While many people felt well informed about Nazi concentration camps, most do not truly understand the inner workings of the camps.

Prisoners were forced to participate in hard labor and were given small rations. The living conditions were extreme, and the use of torture was prominent. Within a number of camps, Nazi doctors used prisoners to administer medical experiments, often times resulting in death or extreme illness. Concentration camps were initially created to work, starve, and torture prisoners to death, but it wasn’t long before extermination camps were created for the sole purpose of killing prisoners quickly, efficiently, and in large numbers. While in control, the Nazis built six extermination camps: Treblinka, Aushwitz, Belzec, Chelmno, and Majdanek.
The Holocaust (1933-1945) The Holocaust was a big part of world history. According to “freedictionary.com”, the definition of Holocaust is “The genocide of European Jews and others by the Nazis during World War II”. It is derived from the Greek word holocaust, holos meaning whole and kaustos meaning burned. Aldolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany on January 30,1933 which was the beginning of the holocaust. Hitler had a plan to eliminate the Jewish population; it was a plan that he called “ Final Solution” which killed off about six million Jews, one million five hundred thousand of those Jews were children.
During the Holocaust, it is estimated that as a direct result, about eleven million people were killed (“The Holocaust”). A large number of these deaths occurred in concentration camps, which were camps used to torture and kill political prisoners, such as Communists and Social Democrats. Concentration Camps were horrific as many people were killed and tortured, and many people were killed before they even made it to the camps. Concentration camps were a type of camp that Adolf Hitler built as prisons for his political opponents. There were at least 17 different types of camps that included death camps and police camps for delinquent youths (Fordham).
They were placed into confinements called Concentration Camps. There, they were forced to work and were treated horribly. Often, Jews and other people in the camps were carried to gas chambers to be killed or lined up and shot execution style. This was called genocide. If the gas chambers or Nazis didn’t kill the victims held in these camps, they died from starvation, brutal and inhumane work environments, or disease.
Holocaust When Hitler became ruler of Germany, he decided to make his country a dictatorship. This caused his people to listen to the propaganda he made up. Every Jew was executed and only could bring a bag of belongings, which they soon lost. They were all sent to concentration camps, where they were separated from their parents and siblings. Jews from all over the world were worked to death and/or starved to death; as a result, nearly six million Jewish people passed away, being thrown in ovens to burn the bodies or buried.
