This Way For The Gas Ladies And Gentlemen Summary

If anyone were to trip or fall they would be killed without any hesitation. Once the Nazis decided they had ran enough, the ones who had lived went on a train to go to Gleiwitz. On the train, a leader of the camp would throw some kind of food in the middle of the train for them all to fight for. After a while everyone went through another selection and if they did anything wrong they would be blown up. After people had died the strong would strip them of their clothes and all the food that they had to help themselves.

In Night by Elie Wiesel and Surviving Auschwitz by Primo Levi, the two authors portray the attitudes during selection differently. In Night, Elie tells how the guards are saying brutal things very calmly, “Men to the left! Women to the right! Eight words spoken quietly, indifferently, without emotion. ”

All throughout Night, we see the recurring theme of preservation of self above others. We see this often throughout Night because the prisoners’ basic rights were being taken from them and when that happens, our instincts kick in and cause us only to think of ourselves. This is true survival mode, which means nothing but you and your survival matters. The prisoners at the concentration camp were deprived of a life, their name, and even food most of the time.

They were murdered in mostly death camps. Camps and ghettos were a terrible place to inhabit because the Jews are separated from the entire world and have little clues on what is happening outside of there. Jews were killed on site for no reason like for example walking

As people can see the daily lives of the prisoners were extremely strenuous. Prisoners of the concentration camps were traumatized. They were stripped of their freedom and were forced to work until they could no longer carry on. Thankfully this event has long since passed and the survivors have been liberated and allowed to live the remainder of their lives in peace without fear of something like this happening to them again. One specific experience the victims of the Holocaust went through were the Concentration camps that the Germans forcefully took them too.

The conditions in the camps were awful, the housing was extremely overcrowded, everything in the camp it was dirty, which contributed to the already large amount of illnesses (Byers 41). Jews from every camp died from starvation regularly (Byers 41). People (mostly men) were forced to work or do labor for the Nazis, usually until they died or were killed (Lublin/Majdanek). The most used way for killing prisoners was the gas chambers. Millions of Jews died in gas chambers from gases like Zyklon B and carbon monoxide (Lublin/Majdanek).

It was not an extermination camp like Auschwitz. The Nazis tried to kill as many of the Jews as possible. The prisoners would either work in a stone quarry, or armaments factory until they died from exhaustion or hunger. Many prisoners were beaten to death, or died from hunger and exhaustion. They would work 15 hour days of harsh labor.

The jews starved daily and were forced to work like slaves. The Nazis partied in front of the jews and taunted them on the regular. Some camps were just full of hatred for example 1 million people died at the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp 90% of those were jews. The main cause in this camp was gas chambers.

There is fact that, “Imprisonment in a concentration camp meant inhuman forced labour, brutal mistreatment, hunger, disease, and random executions”. The killing in concentration camps was not always purposeful but the prisoners would die from their living conditions. There were so many people living in a hut that disease spread very quickly and even a common cold would kill hundreds of people at a time. In these camps Nazi soldiers often forgot to feed the prisoners and would rape or kill them for no reason other than the satisfaction. Auschwitz is the most notorious camp throughout the Holocaust.

The holocaust was when jews (etc.) were taken from homes and towns and sent on trains to concentration camps. At these concentration camps some were killed immediately in the gas chambers, but some had to do hard labor but most eventually died or got killed. Many people in these camps didn 't only die from the gas chambers; they died of disease, hunger, frostbite, sleep deprivation, etc. At these camps you had a bowl; if the bowl was lost or taken you would die because they would not give you food if the bowl was not

Despite the fact Germans also killed other ethnical groups, the Jewish received this so called special treatment, Sonderbehandlung in German, where all of them, no matter men, women or kids, were to be killed with poisonous gas (The Holocaust). For the Jewish people, different types of camps were established: death camps (around 3.5 million Jews killed in these camps), concentration camps and slave camps (for strong and younger Jews) (The Holocaust). In the slave and the concentration camps, for example, the Jews had to work in factories till late at night, provided only with shelter and some type of food, usually some kind of watery soup with small amount of vegetables, in order to stay alive (The Holocaust). The harsh conditions and the violence seen by millions changed these people and left them with the memory and the trauma from

Despite that 11 million people died in the Holocaust, many people survived as well. It is the survivors who have helped us truly understand what really happened in the concentration camps in the Second World War. However, how can we know for sure that we know the whole truth? The survivors are not the same people and therefore have different perspectives of what really happened and have experienced different events. Therefore different narration helps us get closer to the truth about the concentration camps, by emphasizing the tragedy from different angles that gives us a wider perspective.

They were taken to a concentration camp called Auschwitz. There were thousands of jews there. Were they were mistreated forced to work with no pay. Beaten sometimes to death. And forced to build huts for other jews.

The Nazis created “concentration camps” as designated areas for Jews and other victims. The victims lived in the concentration camps and ended up spending their last days there. Horrifyingly enough, Nazis would gather children, men, and women to take a shower and lock them into a chamber with toxic gasses that killed them. There will never be an excuse for the genocide that Hitler and the Nazis created. To this day there is a remembrance of the poor suffering lives.

Many Jewish survivors were sent to different countries, while those who were responsible for the Holocaust were punished. The Holocaust was a very brutal event that took place in Europe in the 20th Century. It was genocide; Adolf Hitler and the Nazis murdered about 6 million Jews. This began after Hitler was announced
