The Holocaust: Persecution and Sacrifice
Introduction
The Jews were held and living a Calvary. They had already passed through two phases for the Germans: the Jews cannot live as Germans (Nuremberg laws). Jews cannot live among us (ghettos) according to the US Holocaust Museum. UU. The final solution was the technical name that the Nazis used to identify their genocidal intention against the Jews. Only the authorities had knowledge of this practice, the German people or the other nations had the minimum suspicion.
Developing
Spiro R, states that in the early 1942 Germans already had 9 million Jews under their power. It is estimated that 1.5 million Jews were shot dead by the murderous brigades Einsatzgruppen, but the Nazi regime was not happy because it was a slow and messy form. Following this the Germans planned the final solution, which was approved at a conference held in Wansee, in January 1942. Instead of immigration, there is now a more possible solution to which Fuhrer has already given his consent.
That is, deportation to the east. While this should be considered merely as an interim measure, it will provide us with practical experience that will be especially valuable in connection with the future final solution. In the course of the practical implementation of the final solution, Europe will be rake west to this. After this conference, the creation of the extermination fields began. In total there were six fields: Auschwitz, Chelmno, Treblinka, Sobibor, Maidenek, Belzec.
According to the US Holocaust Museum. UU., More than 1 million people were killed in this field. To the prisoners who arrived, they were applied a tattoo with a serial number and was also placed in their uniforms. According to the US Holocaust Museum. UU., Its construction occurred in 1940 in barracks belonging to the Polish army. The authorities used prisoners to make forced labor expansion labor.
During the first year, together with the police, a total of 40 square kilometers cleared for the use of the field. The first prisoners of this field included Germans who had committed crimes and were repeat offenders. Auschwitz was built to meet 3 objectives: to imprison for an indefinite period to the enemies of the regime. Supply labor for companies that helped the SS (then would go to the production of war armaments). Group murder place selected by the Nazi regime.
In this field, medical experiments were also carried out especially in children, twins and dwarves, forced sterilizations and adult castrations were also practiced. The best known doctor for these experiments was Josef Mengele called The Angel of Death. The Holocaust Memorial Museum indicates that its construction occurred in 1941 around Brzezinka. This field had the largest population in terms of prisoners. It was divided into sections for women, for men, gypsies and Jewish families.
This was not only a concentration camp, but it was also an extermination field and one of the best to carry out the plan of the final solution devised by the Germans. At the beginning of 1941, the first tests with Zyklon B (cyanide gas) were carried out as a homicide instrument. The first victims were the Soviet and Poles prisoners. After success, the construction of a camera was carried out in the Auschwitz I crematorium and then the construction began throughout Auschwitz.
The first prisoners who were sent within the final solution plan died in the Auschwitz I gas chamber in February and March 1942. During the middle of that same year they moved the plan of the gas cameras to Auschwitz II. 2 gas cameras were built on the outskirts of this enclosure. The bunker I began operating in the spring of 1942 and the bunker II that was bigger in summer of 1942. After the deportations made to Auschwitz.
conclusion
They realized that they were not supplied, since the GASEO facilities were few. In March 1943, 4 large crematoriums began to be built where each of them contained a gas chamber, an area of nudes and crematorium ovens. The gas chambers of the so -called bunker I and II stopped working when the 4 crematoriums began their operation. The deported Jews who arrived in Auschwitz II, were selected by the SS.
The people who were healthy went to the fields to perform forced labor and those who did not go directly to the gas cameras. To keep them calm, the guards told them that they were going to take a shower to clean them and disregard them, they also caused their belongings to be left with names for when they leave there (which never happened).
