How People survived the holocaust and what it was like.

HOLOCAUST

Date it began: January 30, 1933Date it ended : May 8th , 1945They blamed the loss of the war on the Jews.Who? Mainly GermanyAdolf Hitler accused the Jews of may things

but mostly because of the loss of the war. Hitler wanted the Jews to be cleansed from his home land so the Germans could have the power. And also other people who didn’t believe in the same rights he did.

Deaths and Concentration Camps

Deaths 5,860,ooo Jews dead out of the 11 million15,ooo concentration camps for people to be held hostage and

killed.They were sent to each concentration camp on blood,

religion, race, sex, etc.If there was not enough room for the others they would just

line them up and execute them right thereThey would put 15-40 passengers through the box carts .

People would likely stay there for 2 weeks and months with no food shelter or anywhere to go to the bathroom and people would get ill every so often. If a person died they waited until the next stop to bury the body but that could take days.

The prisoners would have to be stripped down naked and branded before entering the concentration camp

The concentration camps daily day

People would die of mostly starvation , illness, or weather

The prisoners would go to extreme costs to stay alive for as long they could

The Daily day at the concentration camps 11 hours of brutal work No food and no water 5 min break if lucky No showers ever Night time sleep with 10 people on a bunk Every day role call scariest moment of the day

• If they moved out of the lines they would just shoot them right then and there

How to manage

The Jews and many other prisoners went to the most extremes to stay alive but sometimes nobody could help them

They had gas chambers that looked like showers.

They used there own bile to warm themselves in the winter.

They groomed each other to keep the lice out of their hair.

They took clothes from the dead and clothed themselves to keep warm in the harsh winter.

After the War and the end of the holocaust

In 1945, Anglo Americans troops found the concentration camps with dead bodies, ashes filth, blood, and a lot of survivors but not as many as they were expecting

Some Jews were forced to go back to there homes. A lot of them were scared for their lives.

The emotional damage that came with it was devastating to people.

But many of the holocaust survivors were homelessThere were hundreds of refugees centers in Europe trying

to help thousands of customers day. It would have lines going around the block.

Nazis are still being hunted down today.. There are still people who thinks Hitler was a hero
