By
1933 and 1945, Nazi Germany has created around 20,000 camps to take custody of
their victims. These camps were used for many reasons. They forced people to
work. They also had extermination camps. They built this so they can do a mass
murder. The Nazis have built a number of detention facilities so they can
eliminate their “enemies of state.” The prisoners in the early concentration
camps were German Communists, socialist, social democrats, ect. The meaning of
concentration camps means people very held physically in one location. In March
1938, the Nazis arrested German, and Austrian Jews. Nazis opened up camps where
thousands of prisoners died from starvation and exhaustion. These camps
expanded quickly which lead to Nazi doctors performing experiments on the
prisoners. Later during the German invasion of the Soviet Union more camps were
expanded and built in Poland. Later these camps became POW camps where
thousands of Soviet POWS were killed. In Nazis Germany, those of Jewish race
were terrorized to an even greater extent when the Nazis established the “Final
Solution” within Poland. These were even bigger concentration camps designed to
kill more prisoners at once. Gas was one of their main approaches to kill the
Jews. Many prisoners were killed and very few made it out alive due to the conditions
the Jewish had faced within of the “Final Solution”.

Significant Quotes:
(393) “He was dead. The man was dead. Just give him
five more minutes and he would surely fall into the German gutter and die. They
would all let him, and they would all watch.”
(375) "Did they
deserve any better, these people? How many had actively persecuted others, high
on the scent of Hitler's gaze, repeating his sentences, his paragraphs, his
opus? Was Rosa Hubermann responsible? The hider of a Jew? Or Hans? Did they all
deserve to die? The children?"
