What is an concentration camp??? By: Tamanesia Winters
How they was treated in concentration camps:??? • They were treated like nothing. • In both Nazi and Japanese camps inmates were exploited for slave labor and medical experimentation ,but the Nazis also established extermination camps…
When did concentration camps start???????? • The first Nazi concentration camp opened in 1993 in the month of March. • Concentration camps ended when Allied troops liberated them in 1945 in Holocaust.
How did the Nazis round up the Jews for concentration camps??????????? • Their method varied by areas in Portland. • Examples: They would pass legislation restricting where Jews could live, forming a ghetto that could be walled in. In Russia, they would just post a notice that all Jews within a certain area were required to assemble at a prescribed location from which they would board the deportation trains
How life in a concentration camp is like??????? • Life in a concentration camp was basically like death awaiting you. The guards and doctors would carry out experiments on the internees, often with no anesthetic. They were given basic clothing and little food. Each prisoner had a number tattooed on their arm and were treated as little more than that number.Families were split up with no regard for the age of children. People could be randomly killed for no reason at all.Most of the Jews were gassed as soon as practical after arrival at extermination camps. Those 'selected' for work generally had to perform hard labor, but a few were used for tasks such as sorting the new arrivals' belongings.Jews were forced to do work and were grossly ill treated and fed very little. Those who were not killed immediately died from overwork or starvation, or disease.
Adolf Hitler The Punisher!!!! Hitler ultimately wanted to establish a New Order of absolute Nazi German hegemony in Europe. To achieve this, he pursued a foreign policy with the declared goal of seizing Lebensraum (“living space”) for the Aryan people; directing the resources of the state towards this goal. This included the rearmament of Germany, which culminated in 1939 when the Wehrmachtinvaded Poland. In response, the United Kingdom and France declared war against Germany, leading to the outbreak of World War IIin Europe.
How many concentration camps are there???? • On 27th February, 1933, someone set fire to the Reichstag. Several people were arrested including a leading, GeorgiDimitro, general secretary of the Comintern, the international communist organization. Dimitrowas eventually acquitted but a young man from the Netherlands, MarianusVan DerLubbe, was eventually executed for the crime. As a teenager Lubbehad been a communist and Hermann Goering used this information to claim that the Reichstag Fire was part of a KPD plot to overthrow the government. • Adolf Hitler gave orders that all leaders of the German Communist Party should "be hanged that very night." Paul von Hindenburg vetoed this decision but did agree that Hitler should take "dictatorial powers". KPD candidates in the election were arrested and Goering announced that the Nazi Party planned "to exterminate" German communists. • Thousands of members of the Social Democrat Party and Communist Party were arrested and sent to Germany's first concentration camp at Dachau, a village a few miles from Munich. Theodor Eicke was placed in charge of the first camp and eventually took overall control of the system. • Originally called re-education centriesthe SchutzStaffeinel (SS) soon began describing them as concentration camps. They were called this because they were "concentrating" the enemy into a restricted area. Hitler argued that the camps were modeled on those used by the British during the Boer War. • After the 1933 General Election Hitler passed an Enabling Bill that gave him dictatorial powers. His first move was to take over the trade unions. Its leaders were sent to concentration camps and the organization was put under the control of the Nazi Party. The trade union movement now became known as the Labor Front. • Soon afterwards the Communist Party and the Social Democrat Party were banned. Party activists still in the country were arrested and by the end of 1933 over 150,000 political prisoners were in concentration camps. Hitler was aware that people have a great fear of the unknown, and if prisoners were released, they were warned that if they told anyone of their experiences they would be sent back to the camp. • It was not only left-wing politicians and trade union activists who were sent to concentration camps. The Gestapo also began arresting beggars, prostitutes, homosexuals, alcoholics and anyone who was incapable of working. Although some inmates were tortured, the only people killed during this period were prisoners who tried to escape and those classed as "incurably insane".
