Disclaimer- This letter is taken place in the year 1944, asking for further access to US troops in order to invade the Nazi’s and save the Jews(& more) in Auschwitz. Dear Representative Thomas R. Marshall, We feel, as the US army, that we should invade the camps of Auschwitz and liberate the innocent people that are victimized by the Nazi soldiers. Records have been released that Jews are currently being killed by gas chambers, starvation, forced labor, developing infectious diseases, and along with being tested in life- threatening medical experiments. This is all taking place within the grounds of Auschwitz. We have devised a plan that will ensure the safety of not only our Soldiers, but the Jews and others inhabited in the camp as well. …show more content…
Auschwitz has been running for the past 3, almost 4, years. It has killed nearly 1 million people in that time span. That means if Auschwitz is never terminated, and it keeps moving in the same rate that it is currently, in the next 9 years an estimated 3 million innocent civilians are predicted to die on the grounds of all Auschwitz camps. That statistic is based off the rate that the camp is moving as of right now. It is also more than likely, that within the next couple years Nazis will find new ways to execute more humans in a faster, “newly improved”, manner. Which is stating that if we don't act fast Nazi troops will improve their execution skills and lead to the deaths of even more innocent people. Reports have been shown that those inside are, daily, put in unbearable positions. Many are being forced to work in torturous conditions under strict Nazi rule. Also, the gas chambers are used by the hour to kill those inside instantly. We have heard word that this year, 1944, more than 1 million Jews and at least 4000 gypsies have been murdered by this deadly gas exposure. Therefore, we have to act as fast and quick as we are able to if we want to save the lives of millions of innocent
Did you know that some prisoners in concentration camps during WWII were subjected to serious, and sometimes fatal medical experiments done on them? There are three different categories of medical experiments. These experiments were only done to help the Nazis survive during that time. Hitler was originally the one who gave the german physicians permission to do these horrific experiments on innocent people.
Everyone who has learned about World War II should know about the Holocaust. The Holocaust was during the same period of World War II. “What is it called the Holocaust?” you may ask. The Holocaust originates from the Greek language and means “completely burnt offering to God.”
About 200 managed to escape. The Germans recaptured and killed about half of them” (Jewish Uprising in Ghettos and Camps, USHMM). However, other camp rebellions were a failure. For example the uprising in the Auschwitz Crematorium, in which prisoners fought back against the guards when they found out that they were to be executed. The Schutzstaffel harshly ceased the rebellion and as a result, killed hundreds by gunpoint.
Nazi death marches were very deadly and thousands of innocent people died during them. The Nazis had three main priorities when evacuating the prisoners, how far they would walk, how long the prisoners would walk, the environment they would walk in, how many people died and what they did with the dead bodies. First, the Nazis had three main priorities when evacuating the prisoners. The first priority is the Nazis didn’t want to let the prisoners escape to tell the story of how badly they were tortured and all the forced labor they had to achieve.
It had been late January in 1933, Adolf Hitler had begun his new position as Chancellor of Germany and has continuously preached about exterminating the Jews. Hitler would continue to rule for the next 12 years, and keeping true to his threat, he would spend 4 years of his rule secretly pulling off the biggest mass genocide in history. His plans would lead to over 6 million deaths and an overall count of 17 million victims. The reason his plans had been majorly successful was due to the secrecy of the death and torture by using propaganda and concentration camps, such as Auschwitz-Birkenau or Buchenwald. To get to the camps, German officers would ‘evacuate’ families and send them by train or cattle car, after reaching the nearest camp families
Taking the lives of 6 million Jews alone, the Holocaust is one of , if not the, greatest tragedies in history. It is completely deranged that at one point in time, millions of people stood by and supported Adolf Hitler. Adolf was a man who stored so much hatred towards Jews, homosexuals, Gypsies, etc., that he found it acceptable to kill them through mass shootings, gassings, and Nazi camps. Other times called ‘concentration camps,’ the mere idea of Nazi camps was purely wicked. Disease, forced labor, starvation, and murder are only a few things that were incorporated into these camps.
By the end of the war, there were some 50,000 up to 100,000 survivors that were living in occupied Europe. Auschwitz was the camp that happened to occur the most death out of all the other camps. Thousands of Nazis commited suicide during 1945, as they were taught. After the removal of Adolf Hitler, within’ a year, the population of survivors grew up to over 200,000 survivors. During the holocaust, Adolf hitler murdered millions of people.
Anything is possible, even with these crematories…”(Wiesel 15). This quote showcases the absence of humanity in concentration camps. The Nazis valued the lives of the Jews so little that they threw the Jews into fires and gas chambers without any regard that those were human lives. The prisoners were denied of their basic human right, life. They were no longer humans, but instead they were corpses.
Expository Report “We must do something, we can’t let them kill us like that, like cattle in the slaughterhouse, we must revolt”. These are the words from many men surrounding Elie Wiesel as he entered Auschwitz, calling out for rebellious toward the Germans harsh conditions. Of course they had no idea what they were getting themselves into, many thought that there was nothing wrong until boarding the cattle train that would send them off to their final resting place. Life during the holocaust was torturous to say the least, so much so that some 6,000,000 lives were taken during this time in Jewish descent alone. People of the Jewish descent did not have it easy; they either were forced out of their homes into concentration camps, or they would hide out only to be found and killed of they remained in their settlements.
In this quote, "Comrades, you are now in the concentration camp Auschwitz. Ahead of you lies a long road paved with suffering. Don 't lose hope. You have already eluded the worst danger: the selection. Therefore, muster your strength and keep your faith.
“This life-saving work was done with help from non-Jewish persons and institutions”(Gossels and Wetherell 1). This work alone exemplifies the amount of moral courage done by the OSE on a daily basis. The Jews were hated during this era of World War 2 and yet so many people found the right will in their hearts to make an attempt to save these infant prisoners of war. “This is a story of courage and determination, a story of sacrifice, loyalty and dedication”(D’lzieu, Maison 1). The OSE displays moral
Adolf hitler set up concentration camps to work jew to death or kill them right when they got there by making them “Shower” which was a gas chamber that killed them. At any point the nazi soldiers would accuse the jews for doing something they did not do so they sent them to a camp far worse than the one there were at “Convicted of forgery, aiding the enemy and attempted escape, the sisters were sent to separate prisons. Then in December 1943 Anita was told she was being moved to Auschwitz. She was aware what that meant. “You knew about the gas chambers in Auschwitz long before one was in Auschwitz,” Anita told me.”
"Eyewitness Auschwitz" by Filip Muller is a true eyewitness account of his life in Auschwitz. Filip Muller is originally from Sered,Slovakia and was transported over to Auschwitz concentration camp. The Memoir began with Filip Muller in the Auschwitz I main camp where he was by Vacek to the cap off and cap on drill until exhaustion. (Pg. 1-3) The next location in Auschwitz that he was brought to was called the Crematorium where he would have the generators declickered; the dead dragged to ovens for cremation, coke had to be brought in; ashes had to be raked out, and finally the Crematorium had to be cleaned and disinfected.
This was such a tragic time in history and we should all be thankful that our world isn 't like this. The Concentration Camps were made because Hitler hated the jews and wanted to kill all and they were kind of brainwashing them to tell them it is a wonderful place to live. When they were making the camps the Nazis would go around just shooting people for no reason. So Hitler and the Nazis captured the majority of the Jews and put them into these camps saying they should be here and that they deserve to died and it is all their fault.
Daily Life at Concentration Camps Starving, cold, unclothed, sick, and hard working people were all put in concentration camps and treated horribly. The Jewish workers worked hard all day everyday or else they would get killed. The way the Nazi’s treated the Jews was extremely bad, the Jews would not get food, clothes, beds, and other necessities. There were all types of camps that had all kinds of jobs, you were assigned a job and didn 't get to pick a job. The Jews had a very compact schedule, they were busy all day, never any time to waste.
