out in large numbers, but obviously that was not the case. A camp was opened up in Auschwitz-Birkenau sector Blle know as Zigeunerlager or Gypsy camp. In this gypsy family camp the prisoners were forced to wear black triangles. They were given tattoos that stated with the letter ‘z’ followed by camp numbers. For example ‘z2∙9881’ was someone’s number.
Mel Mermelstein mailed in a letter to the IHR about his provided a very detailed description of this time at Auschwitz and all of his observations and surroundings. When the IHR didn’t reply to Mermelstein, he filed a lawsuit. Judge Thomas T. Johnson decided that it was “a fact that Jewish Mino 3 were gassed to death at the Auschwitz Concentration Camp in Poland during the summer of 1944.” (Gottfried 49) In some countries in Europe, where the Holocaust occurred, have set some laws, put there foot down, frown upon the denial, or however you want to put it. It’s sad to deny the Holocaust in particular countries, because there is proof! Whether you want to believe it or not, is up to you,
