Based on your findings, describe a day in the life of a person in a concentration camp. Include details that reveal housing conditions, labor, punishments and other information you have uncovered.
I've spent the past 5 minutes thinking of something in my 14 years, 5 months that could remotely fit a shred of pain in living, spending the remainder of your life in these Concentration Camps. My house has always been warm, the atmosphere loving, chores to a minimal and getting exactly what I wanted.
No moment comes to mind in my entire life that compares to the misery of 1 day in a Concentration Camp. I could not imagine a typical day or comprehend it as everything in the reverse of my life may be the only way to describe such a catastrophe.
Preston I agree. We definetly have very nice relaxed and easy lives compared to the people that lived in these camps. They went through undescribable horrors when our worst thing is things like having extra homework on some nights.
i wake up to the screaming of the ss officer yelling before dawn. with only 5 minutes to straighten up my barracks i rush out to get my breakfeast. This is where the Nazis' look for someone to do something wrong so they can beat them. then i go outside and stand at attention while the call out the hundreds of jews there, dead and alive. After they say role i have to run to the guard stand to get my uteincil i'll be using today. Than off we go my group out to work for the day. Then in the middle of the day they ring the lunch bell. Where i get 5 minutes to eat and get back to work. I'll work until dark then make my way back to the camp. When i return to camp, and i clean up to my best ability i think about my family, and wonder how they are if there free or not. Finally i fall asleep.
A typical day in a concentration camp was absolutely horrible. There were six main groups of people placed in concentration camps: Soviet POWs, Jews, Poles, Gypsies, Homosexuals and disabled people, and Catholic Clergy. You were usually put in a concentration camp because of your looks or your beliefs. While in the concentration camps the prisoners lived in buildings called barracks. The two types of barracks were wooden and brick. Wooden barracks usually consisted of 52 stalls with a three layer bunk bed in each. Wooden barracks could hold about 200 prosoners. Bricks barracks had absolutely no insulation so they were cold in the winter and very hot in the summer. Brick barracks could hold up to 700 prisoners. After concentration camps were up and running Hitler established a rule that prisoners must work a minimum of 11 hours a day. At first prisoners were forced to build their own barracks. They were actually building their own prisons. Other workers were forced to do menial work such as building roads and digging ditches. At some camps prisoners were sent to work at local factories, mills, and coal mines. The Nazis saw hard labor as another way to "destroy" prisoners. If prisoners rebelled or did something wrong they received hard punishments. The most common punishment was a beating from the officers. The officers in these concentration camps were just big bullies. If you were caught trying to escape or helping someone escape the penalty was hanging. Hangings were carried out during roll call as a way to scare the prisoners. Another punishment was execution. Early executions were carried out by firing squads. Most of the executions were carried out by gas chambers. Millions of people in these camps were killed.
I couldn't imagine having to live in these concentration camps. The living conditions would have been unbearable. I could bever imagine seeing people I've grown up with be killed every day. Even if you made it out of the camp the experience would be a burden on you for the rest of your life.
A typical day in a concentration camp was tortuous and cruel. The innocent prisoners were made up of people that Hilter & the Nazi Soilders did not like because of their religion and looks; Most were Jews, but also there were Soviet POWs, Gypsie's, Pole's, disabled people, The Catholic Clergy and homosexuals. While in Concentration Camps, the people lived in unsanitary living areas with around 700 people per building. They all slept in bunk beds, with dirty matresses, usually because the people had Diarrhea. In their living areas, you'd see Barraks swarmed with vermins such as rats, roaming the area. Many people from the Concentration Camps suffered and died. The cruel Nazi Soliders had many methods of punishing or killing prisoners. Such as execution, when the prisoners had to get on their knees and got shot in the head. Also there were hangings, fatal beatings, and leathal injections. The method that killed millions of people was what Hitler personally suggested; using gas. The prisoners were put in showers, trains, or trucks, when the deadly gas called "Zyklon B" was released in the air.
I can't even imagine the pain that each innocent prisoner went through. Millions and millions of people died, because of the evil dictator by the name of Adolf Hitler.
A concentration camp; An area restricted to hold the enemy. The enemy they refer to is no enemy but a Prisoner of War. They spent no time in jail but a word that rhymes with an H. The jobs, wether they were useful to the German Army or not, could be counted on to be backbreaking on purpose or meant to drive someone insane. Worked to death everyone in the camps were, being alive the punishment in all as everyone purposely lived in fear. If you lost your mind but still worked, are you alive?
I enjoyed Nick G's history lesson as my research didn't go in as deep as "Catholic clergy." It just shows that everyone outside of Germany was seen as inferior.
Seth that is very interesting. compared to that have a very easy life. i mean i get up before dawn but then i dont have to do half the stuff they have to do. and if history repeated its self how many of the kids in this school would end up living like this, how many of those kids could handle it?

Presten, I agree with your first comment. I say this because it would be impossible to even think about the things these people went through. It was such a depressing time for all of these people. You don't even want to think of what these people had went through and some of these people may have even been our own long lost family. It would be sad to see that everything we have today could be gone within the blink of an eye and how fortunate we are to have a society as giving as it is today.
A typical day in a concentration camp was very hard on the inmates/prisoners. The food they were given was very small and untasty. In the mornings, they were given a sort of coffee and a very small portion of bread. In the midday, they might be given a watery turnip or a cabbage soup, and in the evening they would receive a leftover of the mornings “meal”. Some of the work that they had to do was that they would be forced to work in coal mines or in farms and fisheries. The inmates were treated horribly, they were often beaten, starved or worked to death. If you were a Homosexual you were treated even more harsely. People who could’nt keep up with the work were beaten or killed. If you were sick you would be sent to the gas chambers. Any violation of this work lead to torture or being beaten.
A typical day in a concentration camp is brutal. On average, six thousand inicent victims were killed a day with no crime on their part to provoke this. Heartless SS officers, desprate to survive themselves, are forcing these hunan beings to work for a chance at survinving another day. These forced labor camps lead to thousands of prisioners dying from starvation, exhastion, and exposure. In some camps, Nazi doctors would treat select people as experiments, like lab rats, not like the human beings that they are. They experiment on these hopeless humans in order to benifit their studies at the expence of someone else's life. When they were too feeble to work, they were shot, gassed, and tourtured. No one was safe form the Nazi's vicious ways. Forced into camps were German communists, socialists, social democrats, gypsies, Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexuals, POWs (Prisioner of War), German and Australian Jews, and people acussed of crimes. This collection of people were forced to work in all conditions, including the harsh winters. SS officers used makeshift gas for effficient mass murders. Over three million people total were killed in these inhuman centers of tourture, indeed making this one of the most brutal expirience of the Holocoust.
Presten I agree with your first comment. Life today is very easy and different then it was back then. Not to mention in a concentration camp. If life was like that today, I think us as kids and teenagers would understand the value of life more if we experienced what it was like in a concentration camp.
World War II was the worst war in the history of all wars. It lasted from 1935-1945. It had several countries. For instance United Kingdom, Soviet Union, and the Republic of China.
Presten, I agree with your first comment. Everyone is lucky that we have a warm home. Also a caring atmosphere to go home to every day. We should be grateful were not in these "Death Camps"
WORLD WAR 2 WAS THE WORST WAR IN THE HISTORY OF ALL WARS IT LASTED FROM 1935-1945 IT HAD SEVERAL COUNTRIES FOR INSTANCE UNITED KINGDOM SOVIET UNION AND THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA
a normal day for a person in a concentration camp is working. they live in bunks and get a bearable amount of food. if they were punished they were killed or something else. yes master i am the best
I agree with the post Preston put up. We will never truely know how it felt to be in a concentration camp for even a day. No amount of pain and sufferage we go through will ever be on a scale of being tortured, beat, and even killed slowly and pain fully. Hopefully we will never go through that suffering the people and familes went through.
Presten,we are very lucky to be living in America, but unfortunately, there are still places in this world where people have to endure the pain and suffering that the Jews experienced during the Holocaust. The Middle East for example, is still in a state of turmoil, but hopefully when we grow up, they'll be able to govern themselves.
I agree with everyone who had said that the concentration camps were horrible. The life of a Jew would be pretty harsh and dangerous compared to the lives of Jews today, who are only hit with stereotypical jokes from the media and their audience.
a normal day in concentraion camp was crule they test methods of malring sea water potable hundreds of people killed for what they belived in and they was treated like they wasnt human. they lived in groups and sleep on bunkeds im happy to live in this present time. my heart go's out for the familys that lost someone in the holocaust. its like heaven than them days
Concentration camps were not like a summer camp we attend in the summer. These camps were worse, they were a prison. Soviet POWs, Jews, Poles, Gypsies, Homosexuals and disabled people, and Catholic Clergy were the prisoners in these camps. These people were pulled from their home towns and put into camps. Concentration camps were the camps they worked at by keeping up the faculties. Upon arriving at the camps the people were broken up into two groups. The young and strong people were sent to the camps. While the elderly people were sent straight to the killing centers, they didn’t even have the chance to even try to live. A killing center was where the murdered over 11 million people. They murdered them by showers and shootings. These showers were not hot steamy ones like the ones we take, they were gas ones. They had the prisoners take of their clothes and get into this big room. From the roof Hitler’s soldiers poured in gas and killer them. I also learned that they were not fed well. They were fed “guel” with no thoughts of seconds. As you can probably guess they also died from starvation. With learning about this information I learned a lot about how one man can impact a whole race of people life’s in ways we can’t imagine reliving.
Wow Nick G that crazy. I think that if was me in her position i couldn't live with having someone who tell me when i could eat sleep and other things . Then have every waken moment in my life scared not knowing when i'm going to die in the most gruesome way that would scare me!
Their are two types of concentration camps, they are concentration camps for slave labor and extermination camps for deportation. In the concentration camps it had no windows,it was also dark in there. A lot of people died.
Preston, I fully agree with what you said. Living in our homes we all have life so good. We do things like complain about going to school while kids in third world countries have no education, exept survival on a daily basis. The way we act, is what I concider to be pure bliss ignorance. Not even a week ago I was complaning because I was a little too tired to just unload the dishwasher, after I was playing with my friends all day. Some kids, all kids, that lived during the Holocost would do anything even beg to do even the hardest work as long as they were with their family. We take too much for granted it is almost disturbing how ingnorant we are how we exepet society as it is, which is fine, but it is almost like some of us don't know how bad the rest of the world has it. Sometimes I think about how lucky I am to have all of the things that I do, like warmth, shelter, food, water, and most important a loving, caring family.
Seth & Nick G. : I agree with both of you that life in a concentratrion camp would be extremely stressful and cruel. Especially to the enviroment and the way we live now it is much different. I don't think anyone in the United States would ever be able to last through the concentration camp like people did back then.
Seth, After reading your comment I realize how horrible and difficult a day in a concentration camp. I could not imagine living a daily life like this. This is a bad living condition.
Preston, That is a great comment we are very fortunate to live the lives we do we think we have it very tough but sometimes we just need to realize that some people have it much worse even now-adays. The things that went on in these camps were very unfortunate and just thinking about these horroble acts is almost enough to give me the chills! Great comment Preston!
Presten: i agree with yor comment. I dont think i could of survived in a concentration camp. an di couldnt even imagine seeing my best friends and people i grew uo with die right in front of my eyes.
After reading Abby and Nick's comments I really began to see how miserable life was in a concetration camp. I could never imagine waking up to such horrors... I wouldn't be able to make it! It bums me out to think that all those young kids had to go through that. Hitler was an evil person.
Presten I also agree with you...knowing that they were treated not right and it shouldn't be allowed and yes comparing what they went through yes we do have it easy in America
a typical day in a concentration camp was probably very grousom. You would probably see alot of dead people that you knew very well. If you were luck you would get about 1300 calories which would be off of moldy bread and watery soup. You would be beat almost evry day. When you would be beat, they would probably knock you unconscious and break your bones. WHen they decided that it was time for you to go, they colud send you in a gas chamber, be killed by dogs, or worked to death. conditions were very unhealthy and unsanitary and disease spread quickly. Life was very bad if you were a jew in a concentration camp and i am very glad that it wasnt me.
Your typical day in a concentration camp was very harsh and depressing. Daily, Jews, Gypsies,slaves, homosexuals, the disabled, Soviet POWs, and many more would be tortured in cruel and unusual ways. The more unlucky ones would be experimented on by the camp's 'Doctors'. The prisoners would be forced to do heavy manuel work, were stripped and led into gas chambers, ate barely half then the reccomended amount of food, were beaten, and even women were forced to serve in brothels and were brutally raped or beaten. There were different ways the prisoners were dealt with but all the same, cruelly.
Presten i agree with you. We are extremely lucky that we have a nice home to come home to. But i think that life for them wasnt lonley and boring. I think that they were able talk to eachother. I have seen some videos of that camps and i saw that the prisoners were smileing. I dont know if it was because they saw the soldiers or anything.
