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.
Why did they Jews go to concentration camps?????? • The Germans were in a tough financial era and Hitler thought that it might help the Jewish people were blamed since they were some of the richest people in Germany at the time. Then, the Germans turned on the Jews. The people thought that Hitler was going to evict the Jews out of their homes and take their money so they could give money to them. So the Jews were forced o live away from everyone else. Then they realized that the Jews had taken some of their own precious items, and they decided to put all the people away from everyone and everything so they could do whatever they wanted to them and no one would ever find out. The other people around the world were not blamed for Germany's financial problems so they were doing okay except for the fact that the Nazis were going to kill them all. If they had the chance to. Which they thought they did until they were starting to attacked by just about everyone in the world except for Japan and I think Korea.
Where was the first Nazi concentration camp located??? • First Nazi concentration Camp near Munich in southern Germany, established in 1933. It became the model and training center for all other SS-organized camps. In World War II the main camp was supplemented by about 150 branches in southern Germany and Austria, which were collectively called Dachau. It was the first and most important camp at which laboratories were set up to perform medical experiments on inmates. Such experiments and the harsh living conditions made Dachau one of the most notorious camps, though it was not designed as an extermination camp.
How many people were killed in concentration camps??? • According to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum: • In 1933, there were approximately 9 million Jews in Europe. By 1945, the Nazi's had reduced that number to about 3 million. Roma (Gypsies) were also sent to the concentration camps, resulting in about 200,000 Gypsy deaths. Physically and / or mentally handicapped, homosexuals, and Polish intellectuals accounted for at least another 200,000. This totals about 6,400,000 victims of the concentration camps. • The Nazis also killed between 2 and 3 million Soviet prisoners in labor camps or executions. Add to this the non-Jewish Poles and Soviets sent to forced labor who died due to malnutrition, unsafe work conditions, disease and "experimentation." • The exact numbers may never be known, but hopefully this gives you some idea of the magnitude of the Nazi inhumanity.
