WHAT MAKES UP THE HOLOCAUST

Transporting the Jews

MANY JEWS IN POLAND AND RUSSIA WERE TRANSPORTED HUNDREDS OF

MILES, AWAY FROM HOME, IN TERRIBLE CONDITIONS THAT WOULD

TAKE THEM TO CONCENTRATION CAMPS ALL OVER WESTERN EUROPE.

These were the poorest, most

dilapidated parts of cities. They were over

crowded and diseased.

There was little sanitation,

food, or education

Ghettos Jews were not only segregated but isolated into Ghettos.

Ghettos

Concentration Camps

 THESE WERE CAMPS WHERE JEWS WERE FORCED TO GO TO, TO BE TORTURED OR TO DO WORK

What were they used for?

THESE CAMPS WERE USED TO “HOUSE” THE JEWS.

EVENTUALLY GERMANS BEGAN TO KILL THE JEWS BY USING

POISONOUS GASES, FIRE, AND TESTINGS OF MEDICAL

EXPERIMENTS ON THE JEWS

EXTERMINATION CAMPS 

THESE WERE CAMPS THAT JEWS WERE SENT TO, TO BE KILLED. THEY WERE ALSO KNOWN AS DEATH CAMPS.

DEATH CAMPS THE GERMANS BUILT SIX DEATH CAMPS.

The 6 Death Camps of the Holocaust

Auschwitz Majdanek

Belzec

Chelmno Treblinka

Sobibor

AuschwitzThe killing centre where the largest numbers of European Jews were killed. By mid 1942, mass

gassing of Jews using Zyklon-B began at Auschwitz, where extermination was conducted on an

industrial scale with some estimates running as high as three million persons eventually killed

through gassing, starvation, disease, shooting, and burning. 9 out of 10 were Jews. In addition, Gypsies, Soviet POWs, and prisoners of all

nationalities died in the gas chambers.

Majdanek

An extermination center that consisted of two camps divided into three parts:

administration section, barracks and storage for plundered goods, and extermination section. Initially, there were three gas

chambers using carbon monoxide housed in a wooden building. They were later replaced by six gas chambers in a brick and concrete

building.

Belzec

The largest single massacre action of the Holocaust and lasted twenty-one months, carried out by the Nazi extermination machine. It was a substantial part of the overall plan for the Final

Solution of the Jewish Problem - the Germans’ plan to physically liquidate all Jews of Europe. Sobibor

operated for only one purpose: to kill as many Jews including children as quickly as possible. No

selections were made for work or death - victims were brought to the camp in cattle cars and all but a handful were gassed immediately after arrival.

Sobibor

The camp consisted of two parts: administration section, barracks and storage for plundered goods; burial and cremation site. It operated three gas vans using carbon monoxide.

Chelmn0

Hundreds of thousands of Jews were at this camp. It was located near an existing penal

labour camp and covered an area of 17 hectares. The camp was surrounded by a high barbed wire fence camouflaged with

interwoven greenery to hide what was happening inside. Anti-tank obstacles and

rolls of barbed wire were placed outside the fence. Watch towers were additionally

positioned around the camp.

Treblinka

IN THE ENDIN 1945 THE WAR HAD COME TO AN

END. BY THEN, ALL THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS WERE CLOSED. AND VERY FEW JEWS

SURVIVED. MANY DIED DUE TO THE HARSH CONDITIONS OF THE CAMPS,

EXPERIMENTS, TORTURING, AND THE KILLING THAT OCCURRED AT

THE CAMPS
