When World War II officially began, with the invasion of Poland, Germany began to put Jews inside of these camps where they worked themselves to death. But in 1941, the first horrific extermination camp was built in Poland with a sole purpose of killing enemies to the Nazi regime, Jews, Gypsies, etc. This horror went on to be the Holocaust, and German leadership believed that this was perfectly
There were more than 40,000 camps in the years of 1933 and 1945. The camps were used to hurt people, murder them, work for the Nazis, and many more terrible things. In September 1939 the Nazis opened a forced labor camp where many jews were starved, exposure,and being extremely tired. In a few camps they would do medical experiments on the prisoners. Sadly many people died from gas chambers where the prisoners had gas sprayed in there faces to the point of death.
Transit camps was an occupied land almost like the Ghettos. But transit camps were where the people would stay before being deported to a concentration camp or straight off into the death row. Transit camps were worst then ghettos, everything was horrible there mostly the condition of the Nazi toward the victims of the Jews. In transit camps more than 70000 people were deported and some were sent to be killed in the East but some actually survived the
During the second World War there many camps establish throughout both the U.S and Europe; these camps where consisted on concentration camps and internment camps which were both made for the purpose of imprisoning or holding many people. We learned of the concentrations camps from the book; Night by Elie Wiesel. This story is a first person account of the life within the confines of a concentration camp from the eyes of Elie himself. Both concentration camps and internment camps were terrible, unethical places during the war, but the suffering caused by them was not enclosed to the camps themselves. While the Japanese internment camps were originally established for containment during the war, the concentration camps were originally made
The Japanese Internment Camps were United States controlled concentration camps during WWII for the accused Japanese-Americans, urged on by the paranoia citizens and ended by the Nisei’s loyalty. The establishment began by the relocation order, also known as Executive Order 9066. All of the American citizens of Japanese descent were relocated in a short period of time and endured the conditions of the war camps. An intern based army on the Allied side and two major court cases made the US reconsidered the Executive Order and shut down the internment camps. When Japan bombed Pearl Harbor in December, the citizens of America were terrified and blamed the Japanese-Americans.
At a tragic time like the Holocaust, millions of people were killed in concentration camps. The camp that started it all was the Dachau concentration camp built on March 20, 1933. During Hitler’s reign in World War II, the Nazis built a prison in Dachau out of an old factory. Heinrich Himmler ran it, but instead of prisoners, there were mostly innocent people, especially Jews. Dachau concentration camp served as a prison for Jews, and people who committed the smallest of crimes, but it wasn't just any ordinary prison, it served as a building for torturing and a mass murdering area where prisoners felt pain, loss, and scared.
Shortly before the outbreak of war, SS and police officials incarcerated Jews, Roma, and other victims of ethnic and racial hatred in these camps. To concentrate and monitor the Jewish population as well as to facilitate later deportation of the Jews, the Germans and their collaborators created ghettos, transit camps, and forced-labor camps for Jews during the war years. The German authorities also established numerous forced-labor camps, both in the Greater German Reich and in German occupied territory.
The attitudes and perceptions of Japanese-Americans relations soured peaking since the beginning of World War II. Devastated by Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 and fill an anti-axis power mentality, many American citizens attacked Japanese-American homes, businesses, and communities. One of the most controversial moments in American history was President Roosevelt’s Executive order 9066, which forced thousands of Japanese descent, many of which were first generation American citizens or nisei, out of their homes and into internment camps. Arkansas was home to one of the most famous internment camps in America. It was here that many Japanese women faced hardships and adopted new liberties while adapting to their new lives.
The very first concentration camp was set up in Dachau, Germany in 1933. Concentration camps kept opening up and being used all the way through to the end of World War II in 1945. As so many camps opened their had to be someone to build them for the prisoners of war, and believe it or not it was the prisoners themselves who had to build their own soon to be torture and sleeping chambers. In the Holocaust up to 6 million Jewish citizens died in either concentration camps or on the street. In the concentration camps people were either killed by being shot, gassed with poisonous gasses, tortured, or by catching a deathly disease or virus but prier to this they had to live in poor, poor living conditions.
The Holocaust was the most catastrophic event of the time period. According to website history.com staff in their article “The Holocaust”, 11 million people overall were killed in the Holocaust. The victims of the holocaust included Jewish people, Soviet prisoners of war, Polish civilians, disabled people, gypsies, political opponents of Hitler, and homosexuals. These people lost all their belongings, homes, cars, and their freedom. One specific experience the victims of the Holocaust went through were the Concentration camps that the Germans forcefully took them too.
The Jews did not really start being placed in concentration camps until 1934. The reason for this is because that is when the SS got its independence from the SA, which meant the SS could do more of what the Nazis asked them to do(CONCENTRATION). The concentration camps were awful. The prisoners were forced to do a useless and hard task.
The Nazis used Ghettos during the Holocaust to separate, persecute, and destroy European Jews. They combined into the Nazi’s long standing racial policy. The goal of ghettos established as temporary; however, they lasted for days, weeks, or years. Three types of ghettos made up the Holocaust: closed, open, and destruction.
The Holocaust was created by Adolf Hitler in 1933 ending in 1945. Adolf Hitler was an Austrian-born German politician who was the leader of the Nazi party, chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945, and the Führer of Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1945. The word Holocaust is a word of Greek origin meaning “sacrifice by fire.” The term “concentration camp” is most strongly associated with the several hundred camps established by the Nazis in Germany and occupied Europe in 1933-1945, among the most infamous being Dachau, Belsen, and Auschwitz. From the earliest years of the Nazi regime, German authorities persecuted homosexuals and others whose behavior did not match prescribed social norms.
The first concentration camps were set up for Polish prisoners and officials. The camps were labor camps where the detained would be forced to do grueling work with harsh, long hours. The first camps also housed many misfits including gypsies, roma and transgender people who the Nazi saw as weak, and intolerable. After the occupation of Poland in late 1939 the Nazi started capturing the Jews and putting them into the camps where they started to talk about the “Final Solution” or the end of all the Jews, and possibly of the whole world. The Nazi tried to hide this plan as much as possible, to not seem cruel when they actually were.
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.
