In january of 1933 Alois Hitler took over in a time of panic and need of someone strong to take over, but little did they know this would be the worst decision they would have ever made to put that man in power. There were many things wrong that he did but one in particular thing that he made happen and that were the death camp but one of the worst was the experimental camps such as Treblinka. This camp was enforced by the Nazi officers but it wasn't like your typical death camp. It was a camp were the scientist would use chemicals or other things to experiment on innocent people. Just because of there hairitage, they were beaten and experimented on. Their were at least 700,000 deaths but estimated more around 900,000 deaths In this death camp …show more content…
If you could jump off the transport or escape while in the death camp. But it was very hard and dangerous. If you were caught you faced worse punishment for trying to escaping the inedible death. So many Jew did not even try to escape they would be caught they would just let them do whatever to their body or to their minds. They would just give up, it seemed to the jews that every day the punishment got worse and worse for know reason other than because of their heritage. Although they did not ask to be brought into this world or to be jewish they were paying for it for know reason other than some psychopath got elected to run a country and was not examined properly enough. So there for the whole country had to pay for it. But what really happened at Treblinka? Jewish inmates organized a resistance group in Treblinka in early 1943. When camp operations neared completion, the prisoners feared they would be killed and the camp dismantled. During the late spring and summer of 1943, the resistance leaders decided to
The Holocaust was an extraordinary event that affected the lives of millions of people, including Elie Wiesel, and led to the death of many innocent lives. It all began when Adolf Hitler became Germany’s dictator in 1933. Hitler praised the German population and seemed to ban all other competing races, specifically the Jewish population in Germany. This hatred toward the Jews led to extreme discrimination. Hitler’s main goal was to lead the Jewish race out of the country through the establishment of harsh laws against them (Barrett). After having little effect, Hitler decided to force the Jews into political imprisonment which led to the creation of the first concentration camps in 1933. However,
Jewish citizens and families are being sent to these camps, held there forced to do work. They are put in chambers where multiple people, large groups and families are gassed with Zyklon B, and are left for dead. Nazis are sent to kidnap Jewish people right out of their houses to send them to these camps. Others were also just shot and killed on the spot. The jewish people tried to resist, but it is difficult with lack of weapons and resources. Hitler was trying to gain power and land from this genocide. He thought that if he took over the world he could be the most powerful person. He also wanted revenge, he was angry about the outcome of WWI and this sparked his interest to get back at his
Imagine the worst torture possible. Now imagine the same thing only ten times worse; In Auschwitz that is exactly what it was like. During the time of the Holocaust thousands of Jewish people were sent to this very concentration camp which consisted of three camps put into one. Here they had one camp; Auschwitz I; the main camp, Auschwitz II; Birkenau, and last is Auschwitz III; Monowitz. Each camp was responsible for a different part but all were after the same thing; elimination of the Jewish race. In these camps they had cruel punishments, harsh housing, and they had Nazi guards watching them and killing them on a daily basis.

Jews: The Undermined Soldiers. 1.1 million Jewish children were killed by Nazis. ”Haaretz”. In the late 1930s, the Holocaust had just begun to form. The Holocaust was the genocide of the Jewish community, all provoked by one person.
Illegal organisations, Jewish militias and underground political groups also formed, planning and executing attacks and resisting the Nazi rule in occupied Europe. The biggest, most coordinated act of armed resistance took place in the Warsaw Ghetto in Poland in 1943. Planned by a group called the Zydowska Organizacja Bojowa (Z.O.B), which was Polish for Jewish fighting organisation, the ZOB refused to board railroad cars which they knew would take them to Treblinka, the killing centre where over 300,000 Jews from Warsaw had already been exterminated. However Jews prayed and held ceremonies in secret, hiding in cellars, attics, and basements, as others watched to make sure no Germans saw.
World War II was no doubt a very dark time, but there were people who vowed revenge on the Nazis for what they had done. According to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum up to 6 million Jews were killed during the Holocaust. Simon Wiesenthal was a devoted Nazi hunter after he was placed in several concentration camps during World War II and survived through all five of them (“Simon Wiesenthal”). When people think of all the lives the Nazis took, the thought of Nazis killed in revenge normally does not come to mind. Simon Wiesenthal was no doubt one of the strongest Jews to survive the Holocaust and contain the bravery to bring justice upon the Nazis.
Between the years of 1933-1939 were some of the worst years. These years were when concentration camps were in the making and running. These camps were some of the cruelest and disgusting places at the time. They were all different as some were gas camps and other ways of killing and others were just holding camps. In the holding camps the disease killed about as many as the death camps. The first cruel camp was made in 1933 and they all ran until 1939. The concentration camps from 1933-1939 showed just how cruel some people could be.
In Survival in Auschwitz, Primo Levi describes his time in the concentration camp. The depiction of Auschwitz, is gruesome and vile in the Nazi’s treatment of the captives being held, but especially in the treatment of its Jewish prisoners. A key proponent to the text is Levi’s will to live which is shown in various places in the text, however a thematic element to the will to live is the reference to Inferno by Dante. In particular, the Inferno aids Survival in Auschwitz in by adding another layer of context to the prisoner’s condition, which resembles hell, and Levi’s will to live paralleling the character, Dante.
The holocaust was a horrible time in Germany where millions of people were killed simply for not being Aryan. The group responsible for this was called the Nazis led by a man of the name Adolf Hitler. Hitler’s main target was the Jews, in fact the Nazis were responsible for the killing of 6 million Jews, which is known as one of the largest genocides ever. The way this was done was by taking the Jews to places called concentration camps where they would be kept, tortured and eventually killed by being put into gas chambers. The conditions of these camps were horrible. People had to sleep on top of each other and minimal food was supplied. The results of this was that people died by just being there because they caught a disease. Not only were the conditions bad but people were tortured, beaten and starved. The Nazis put a whole new meaning to the word cruelty. One of the cruelest things the Nazis did was use the Jews for experiments, where people were basically test dummies for Dr. Mengele, who was the head Nazi doctor and referred to as the “angel of death.”
For many years after the holocaust, people were unaware of a little known death camp that was second only to the famous Auschwitz in the death toll. In fact, some people still are unaware of what happened there, or claim that the large number of deaths did not occur there at all. Treblinka was a well-hidden death camp, where up to 900,000 people were killed, and only 1% of people who arrived there lived to tell the tale.
Soon after Germany separated from Austria in March 1938, the Nazi soldiers arrested and imprisoned Jews in concentration camps all over Germany. Only eight months after annexation, the violent anti-jew Kristallnacht , also known as Night of the Broken Glass, pogroms took place. The Nazi soldiers arrested masses of male adult Jews and held them captive in camps for short periods of time. A death camp is a concentration camp designed with the intention of mass murder, using strategies such as gas chambers. Six death concentration camps exis...
First of all, to get a proper understanding of the events in my book, I did some research to paint a picture of the holocaust. The reason that the Germans started the holocaust a long time ago was because they believed that the Jewish people were minions of the devil, and that they were bent on destroying the Christian mind. Many Christians in Germany were also mad at them for killing Jesus in the Bible. Throughout the holocaust, Hitler, the leader of Germany at the time, and the Nazis killed about six million Jewish people, more than two-thirds of all of the Jewish people in Europe at the time. They also killed people who were racially inferior, such as people of Jehovah's Witness religion, and even some Germans that had physical and mental handicaps. The concentration camp that appears in this story is Auschwitz, which was three camps in one: a prison camp, and extermination camp, and a slave labor camp. When someone was sent to Auschw...
The Holocaust was the murder and persecution of approximately 6 million Jews and many others by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. The Nazis came to power in Germany in January of 1933. The Nazis thought that the “inferior” Jews were a threat to the “racially superior” German racial community. The death camps were operated from 1941 to 1945, and many people lost their lives or were forced to work in concentration camps during these years. The story leading up to the Holocaust, how the terrible event affected people’s lives, and how it came to and end are all topics that make this historic event worth learning about.
Approximately 6 million Jews and 5 million other people starting from the year 1933 were killed. They were put to death. There was one main person responsible for all of this.
