Auschwitz


Auschwitz is the largest concentration camp ever made by the Nazis. Auschwitz eventually evolved to have three main camps. The first main camp used many of it’s prisoners to expand the facilities through physical labor. They even cleared fourty kilometers just for developing areas for the camp. One of the camps even functioned as a killing center. Enemies of the Nazis were exterminated in gas chambers, used as slaves, or experimented on for medical experiments. More than one million people lost their lives in Auschwitz. Auschwitz may have started as something small but along the way grew up to one of the largest concentration camp built by the Nazis , to end many lives, and be a lasting memory.

Many of the people contained in Auschwitz were Jews, Enemies of the Nazis, and other people Hitler hated. Trains arrived at Auschwitz many times with Jews coming in from Europe or parts of Germany. With the transportation system the Jewish genocide had its highest effectiveness. There were about 1.1 million Jews derported to Auschwitz.  In the Auschwitz internment camps there were 39 subcamps where people were also sent to. Many of them were employed at huge farms like experimental agricultural stations.  They also worked in coal mines, stone quarries, fisheries, and armament industries.  In conclusion Auschwitz was a massive concentration camps that had many physical activities for the prisoners to do.
