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
gas chamber in the basement of the prison block, Block 11. They conducted
Captain Dr. Josef Mengele. This source is credible because the website is run by an actual

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

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,
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
