CONCENTRATION CAMPS

By Caoimhe Coonan Duggan

WHAT IS A CONCENTRATIO

N CAMP?

A concentration camp is a work camp set up by Nazis to kill Jews

and anti-nazis.

WHAT DID THEY WEAR IN THESE CAMPS?In these camps they wore striped pyjamas with a cotton striped hat and no shoes.

HOW DID THEY KILL THE JEWS?The Jews where overworked to death or gassed in an air tight room. But they killed pregnant women, women and children differently. They killed women (and pregnant women) by shooting them in the head, they killed kids by doing medical tests and dissected them.

WHAT IS THE NAME OF THESE CAMPS?

There were lots of these camps and some of them are:

Alderny (al-ger-ny) Banjica (ban-jic-a) Chelmno (clem-no) Dancy Fort VII Grini (gr-eeny)

WHY WOULD NAZIS DO THIS?They did this because of their leader Adolf Hitler. Hitler believed that Jews were the Devil's children.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE JEWS IF THEY DID SOMETHING WRONG?

If the Jews did something wrong they would be beaten up or they would be sent to death.

ARE THESE CAMPS STILL GOING TODAY?

No, in 1945 the Germans surrendered and all the people in the camps were set free. But the sad thing is that over 6 million Jewish were killed.
