experimentation ,but the Nazis also
established extermination camps…
When did concentration camps
start????????
• The first Nazi concentration camp opened in
1993 in the month of March.
• Concentration camps ended when Allied
troops liberated them in 1945 in Holocaust.
How did the Nazis round up the Jews
for concentration camps???????????
• Their method varied by areas in Portland.
• Examples: They would pass legislation
restricting where Jews could live, forming a
ghetto that could be walled in. In Russia, they
would just post a notice that all Jews within a
certain area were required to assemble at a
prescribed location from which they would
board the deportation trains
How life in a concentration camp is
like???????
•
Life in a concentration camp was basically like death awaiting you. The guards and
doctors would carry out experiments on the internees, often with no anesthetic.
They were given basic clothing and little food. Each prisoner had a number
tattooed on their arm and were treated as little more than that number.
Families were split up with no regard for the age of children. People could be
randomly killed for no reason at all.
Most of the Jews were gassed as soon as practical after arrival at extermination
camps. Those 'selected' for work generally had to perform hard labor, but a few
were used for tasks such as sorting the new arrivals' belongings.
Jews were forced to do work and were grossly ill treated and fed very little. Those
who were not killed immediately died from overwork or starvation, or disease.
How many people were killed in
concentration camps??????
Hitler ultimately wanted to establish a New
Order of absolute Nazi German hegemony in
Europe. To achieve this, he pursued a foreign
policy with the declared goal of seizing
Lebensraum (“living space”) for the Aryan
people; directing the resources of the state
towards this goal. This included the
rearmament of Germany, which culminated in
1939 when the Wehrmacht invaded Poland. In
response, the United Kingdom and France
declared war against Germany, leading to the
outbreak of World War II in Europe.

On 27th February, 1933, someone set fire to the Reichstag. Several people were arrested including a leading, Georgi
Dimitro, general secretary of the Comintern, the international communist organization. Dimitro was eventually
acquitted but a young man from the Netherlands, Marianus Van Der Lubbe, was eventually executed for the crime.
As a teenager Lubbe had been a communist and Hermann Goering used this information to claim that the
Reichstag Fire was part of a KPD plot to overthrow the government.
Adolf Hitler gave orders that all leaders of the German Communist Party should "be hanged that very night." Paul
von Hindenburg vetoed this decision but did agree that Hitler should take "dictatorial powers". KPD candidates in
the election were arrested and Goering announced that the Nazi Party planned "to exterminate" German
communists.
Thousands of members of the Social Democrat Party and Communist Party were arrested and sent to Germany's
first concentration camp at Dachau, a village a few miles from Munich. Theodor Eicke was placed in charge of the
first camp and eventually took overall control of the system.
Originally called re-education centries the Schutz Staffeinel (SS) soon began describing them as concentration
camps. They were called this because they were "concentrating" the enemy into a restricted area. Hitler argued
that the camps were modeled on those used by the British during the Boer War.
After the 1933 General Election Hitler passed an Enabling Bill that gave him dictatorial powers. His first move was
to take over the trade unions. Its leaders were sent to concentration camps and the organization was put under the
control of the Nazi Party. The trade union movement now became known as the Labor Front.
Soon afterwards the Communist Party and the Social Democrat Party were banned. Party activists still in the
country were arrested and by the end of 1933 over 150,000 political prisoners were in concentration camps. Hitler
was aware that people have a great fear of the unknown, and if prisoners were released, they were warned that if
they told anyone of their experiences they would be sent back to the camp.
It was not only left-wing politicians and trade union activists who were sent to concentration camps. The Gestapo
also began arresting beggars, prostitutes, homosexuals, alcoholics and anyone who was incapable of working.
Although some inmates were tortured, the only people killed during this period were prisoners who tried to escape
and those classed as "incurably insane".
