Living Conditions

• If you were not able to do hard labor you were
  killed.
• All belongings were taking and they had to wear
  old rag like clothing
• Most Jews had to sleep with three other people.
  In a twin size bunk bed.
• Most Jews died because there was not a lot of
  food to go around.
• Other died because of sickness because they
  couldnt bath and were very cold.
• If you finally got food it would be a half a
  loaf and most the time people would steal it.
• Each prisoner was put into categorizes they
  would label them with a certain color star
  depending on what race they were.
• Only had one bathroom for one hundred people.

First camps

• The first Nazi concentration camps opened in
  march 1933. at first only known opponents of the
  Nazis would go in, but gradually a more diverse
  group was imprisoned for making harsh remarks
  about the Nazis. Years later six death camps
  started being constructed in Poland.

Death camps

• By the time Hitler ordered a halt to the shooting
  in the fall of 1942 they had murdered
  approximately 1,500,000 Jews. The death camps
  proved to be a faster, better, and less personal
  method for killing Jews, one that would spare the
  shooters, not the victims, emotional anguish.
  Which led to making more death camps.

How they died

• Gas chambers
• Weapons such as guns
• Diseases spread throughout the camp, such as
  typhus.
• Starvation
• Suicide
• By the end of the war, to save money by not using
  the gas chambers, they usually threw them into an
  oven or a burning pit.
