The Final Solution
The Auschwitz's
The Camps Themselves
The Nazi Party started up many death camps to work and exterminate the people who they thought were inferior. The Jewish people were the ones who were perhaps singled out the most. . Auschwitz was the biggest concentration camp of its time and three of these camps were created to enclose the inferior and kill them off. The first of these Auschwitz camps was created in 1940 and the other two in 1942, all being death camps. Auschwitz 1 was reunified with Auschwitz 2 in 1944. The difference between all of these camps was that Auschwitz 1 was more of a labor camp that had small designated areas for extermination. It also had many hospitals for experimentation on the prisoners and the sick (it was not a hospital for treating the people). The second was one of the main camps for extermination of the Jewish people. It was built with many chambers and crematoriums to get rid of the weak. The third was considered more of a labor correction camp for non Jewish people who had broken Nazi labor disciplines. All of the camps ran off the idea of working or killing the Jewish and weak community.
The Barbed-Wire Prison
The Nazis would put up barbed wiring all over the facility to enclose the prisoners into the camps and make sure nobody could escape. This picture is from the Auschwitz 1 camp and as you can see the camp conditions are harsh and very tight when hundreds and thousands of people are trying to fit through these tight areas.
The Chambers
This is one of the infamous gas chambers that was established in Auschwitz. The people who were being gased out would claw at the walls with their fingernails to try to escape the gases. This chamber would fill with innocent people, arm to arm, trying to fit as many people as they could in so they did not have to reset the room for the next group.
Oswiecim, Poland: Auschwitz
To this day...
In this video many people still visit Auschwitz to this day to comprehend the amount of death and killing that happened in the camp. All of the original structures of Auschwitz still stand even with the Nazis trying to get rid of all the evidence after their deeds. The prison that these Jewish people had to endure was a living hell.
