How did the Jews die ?

Picture
     After that in 1934 the Nazis and Hitler were in control of everyone of Germany. (Jewish virtual library) Hitler had a campaign against the Jews. They portrayed the Jews as evil and cowardly and Germans were hardworking, courage, and honest. (Jewish virtual library) They destroyed Jewish and businesses. Many Jews were beaten and killed, 30,000 Jews were arrested and sent to concentration camps. Many camps were made like, the forced labor camps, transit camps, and death camps. Special death camps were set up to do nothing but kill Jewish people and other undesirables such as the Gypsies. (Jane Shuter)

     The camps that Jewish people were sent to were parts of the Nazis, there was mass murder of the Jews in there. (Florida center) One of the concentration camps opened in March 1933(Florida center) The Nazis largest concentration camp facility was located nearby the provincial polish town of Oswiecim in Galicia and was made on April 27, 1940 (Gerald Posner and John Ware) The concentration camps were separated from the road by some barbed wire fences. Most of the time the Nazis killed the Jews by getting them naked and taking them to gas chambers. 200-250 people were sent in each chamber, it was dark in there except for a small light in the ceiling and the spy hole in a door. (Gutman Israel) The process of gassing was to first pump hot air from the ceiling and then pour crystals of cyclone on people, and with the hot wet air the crystals evaporated and from two to ten minutes everybody would die in the gas chamber. (Gutman Israel)

   

Concentration Camps

     Adolf Hitler was the man that let the order for all the Jewish people to go to the concentration camps. This camp in the point of view of the Jewish people was a simple camp where they had to stay for following their religion. It ended up being a place were you lived or you died. There are stories of people that live in those camps or lived what happen before they were taken to the camps. The greatest example of these stories is the book of “Anne Frank the Diary of a young girl”. It feels disgusted to know that the hate of one person for a race can end up being the “death of approximately six million Jew’s by Nazi” ("united states holocaust memorial museum" 1). These Jew’s that are people just like us that suffered for their religion which made them even stronger than what I thought. These camps were like a jail were people died for no logical reason. I believe the death of this people is abhorrent. Still, the death of this people cannot be replaced so it makes someone reflect on their own life. “Hitler was a coward” (teacher) for not facing what he did, but instead killed himself and his family suffered the same feelings almost when the War World II ended. Hitler was born in April 20, 1889 and died in April 30, 1945("time line" 1). This date makes a person think about what has happened in his life throughout these years. Has all the years been to destroy the Jewish ?


 Ghettos

Picture
    During the Holocaust, ghettos were a central step in the Nazi process of control, dehumanization, and mass murder of the Jews. 400,000 children were put in 1.3 square miles crowded and lived in the streets without any adult taking care of them.(Corni, Gustavo. Hitler's Ghettos: Voices from a Beleaguered Society 1939-1944. London: Arnold, 2002) There were at least 1,000 ghettos established to let Jews survive but in a harsh condition utterly as bad as death camps like Auschwitz.
