I was in the heaviest populated death camp ever known to man. The death toll there was one million Jews (ushmm). There were six major death camps; they were Auschwitz-Birkenau, Belzec, Chelmno, Majdanek, Sobibor, and Treblinka (Louis Bulow). The camps were places where Nazis carried out their sick cause (ushmm). The Nazis murdered three million Jews in those killing centers in the matter of a few years (ushmm).
In 1933 nine million Jews lived in the twenty-one countries of Europe that would be occupied by Nazi Germany during WWII (Louis Bulow). Millions of us died in the ghettos and concentration camps due to forced labor, starvation, exposure, brutality, disease, and executions (Louis Bulow). The SS authorities continued to malnourish and mistreat prisoners incarcerated in the concentration camps (Louis Bulow). It was estimated that in each camp 6,000 Jews were gassed a day (ushmm).
The concentration camps became sites where the SS authorities could kill targeted groups of perceived enemies of Nazi Germany (ushmm). I don’t blame the Nazis for what they did. I blame Adolf Hitler, because he brainwashed and manipulated all of the people in his country at that time. He even had his henchmen kill thousands of handicapped Germans by lethal injections in the 1930s (Louis Bulow). Many people tried to escape on transports and ended up getting killed (Rogasky
