| Auschwitz functioned throughout its existence
as a concentration camp, and over time it became the largest Nazi camp
ever. Auschwitz was more than a camp, it was a prison camp, an industrial center and a death camp. In the first period of the
existence of the camp,
it was primarily Poles who were here by the German occupation authorities.
these were people regarded as particularly dangerous: the elite of the
Polish people, their political, civic, and spiritual leaders, members of
the intelligentsia, cultural and scientific figures, and also members of
the resistance movement, officers, and so on. Over time, the Nazis also
began to send groups of prisoners from other occupied countries to
Auschwitz. Beginning in 1942, Jews whom the SS physicians classified as
fit for labor were also registered in the camp. From among all the people
deported to Auschwitz, approximately 400,000 people were registered and
placed in the camp and its sub-camps (200,000 Jews, more than 140,000
Poles, about 20,000 Gypsies from various countries, more than 10,000
Soviet prisoners of war, and more than 10,000 prisoners of other
nationalities.) |
|
| Over 50% of the registered prisoners died as a
result of starvation, labor that exceeded their physical capacity, the
terror that raged in the camp, executions, the inhuman living conditions,
disease and epidemics, punishment, torture, and criminal medical
experiments. Auschwitz has become a symbol of terror, genocide, and the
holocaust. It was established by the Nazis in 1940, in the suburbs of the
city of Oswiecim which, like other parts of Poland, was occupied by the
Germans during the second World War. The name of the city of Oswiecim was
changed to Auschwitz, which became the name of the camp as well. |
|
| Over the years, the camp was expanded and
consisted of the three main parts: Auschwitz 1, Auschwitz 2-Birkenau,
Auschwitz 3-Monovitz.It also had over 40 sub-camps. At first, Poles were
imprisoned and died in the camp. Afterwards, Soviet prisoners of war,
Gypsies, and people of other nationalities were also incarcerated there.
Beginning in 1942, the camp became the the site of the greatest mass
murder in the history of humanity, which was committed against the
European jews as part of Hitler's plan for the destruction of that
people. |
| |
| The majority of the Jewish men, women and
children deported to Auschwitz were sent to their deaths in the Birkenau
gas chambers immediately after arrival. At the end of the war, in an
effort to remove the traces of the crimes they had committed, the SS began
dismantling and razing the gas chambers, Crematoria, and other buildings,
as well as burning documents. |
| |
- Out of 405,000 registered prisoners, 65,000 survived.
|
- Various estimates suggest 1.6 million were murdered
|
- Out of 16,00 Soviet POW's 96 survived.
|
- The number of people executed equaled up to 4.1 million.
|
- In 1943 at least 2,500 victims were executed and exterminated there
by gassing and burning.
|
- In 1943 3,000,000 victims died of starvation and diseases.
|
- 80 percent of people at Auschwitz were prisoners and the other 10
percent worked and were slaves that did labor in the concentration
camp industries.

The newcomers to camp Auschwitz were locked up for four
weeks in a room, ten people to a bunk and the bunk was two meters long. |
|
|
Everyone in the camp suffered from sores and rashes due
to the poor food and lack of vitamins. |
|
|
Newcomers got their heads shaved regardless man or
woman. |
|
|
One of the tortures was an electric current that didn't
kill you, it just made your nose bleed. |
|
|
A jews favorite way of ending the torture was getting by
the electric fence because the watchmen were forced to shoot anyone who
approached the fence. |
|
| |
| You just got a glimpse of a little
punishment, and that's all Auschwitz really was it was punishment.
Auschwitz was cruel and found tons of ways to torture you. |
| |
| Auschwitz is known for their gas
chambers, they killed a lot of people that way. The gas was shot out of
showers and not one shower had a showerhead, nor is 15 anywhere near enough
showers for such a large room. Therefore they were called DUMMY SHOWERS,
made of wood or other materials and painted, as started by former members
of Auschwitz. The DUMMY SHOWERS were not placed there by chance, or for
purposes of decoration, but with a precise purpose: to mislead the people
entering the gas chamber, a misrepresenting implying the intention to
cause them to die by inhaling a deadly gas. |
| |
| The Holocaust was a horrible thing
but it did happen and a lot of people died especially at Auschwitz and
there is a lot of evidence that proves it, but some people can't take the
truth so they lie and act like most of it never happened. So they are what
the world calls deniers. Deniers had for years centered their arguments on
the impossibility of using gas chambers at Auschwitz. Their
"expert" was an idiot named Robert |
