Concentration Camps The years 1939-1942 marked the expansion of the concentration camps system. The concentration camps took in Jew prisoners for economic profit. The concentration camps also became sites for the mass murder of small targeted groups by the Nazi authorities. The concentration camps were a major role in the Holocaust, changing the lives of every Jew, leaving a horrible memory for those who did survive the concentration camps. The first concentration camp was camp Chelmno. Camp Chelmno was known for being an extermination camp which was a typical death camp.

Manya Frydman Perel was born in 1924 in Radom, Poland, one of ten children. Manya attended a public school as teenager and she always had the hope to go to college. However these plans were demolished in September 1939 when the Nazi army marched into the city and removed homes and businesses, and eventually confined all the Jewish people.
Manya Perel was imprisoned in a ramdom ghetto in April 1941 and then later then deported to several concentration and death camps including Ravensbrück, Plaszow, Rechlin, Gundelsdorf, and Auschwitz. She completed hard labor and nearly starved to death. Mayna on some days only ate a crumb of bread a day. Despite the horrible living conditions, scarce food rations and the constant threat of the gas chambers and death, Manya risked her life to save others. Her bravery, in the face of such hardship, is an inspiration to others.
In 1945, Manya and a friend Hannah escaped a death march from Auschwitz by running off into a dark forest at night and on May 5 the Russians liberated them. In July 1945 she was taken to a displaced-persons camp in Stuttgart, Germany where she was reunited with the remaining members of her family. She recovered here and waited for her turn to leave Europe and immigrate to North
