Auschwitz Birkenau Research Paper

The Auschwitz Birkenau concentration camp was the most brutal,
heart-stopping camp in all of Poland.It is known for its high
killing rates.If you were ever sent to this camp you were most
likely going to die if you were weak,because they made you work until
your bones can't move and with the climate it was hell.It was so terrifying
that human bones were scattered everywhere along the dirt.

Auschwitz first opened its gates in the spring of 1940.There were
three sections to the camp,the first being Auschwitz 1 the original,
imprisoned between 15,000 and 20,000 political prisoners.When
they first entered through the main gate they were greeted with
an ironic inscription,"Work makes you free".Auschwitz ll
located in the village of Birkenau was

constructed in 1941 by the
order of Heinrich Himmler commander of the "Shutzs taffel",
more commonly know as the SS.

Auschwitz lll began operating and housing prisoners in the year 1942
and imprisoned some 10,000 prisoners.SS had the job of operating
all camps.Jews sent to Auschwitz by the middle of 1942 where
examined by doctors and sent to work,but the detainees who were too
young,or old were immediately sent to the bath houses,where they
were told they are going to take showers,but they were actually gas
chambers disguised as showers.Once all were in, they were exposed to
a chemical called Zyklon-B poison gas and slowly died.

Some of the prisoners that survived the gas chamber later died from
disease or overwork.Some prisoners were the test subjects for a
horrid man named Josef Megele,which experimented on prisoners
in such a barbaric way that he was recognized by so many people
to this day know as one of the most cruel men in Germany.He was
killing thousands of people by just experimenting with them,and
treating them as animals in which case the Germans thought they were.

World war 2 was the trademark against Germany and defeating the Nazi
members,in which case was successful,but many people today are still
believing in the Nazis and what Hitler said about Jews.To this day people
from all over the world travel to visit the one and only Auschitz camp,
were it holds a symbol to the tragedy that could happen all because of
a single man.The survivors that visit sometimes come out crying,because of
the cruel things that had happened to their family or their friends.

The Auschwitz camp was well guarded with SS soldiers blocking every
exit available and if one tried escaping they would be attacked by an
attack dog,or simply just shot down.That is the main reason why nobody dared
make an escape.Some survivors simply just said that it was virtually
impossible to escape the hell that awaits in the camp and the weather
that will strike over the camp.

Auschwitz has really taught me that the Nazis were as cruel as they
sound like because of the evidence we have today,and not forget

the
very few and rare Aushwitz survivors that explain everything they
saw with their own eyes.We are trying out best to not let
anything as worst as the Holocaust happen because it can impact
a huge chunk of the world with its chaos and brutality.
