PRESENTATION OUTLINE
THE NAZI CAMP SYSTEMS ETC.
Usually when we travel, we take a car, a plane or even a train. Either way its our choice. Same way as if we buy a home or rent an apartment or end up being homeless. We all get to choose those things and how we live our life. In 1939 in Germany; Jews, Gypsies, Homosexuals, Jehovah witnesses, etc, they didn't have a choice, they were forced to stop having basic human rights. They were forced by the Nazi party with Adolf Hitlers consent to force them to leave their homes, with only a few of there belongings and forced to live in unsanitary places called the Ghettos. Forced to get into small box cars with 100's of people all squeezed in to be taken to places they don't know anything about and scared to know what there fate might be.
THESIS
Between the years 1939-1945 in Germany the Nazi Party made systems for the camps, ghettos, deportations, and trains etc. . The purpose of this so they can have everything in check to annihilate the people that didn't fit in their perfect german race.
GHETTOS
Life in the Ghettos was pretty unbearable. Overcrowding was very common, most of the time jus tone single apartment could have had several families staying there. Contagious diseases spread rapidly in cramped living areas; people were always hungry. The Nazi Party purposely tried to starve the inmates by only feeding them a small amount of bread, potatoes and fat. Some inmates had some money or valuables that they would trade in for food. Every day infants/children would become orphans and many of them had to take care of the younger ones. Orphans most often living in the street begging for food from people who had little close to nothing. During the winter in the Ghettos many children had to be useful and smuggle food to survive, if caught they were severely punished.
DEPORTATIONS
The Nazi party used passenger/boxing cars for deportations. During the ride they wouldn't give the inmates any food, nor any water to drink. Not a single drop to drink when the trip would take days when it should've only taken hours, but they made the trip longer hoping the it will have more Jews/etc. end up dying from starvation and dehydration.
TRAINS
Trains was a big part of the deportation system. One of the main roles in the plan "Final Solution" was the European network in the implementation. The Nazi party. attempted to hide their deadly intentions as inference these deportations as resettlement to the east. German and Jews from Germany distracted Europe while they were deported by rialto the killing centers in Poland while they were occupied. Deportations required the coordination to many German government ministries; and state organizations involving the Reich security main office (RSHA) the deportation, Ministry/Foreign office. The trains ministry planned train schedules and the foreign office negotiated with their allies the Nazi party stated about placing over the Jews. The inmates were told that they were being taken away to labor camps but the Nazis lied to them because in reality from deportation for many of the Jews, them getting transported meant to extermination camps.
ARRIVAL AT CAMPS
Most of the camps right as the inmates marched into camp, usually an orchestra composed of young girls often played light music to ease the fears. Right after they were placed in a camp they were specifically selected for work or death.. Although certain inmates were selected for twisted experiments to test new theories. One of the "famous" doctor Dr. Josef Mengle was nicknamed Dr. Death from his experiments. If the victim wasn't selected to be put to death, they were registered into the system. Each inmate was given a uniform and the guards had all of there files where they had all of there personal details.
PEOPLE SELECTED TO LIVE
When the inmate arrived and was selected to live, each victim was given an uniform with a different number sewn into it. After they were given there uniforms they were measured and the Nazis would have all of there personal details recorded. After the guards gave all of there "accessories" from the guards they would be taken to a room to have all of their hair shaved off to lower the risk of lice or any other infection The scissors were often dull and pulled at their hair when they were getting it cut off. Most of the time the newer victims that would come to the concentration camp would be sprayed with a disinfectant and usually it would make the victims itch really bad. When the Nazis would take them to the showers they would herd them into painfully hot waters. All of their clothesand personal belongings , they were taken into ware houses. The Nazi party would jokingly call the ware houses "Kanada"-a land of plenty far away.
CAMP CONDITIONS
The camp conditions were just horrific and very much unsanitary. More than half of the time there was no hot water. Some of the time there was no water at all. The cause of most of the deaths weren't because of working so much it was because of health and neglect.
TRANSIT CAMPS
The transit camp was a place where the Jews were imprisoned before being deported to a concentration camp. For Transit camps the selections were a regular feature at most. Every Monday evening, about 20 cattle trailers would show up at the cam. About one thousand victims would be complied by the Jewish which was made up of all leaders of the community appointed by the Nazi Party and was made to carry out Nazi orders
CONCENTRATION CAMP(LABOR)
The Nazi party made a pretty strict rule of "annihilation through work", meaning work to death; in this strict camp prisoner were deliberately FORCED to work under horrific conditions that would end up leading to illness and death because they had no medication. For example there was concentration camp named Mauthasen that made the inmates sprint 186 steps while carrying heavy boulders . The prisoners would also worked hard labor at workshops and factories that made items and clothing for the German army and German Government. In 1983 the Nazi Party was beginning to make profit from the concentration camps
DEATH CAMPS
In the death camps the main method they used to kill the inmates was to gas them in gas chambers . the gas chamber could contain 700-800 people. There would be an opening on the roof, the Nazi soldiers would pour a chemical gas called Zyklon B. Zyklon B is a cyanide gas that caused is victims to suffocate painfully & slowly over a period of about 8-20 min. /depending on the temperature. Usually causing the victims skin to be red, blotched. Adults would lift children above their heads to try to find fresh air and longer to live. In the beginning of the death camps they would just shoot them just cold dead but most of the Nazi generals were afraid of the effect it was having on the soilders, and it took to long to bury and burn so the gas chambers were faaster and they would make the alive victims who weren't killed drag the bodies out of the gas chamber.
