PRESENTATION OUTLINE
ARRIVING AT CONCENTRATION CAMPS
- After being captured & waiting to get on a train at transit camps for weeks
- prisoners would be taken on cattle cars for days to get to the death camps.
- If prisoners weren't killed when they arrived, they were forced to take
- showers, shave their heads, have numbers tattooed on their arms, and
- wear prisoner clothes.

JOBS IN CONCENTRATION CAMPS
- No matter what type job prisoners had they only lasted 1-3 months.
- Prisoners lasted longer working jobs like making shoes or being in the prison orchestra.
- If prisoners worked in the mines or chemical plants they were likely to die faster than
- the others.
CONDITIONS IN CONCENTRATION CAMPS
- From the trains to the barracks the prisoners were put in terrible conditions.
- On trains prisoners couldn't lie down from over crowdedness
- and weren't even given buckets to use the restroom.
- Conditions in the barracks were worst of all because there were 3 people to a bunk
- that had straw layed across the barracks. There was lots of diseases from over crowdedness.
