The Labor Camps

thanx for your help i am creeating a slide show on the holocaust and this really helped me

this is is sick how far some people would go for people we don't like how can u be like that? That's the true question how and also why?and this still goes on today how can people be so selfish? when are world is crumbling and this still goes on how sad?

It's not enough to never forget. The civilized must also stand guard, with vigilance, against those that would inflict this upon the world again. We must stand together to ensure no other people(s) have to endure the barbarism and insanity of a world gone mad. Pray to the Father to give us the strength to speak up and stand as one: never to shield our eyes from the truth.

we are learning about hitler and the nazis in school and i think that it is terrible the way the jews were treated.

thanks for help me share my feelings.

That is just not right. I would have comitted suicide if they started to treat me that way. That is horrible.

That's just.. wow. I'm doing this for R.E. coursework and although this has helped me, it's really disturbed me and made me wonder why the hell did they do that? I never really thought the Holocaust was THAT bad. Pushing people off walls? Really? Jeeze..

My parents were survivors of Nazi persecution. They were deported out of Poland and sent to Germany to work as forced laborers for the germans. Because they never spoke about what happened to them during the war, it made me become obsessed with researching the Holocaust. Pushing someone off a wall was NOTHING in comparison to how they tortured jews and non jews alike. The Holocaust was the worst war to ever face humanity. Yes, it was THAT bad and then some.

I do not know how this people could such thing ,they deserve death!!!!!!!!!OOOO and this information helped on my report

That is really Terrible!!!!! People just did that!!!! Pushed the Jews off walls and didn't feed them a lot and that is what people think is ok!!!!! I'm doing L.A. Webquest project!!! This made me realize that the Holocaust was more than just a mass killing, it was a time of desperation and sadness!!! Anyone that thinks that it was just another event in history is terribly wrong! Besides the wars, this was the most important thing that we need to remember, because if time repeats itself we're in big trouble. This is a big deal that people need to remember!!! Don't discriminate people!! Whether they are black, white, Jewish, Catholic, Presbyterian, Hispanic or any other race. People need to realize how bad it hurts, maybe not as bad as dying or falling of walls or starvation, but it hurts people's feelings and it is a bad thing to do. Don't discriminate, make friends!

thanks for helping me with my research

thankyou im doing a keynote presentation on the labour camps and this really really helped

thats terrible!:'(

I'm doing an essay about the Holocaust and this really helped! But it is so sad...... I mean, why would they do such a thing...? It's just like murder, only on a massive scale...... I should write that in me essay......

This was really helpful it made me tear up a little it so sad to know that this happened and it would be horrible for it to happen again and hope that people will learn their lesson and that we should all treat each other with respect and that white people should not discriminate against black people and the other way around.

this is sad

I was in class and my teacher said that out of 130000 people at the camp Auschwitz birkenau 200000 were jews and 100000 of those were children under the age of 6

OMG!!!:( I feel terrible

THIS IS THE SADDEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN !!!!!! :((((

mannnnn crazy stuff

This is so crazy who would do that

Terrifying!

This is Horrifying! :(

this stuff just makes me wanna cry this is unbeliveable

Unbelievable. Horrifying. Tears have not ceased to flow from my weary eyes. How on earth could people watch while part of humanity is exterminated. On a miniscule scale it happened in Biafra. Then Rwanda. Then Bosnia. Watch out for Islamic extremists trying to replicate Hitler on Christains and Jews.

This is Horrible, I am doing a project for ww2 and the holocaust in History, and some of the things i read about the Holocaust makes me feel sick!!! x

Most of us visited this site for school because we are learning about this. Most of the time we learn of the bad things, the deadly things, and the worst things in history but this is definitely the worst. To the survivors and fallen warriors you will NEVER be forgotten!

This is aweful! People need to look around, and see that noone is perfect, or the same, so let everyone be who they are.. which isn't perfect.. it's REALITY!

this is terrible

this is absolutely mad. i find it disgusting that people would do these things. this was one of the worst events in world history.... :(

I would never wish for anything like that upon anyone that is just absolutely terrifing and I can't even imagine the way the Jews felt about them and that happening.

i am so digusted with all of this. i read about the experiments yeasterday and i cryed because of what the germans did to all those innocent people. hitler was a monster and was very inhumane. thanx sooo much for the website! it helped alot. on my way to get an A!!!!!!!!!

these are the saddest pictures that i have ever seen in my life. i dont no you any body would do something so dredful. this is the saddest subject that i hope i will have

thank you for this website. the horrible terrible things done during the holocaust are sickening, i am doing a essay for the school & the more i learn the more i cry & feel discusted. thank you.

i dont understand how anyone culd ever even think about doing to this to anyone. im doing a project for my 10th grade english class and this site has helped a lot. ive learned things that i wuldnt want to noe but draw me in. i will deffinattly use this site just to learn about this.

How could they do these My gosh the germans killing people and a leader telling people to do this its just wrong!!!

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR CREATING THIS WEBSITE PLEASE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. TODA RABA, JACK&RUTH ALTMAN

I noticed how many school kids have discovered these pages. You're doing a mitzvah to tell them and the world the truth. As the Shoah generation passes, the memory and stories fade. Thank you again, Aish, for keeping the memory alive so that no one ever forgets.

My father who was not a Jew but a French Catholic soldier was send to a camp in Germany as a prisonor of war he is since death so I do not know the camp's name. as a laborer he used to clear a forest with other French prisoners for a future road. One time the German soldiers were bring in a pot of so called soup. My father thinks it was the left over of the German soldier's meal dump in a pot with water. Sometimes they would find a cigaette bud and pieces of bread. Well one day they brought a pot for the prisoners and when they looked inside there was a turd of a dog. When the Germans saw the mens expression they laughed so hard they were rolling on the floor. One of the prisoner's took the trud out and they ate the soup. One day my father was coughing oup blood and he thought maybe if he would go to the clinic he would be treated better. My father knew six languages and he talk to a Russian nurse before entering . He wanted to see one of his cell mates and when he saw him he had a huge stomach and his legs arms were bloated. his freind told him told him to get out of here beacuse they keep giving him needles and he will never come out alive. My father saw first hand how they experienced on the Freanch soldiers. There were also Russian soldiers in prison at an other camp but they were starved to death. After four years my father's camp was boomed by Americans and he was able to flee back to France. My father always told me that there are good and bad in all races and religion He called the Germans his salve drivers after four years he was freed by the Americans. After he was freed he read everything he could about the war and he found out that the German people were also killed and in prison if they were against Hilter or protected Jews,or anyone that they considered unfit.

im in 6th grade and this site helped me alot on the web-quest for the devils arithmetic mrs.groce gave me a bunch to do but this site heled alot on my web-quest. thanks. =)

wow only 36 survived out of the 600,000,000 jews that died which is pretty messed up no ofense, but this site helped alot for my class assignment/project i had to do, thanks a bunch to whoever made this site=)

I believe that this was one of the most gruesome wars of all time, this was a horrible thing and very inhuman. Every survivor should be viewed as a hero, and should be listened to so that we can prevent this from every happening again.

this article is so horrifying i cant believe the jews were treated horrible like that.

wow only 36 survived

The Holocaust was avery dark period in are history. I just cannot fathom the fact that someone could cause such a large killing of people. It is just one of the most inhuman and cruelest events in history. Why and how could this have happen and millions of jews fall victum of this cruel and unfathomable suffering.

I agree that the jewish who survived the camps should be looked at as heroes because they are. They endured more than any other race has. Hitler is a disgrace. I cant consider him a person at all, no human being could do that to another race. we are all humans and no one should be treated differently because of their beliefs.

Hilter was "successful" because he made the Germans believe the downfall of World War I was due to the Jews stabbing Germans in the back. This caused the Germans to have a scapegoat because hey, who wants to take blame for losing a war? So the inherently good Germans fell victim to the lies of Hitler and followed him through his reign. Very sad and unfortunate for all.

Why!!!! Why!!

I can't believe that anyone could do this to fellow humans, hitler is a disgrace to humanity. My great grandparents were holocaust surviviors and emigrated to canada when they escaped the camps. reading this makes me very upset. I wish i had the oportunity to meet them before they passed away but i didnt. the poor souls that were forced to endure these horrific situations are heros and will always be remembered. sophie and paul zdebiak, my great grandparents would have wanted all the people who experienced the camps to be rmembered as heros.

I dont get how thee Nazis could be soo heartless too thee Jews. Theyy cant help they were born Jewish. Hitler is a disgrace to the world. He had to make himself known for hurting people maybe because he didnt get enough attention when he was younger? If he was still alive i would love to spit on his grave... to all those who lost their life to those heartless souls.. rest in peace. you'd be remembered in my eyes as survivors.. Of something far more then what manyy could handle.

You should read the Devils Arithmetic...

this is crazy , im doing a report , and they would for fun push them off the wall. what did the jews ever do to them?

Thanks for letting me know about the work camps. I can't imagine what i would do if i were in their situation.

Thanks for letting me understand all about the work camps, this is horrible. I can't imagine somebody doing this to me.

why were jews torture like this. They didnt cause any probles didnt bother anyone. They...know one decerves this those who did this had no heart, they are not human. They decerve to die!!!

this site has really opened my eyes to the terrible things that happend during the holocaust, congrats to the editor, amazing job!

i would rather die than go there for a "slow death".

this site is amazing. i have to write a 6page report on the holocaust n this helped a lot. thnx ;D

:D This really helped me with my project I had to write a 4 page report and this helped but I still probably failed

this really helped me with my 6th grade projgect!!1

This has helped me with my 7th grade research paper but i still probably failed

some of this stuff is the worst things i have ever heard in my life:(

This website is fabulous, just fabulous! It helped soo much with my A-levels and really earned by marks in the history exam. I would like to shake hands with whoever created this website, although some accounts are truly shocking...

this wabsite really helped me with my resurch. I knew hardly anything about the holocaust and world war 2. i really learned a lt about the concentraition camps. for my freshman english class we're learning about the holocaust, and we're going to read a book called 'Night'. this really helped a million and a 1/2 in my resurch.

This was immensly helpful in my resurch.

Anyone know from which Nazi labour camp, I think around Kedzierzyn-Kozlein Poland, the inmates were tattooed with an anchor within a circle? Might have something to do with IG Farben...?

I'm in the 7th grade and I'm using this site for a Web-quest on the Devil's Arithmetic. Lot's of great information!!!

Brilliant. This is just what i needed thankyou!!!

Omg I love this site it helped me a lot thanks a lot!!!!

This website really helped me get the information for my historic outline! Thyanks www.aish.com!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

I love this site it helped me alot in with me being in the 7th grade. I pray also for the people who ad to go through such a terrible and awful thing!

I am currently in eighth grade and i used this site for a webquest. This site helped alot because it gave me all of the information i needed to know. I think that the holocaust was a terrible thing because everyone is equal and noone deserves to die because of who they are. They cant help it,so they should not be punished.

thans this site is the bomb

I am a 7th grader and was required to use this website for a webquest. This helped me a lot for my assignment and gave me so much more information on the Holocaust. Even though it devastates me to hear the tragic stories, I am glad I didn't ahve to go through it. I pray for all the people who did.

i can't even begin to imagine what was going through the minds of these people. I wouldn't wish this treatment on my worst enemys.

i am in 8th grade and this site gave me a lot of great, useful information. thanks a lot!

good site

This really helped me understand more fully the work they did in a labor camp.I have a neighbor from the holocaust and he died last year but he said he'll never forget the torture he went through.

This is a good site. It helps me

understand what the prisoners went

through. I liked the first-hand

acconts. It is scary trying to picture

what these people went through, and

what you would have done if you were

in that situation.

this website helps me understand the holocaust alot better than just reading about it in books like "number the stars" by lowis lowery because it shows pictures of what it was like for the helpless jews

This site gave me a good bit of note cards and gave me my final source for my research paper. Not too much reading to do. I'm in 8th grade and my paper is due tomorrow. lol

My father was with 99th. Inf. he and some other men found a camp in Southern Germany. He would not talk about it. Until I came home VietNam and told my dad what I seen over there. Then he hug me, he never did that before. Then he said man can be cruel to one another, and we never talked about it again. But before my dad died he told me we can never forget.

THis the BeSt sIte to gEt InfOrmAtioN!!!!!!I'm in the 8th grade and this site has really tought me the history about the holocaust.

this is an awesome site to learn about the Holocaust. it gives so much detail. i feel so bad for the Jews. I am in 7th grade and i was doing a paper on the Holocaust and i got all of my info here! Thanks a ton!

I am in 5th grade and i was just searching google and i found this site and i have to say that i got most of the information and ideas from here for my project on anne frank i hope i get an A+ or atleast a A

This is a great site to learn about the Holocaust. I am in 7th grade and learning about this. I can not believe they would do this kind of stuff. This is horrible! I now know what kin of life these poor Jews went through.

This website really helps on research papers.

I REALLY LIKE THIS WEBSITE IT REALLY HELPED ME WITH MY ESSAY

This is the coolest website to go on when you are doing a reaport!!!!

this website is a really good and educative website.i go to a school in royton, england and i am doing the holocaust in history at the moment. i find this website really easy to understand. i would recommend this site to anyone around the age of 12+

Thank you for posting this article. It has really helped me one my research report on the Holocaust.

What teh Nazis and Hitler did NEVER should have happened... if i am supose to comment on this page it helped me but i just get mad whenever i see stuff on the Holocaust. I ofter wonder how anyone could kill a human for f-u-n????

This site is very educational for me

The Holocaust isn't able to understand. But we have to do something that it can't be happen again.

My father was in the 101 Airbourne Division during WWII. He has pictures of stacks and stacks of bodies in a camp somewhere in southern Germany. He thinks it was somewhere around Ulm. He remembers seeing the starving survivors walking away from the camp. He recalls they looked like walking skeletons. He also remembers he and other American soldiers gave them their food rations. Do you have any idea what concentration camp these people could have been in or from which camp the pictures of the dead could have been taken? My father did not take the pictures but a friend of his took them. The 101 was moving through southern Germany at the time with orders to stop German troops from escaping into Austria through the Breretin (spelling?) Pass.

wow all the pictures helped me on my language arts paper i had to do, ijt had many facts on all the information i needed to complete my work. i couldn't believe that a single human being would persuade millions of people into thinking that that was the right thing to do which was to kill them off hundreds by hundreds. it still scares me to think that someone could do that and not have a sense of feeling in the world at all about what they are doing and that they are killing millions of innocent souls by making them there own personal slaves to the point of dying. i think it will always scare me to even think about what those people felt at the beginning to be seperated form their own family and eventually killed or their family killed off and no one to carry on the family's last name. i wouldn't want to be someone who survived to have such painfully memories. but this website and event made me appreciate my family a lot more than i did before thank you!!!!!!
connie 14 yrs old

i cant believe they would do that

I had to do a giant World War II report that counted 50% of my history average. You people saved me, becasue you have all that information.

My fourth grade teacher gave me a book called "The Devil's Arithmetic" and it touched me so much I had to know more. Now I am in 7th and even though I am only 13 I have read and seen so much about the holocaust and shed so many tears for these victims and still, everytime I read or see something I am still horrified and I will continue to be so. It is so hard to believe that humans can be so cruel, and so heartless. I have spent alot of time trying to understand why this happened and why god let it happen. All because they were Jewish they were treated like animals. It's so hard to understand why someone whould want to do this. It hurts so much to read about these inocent victims, but I think it is important to know their story and to make sure it is never forgotten and that a tragedy so huge never happens again. As long as I am alive I want to continue to educate people about it. Thank you so much for this site!

It is so hard to believe that all of this really happened. I know that it did and so every once in a while I revisit this subject to remember history and try to learn all I can from it and if possible try understand there troubles. Things for me are not all that bad after all and be thankful for all the blessings that you have.

This website has been the most useful to me for my oral report in English. It has been full of information about the labor camps.

I does not matter how many times you read a personal story of one of the survivors, the horror is not diminished.

I believe that if you wanted to set-up a camp today and advertised for guards. The applications would roll in.

We have learnt nothing.

I am doing a research project and the information that i found here was very sad but telling. I think that this is a very good site for finding out more about the Jewish community.

This was one of the best pages I HAVE been on for information on my report about Labor Camps. The pic were great and I got alot of information.

I'm working on a project for my history class. I find that the fact that humans can be so ruthless to other humans is amazing! I feel HORIBLE for all the Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, asocials, and all the others that had to go to concentration camps and ghettos. I think this website is WONDERFUL and is PERFECT for projects. i should tell my classmates about this website!

This is an awesome website with horrible things. i am doing an NHD on the holacaust and it is very hard, but still very cool to find out about the concentration camps.

im only 12 years old and this is very upsetting for me. To watch how my for fathers lived at the time of hitler. I do think that its good to remind us of what has happend but people younger then me shouldn't have to deal with things like this. It makes me sick to my stomach to think about it.

I'm very impressed by the information in this website.I hope others are lucky enough to find this site.
