Thousands of people died in the hands of the Nazis in many camps they had. Only one comes to my mind the Treblinka Concentration Camp. The Treblinka camp was a secret weapon for the Germans to get rid of the Jews and Gypsies. There were two camps to Treblinka that was used to kill the innocent people. Walking in the footsteps of the innocent people to explore the camps. The revolt that brought an end to Treblinka Concentration Camp.
To begin, Treblinka concentration camp had two parts to it. The first camp was built for the criminals of Poland to work. The first camp war built in 1941. The second camp was built year later a mile away. Then the Germans saw it a perfect opportunity to build the second camp. The building of the second camp

There would be 50 to 60 cars to the camp but they would stop at Malkinia train station to take 20 cars and send it to Treblinka Murder camp. If you worked on the train clean up and sorting you most likely going to be killed after the next group gets into Treblinka because that provides jobs for the next group. If you are lucky you get to live and do all the work for the Germans. You would to get all the shipments ready for Germany so they could sell or melt down for money to keep the war going. You would also escort the injured or sick to the camouflage clinic. They had to lie and then watch the prisoners die. So either way you didn’t have a choice in any matter. . Treblinka.

The Holocaust represents 11 million lives that abruptly ended, the extermination of people not for who they were but for what they were. Groups such as handicaps, Gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, Catholics, Poles, Soviet prisoners of war, political dissidents and others were persecuted by the Nazis because of their religious/political beliefs, physical defects, or failure to fall into the Aryan ideal. The Holocaust was lead by a man named Adolf Hitler who was born in 1889, and died in 1945.
The Holocaust will forever be known as one of the largest genocides ever recorded in history. 11 million perished, and 6 million of the departed were Jewish. The concentration camps where the prisoners were held were considered to be the closest one could get to a living hell. There is no surprise that the men, women, and children there were afraid. One is considered blessed to have a family member alongside oneself.
Every day was a constant battle for their lives, and they never got a break. So many people died from getting sick or from the things the guards would do and no one could save them. The food was bad and they had to hurt each other to get more food so that they wouldn’t starve. They were forced to turn against each other to survive when they never should have had to. Life was never the same for those who went to Auschwitz and survived.

Five thousand to seven thousand Jews arrived each day, increasing to about 12,000 a day, though thousands were dead on arrival. This camp was the the last camp whose sole purpose was “extermination”. It was only fifty miles from the large city of Warsaw, which blows my mind that people will still fully confidently try to convince people that the camps never happened. It became known as Treblinka I when the death camp, Treblinka II, was built.
At the end of the war, while the “Red Army” stormed across the Eastern front racing to Berlin, the officers at Treblinka begun to make daring steps to “cover their tracks”. By destroying buildings, killing the remaining Jews, and burning all records, Nazi soldiers hoped to hide all evidence of the atrocities being committed within the camp.
The first concentration camps were set up in 1933. Hitler established the camps when he came into power for the purpose of isolating, punishing, torturing, and killing anyone suspected of opposition against his regime. In the early years of Hitler's reign, concentration camps were places that held people in protective custody. These people in protective custody included those who were both physically and mentally ill, gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah Witnesses, Jews and anyone against the Nazi regime. By the end of 1933 there were at least fifty concentration camps throughout occupied Europe.
Almost all of the Warsaw Jews were killed in the gas chambers, the moment they arrived. The Germans had deported the Jews to the to the Lublin/Majdanek concentration camp, and to the Poniatowa, Trawniki, Budzyn, and Krasnik forced labor camps. The German’s plan was to liquidate the ghetto in only 3 days, but the fighters of the ghetto managed to keep it the ghetto there for more than a full month.
The Holocaust was an extremely horrific period of history. Millions were killed and lost everything, including money, family, and dignity. However, it has taught many lessons. We can study it today to make sure nothing like it ever happens again.
Little children ran away from their homes over broken glass and through spiky shrubs to get away. Some of the children had to witness their family being taken away and had to leave them behind to save themselves. A lot of them didn’t understand what was going on because they were so young. Not all the kids could get away and some were either killed or taken away to concentration camps. Parents lost their children to the Nazis and children lost their parents. The cost in damages were extremely expensive It was a horrific and grim day for Jews all around the world.
Horrible things happened in Europe during the time period of WWII, and millions of people died. The Holocaust stands as one of the biggest genocides that has ever happened in human history, so we study it to remember it. Remembering the awful things that happened during the Holocaust, and all of the poor Jews and other undesireables who lost their lives will hopefully insure that something this disgusting, at this magnitude, will never happen again.
The Jews were packed tightly and stuck in train cars for days or even a week depending on where they were going. These people had no clue where they were going, no clue how much longer it would take, and no clue what would happen once they stepped off of the train. In the book Night it explains how Elie was transported in a cattle car with about a hundred more people shoved into it. Some people in these cattle cars could not survive the long journeys and died. The prisoners in the cars went to the bathroom on the floors which just worsened the conditions. Halfway through the journey, the train would stop and any dead prisoners would be thrown out of the cattle cars. Anybody who was still alive went on to their destination. In an internet source is talks about how cruel and horrible the conditions were inside of these transport cars.
During the rule of Adolf Hitler, many children who were Jewish lived a very frightening and difficult life. They never were given the love and compassion that every child needs and deserves growing up. The Holocaust is a story that will continue to be shared till the end of time.
World War II was a grave event in the twentieth century that affected millions. Two main concepts World War II is remembered for are the concentration camps and the marches. These marches and camps were deadly to many yet powerful to others. However, to most citizens near camps or marches, they were insignificant and often ignored. In The Book Thief, author Markus Zusak introduces marches and camps similar to Dachau to demonstrate how citizens of nearby communities were oblivious to the suffering in those camps during the Holocaust.
Auschwitz I was built in 1940, as a site for Polish political prisoners. This was the original camp and administrative center. The prisoners’ living conditions were inhumane in every respect, and the death rate was quite high. Auschwitz I was not meant ...
