Why was the German strategy so effective on the Jews in the concentration camps? • An elite military organization under the control of Hitler and the Nazi's, oversaw the concentration camps during the Holocaust. They were above the law and did not have to report to very many people. • Lack of oversight and falsified documents allowed the Nazi's get away with mass murder without many people knowing that it was happening. https: //encyclopedia. ushmm. org/content/en/arti cle/concentration-camp-system-in-depth
Why was the German strategy so effective on the Jews in the concentration camps? • A main goal of Nazi Germany was to rid the world of all Jews. A state as large as Germany putting large amounts of resources toward exterminating them. • Having the large infrastructure of train networks allowed the Germans to transport people in large quantities in a very efficient manner. • The systematic approach to genocide allowed the Germans to imprison and kill as many "undesirables" as possible. • They industrialized the process by selling belongings, jewelry, and even hair. This allowed the Germans to get rid of a lot of excess objects that they no longer needed https: //slate. com/human-interest/2015/10/how-the-nazis-confiscated-jewishbelongings. html https: //encyclopedia. ushmm. org/content/en/article/german-railways-and-theholocaust
-"Brainwashing" young boys and the rest of the population of Germany made it easier to gain power over the Jewish population. Why was the German strategy so effective on the Jews in the concentration camps? "As the war ground on, it became clear that the Hitler Youth’s real goal was to create more soldiers for the Reich. Children who had been saturated in Nazi ideology for years made obedient, fanatical soldiers. Eventually, those soldiers became younger and younger. Starting in 1943, all boys 17 and older were forced to serve in the military" https: //www. history. com/news/how-the-hitler-youth -turned-a-generation-of-kids-into-nazis

What was life like at a concentration camp? Each prisoner had a job: Depending on their social status, prisoners with a higher social status had the more desirable jobs, while prisoners of lower social statuses had physically demanding tasks. Prisoners had no access to water, since it was in the kitchen barracks of sector B 1. (Auschwitz-Birkenau). It was frequently damp in the Auschwitz -Birkenau camp and an enormous problem arose for the prisoners, which was lice and rats. Living in a concentration camp was hard for the prisoners: Many were killed a day and or tortured. Prisoners never knew if they were going to be killed or tortured that day, which made life depressing.

What was life like at a concentration camp? • The most frequent actions that the prisoners did to get into trouble was to take more food than they were supposed to. If they didn’t work hard or if they worked in an unsatisfactory way, they would be punished. If they smoked cigarettes, or if they went to the bathroom at an improper time. Also if they wore the wrong clothing or if they tried to commit suicide, they were punished. • Some disciplines were that they would get flogged or whipped on the back. They made them stand between the barbed wire fences and denying them food. They would even sometimes send them to the penal company, there they would be completely isolated from everyone and they would have the hardest, toughest jobs. • http: //auschwitz. org/en/history/punishments-andexecutions/other-punishments • http: //www. auschwitz. org/en/history/punishments-andexecutions/ • http: //auschwitz. org/en/history/punishments-andexecutions/the-penal-company • https: //www. britannica. com/topic/flogging
