Extermination camps were solely for killing. Thousands would be sent to extermination camps (like Chelmno, Belzec, Sobibor, and Treblinka) via train. Upon arrival their possesions would be taken and later sorted, the Jews (or Gypsies, Homosexuals, Blacks, etc.) would be hearded like cattle towards a field to wait for what they thought were showers. Large groups would be sent into a room where they would take of their clothes. They then were all forced to go into the gas chamber (ironically the door read " Harmful gas! Entering endangers your life"). There they were murdered and their bodies either burned in the crematory (and their gold teeth collected) or buried in mass graves. Concentration camps were a little diffrent. The process of getting there was the same, but women, men, and children would be sorted in the 'fit to work' or 'unfit to work' categories. Those who were unfit to work were killed immeadiatley by way of the gas chamber or shot at an execution wall. Those deemed fit to work were cleaned, head shaved, and tattooed with a number on their left arm. Their clothes, shoes, and all possesions were taken. They wore striped prison uniforms that most likely used to be someone else's. They were put to work, brutally experimented on, starved til near death, and in most cases died by starvation, illness, or gassing/execution. Auschwitz was both a concentration camp and an extermination camp and around 1,100,000 people died there. Mauthausen was a famous concentration camp where around 120,000 died. So the main diffrence is: extermination camps= certain death concentration camps= most likely death but small chance of forced labor and survival until liberation (especially if you were a healthy young man) The US did not cause the Holocaust. That was most if not all a European thing. The US liberated camps and freed 'slaves' once involved in that part of the war. |

Did the jews during the Millions of Jews died because
of the holocaust and many of
them lost there faith because
of this. But some didnt, some
probably kept there faith
throughout all the tourture
they went through. But since
Jews dont consider Jesus the
son of god, they cant enter
the kingdom of heaven. Dose
god still send the ones that
remained faithfull to hell?

I suggest you read allonyoav's description of the Jewish version of the afterlife. Christians have borrowed the Zoroastrianism version. http://answers.yahoo.com/quest ion/index;_ylt=AnD4MxzIaMNedQj GWdcjBbHd7BR.;_ylv=3?qid=20090 309231619AAw6rF0 . |
