Auschwitz is one of many concentration camps during the holocaust and one of the

largest complexes of established by the Nazi regime. The people who were sent here were

forced into laboring by the SS authorities for long periods of time. Auschwitz served for a

couple of services which were to provide a supply of forced laborers for deployment in

SS-owned construction-related enterprises. Like some concentration camps, Auschwitz I

had a gas chamber and crematorium. Initially, SS engineers constructed an improvised

gas chamber in the basement of the prison block, Block 11. They conducted

pseudoscientific research on infants, twins, and dwarfs, and performed forced

sterilizations and castrations of adults. The best-known of these physicians was SS

Captain Dr. Josef Mengele. This source is credible because the website is run by an actual

company/museum, the website is updated all the time and it has a (.org) which stands for

organization so that eliminates the fact that the information is not true.

The Generalgouvernement, SS and police authorities established a forced-labor camp for

Jews, known as Treblinka, later as Treblinka I. Most of the Treblinka camps were used as

killing centers the only one that wasnt was the first Treblinka. Treblinka also served as a

so-called education camp for non-Jewish poles. Deportations to Treblinka came from the

ghettos of Warsaw and other random districts. Between late July and September 1942,

the Germans deported around 265,000 Jews from the Warsaw ghetto to Treblinka.

Deportations to Treblinka continued until May 1943. A few isolated transports arrived

after that date. Beginning in the fall of 1942, the camp authorities, under orders from

Lublin, began to exhume bodies from the mass graves and burn them in order to

obliterate the evidence of mass killing. Jewish prisoners were forced to do this grisly

work. The burning of corpses continued until the end of July 1943. This source is also

from the site I got my information on Auschwitz from so I would think this is just as

credible this article can help anyone who needs information on what the killing centers

were like and the deportations that happen through there.

Wiesel,Elie.Night.1sted. Hill and Wang, 2006, New York, NY.

In night Elie Wiesel doesnt really talk about Buchenwald but when he is in Buchenwald

he meets a boy named Eliezer and his father. Later when they are there Elie realizes that

Eliezer was trying to leave behind his father. He questions why he did it and it was

because Eliezer feels like his better off without his father. Eliezer starts to feel bad for his

father because his father was so weak from everything going on. The mood in this part of

the book it was given the expression of suffering. Later they woke up to find out Eliezer

father has been taken to the crematory. This source is credible because is coming straight

from the person who has went through this event of time and is telling his point of view

on his experiences.

Between 1933 and 1945, Nazi Germany and its allies established more than 40,000

camps and other incarceration sites. From its rise to power in 1933, the Nazi regime built

a series of detention facilities to imprison and eliminate so-called "enemies of the state."

Most prisoners in the early concentration camps were German Communists, Socialists,

Social Democrats, Roma (Gypsies), Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexuals, and persons

accused of "asocial" or socially deviant behavior. the Nazis established killing centers in

Poland, the country with the largest Jewish population. The killing centers were designed

for efficient mass murder. Chelmno, the first killing center, opened in December 1941. To

make things more faster and easier The Nazis constructed gas chambers (rooms that filled

with poison gas to kill those inside) to increase killing efficiency and to make the process

more impersonal for the perpetrators. Millions of people were imprisoned and abused in

the various types of Nazi camps. Under SS management, the Germans and their

collaborators murdered more than three million Jews in the killing centers alone. Only a

small fraction of those imprisoned in Nazi camps survived. This source is credible

because its known for its information and the reason the site is there is for this specific

reason The Holocaust and can help anybody who wants an overview of all the camps an

how they were created.
