Upon arrival at the camps, the masses of Jews were immediately sorted for death or slave labor.
Those who survived the transport went to the famous "sorting" platforms. As soon as they disembarked the trains, they were divided up – women to one side, men to the other. One by one. every person passed by a medical doctor.
The doctor made a split-second decision: Can we wring a bit of work out of this wretched body?
There were over 100 of these medical monsters, including some of the finest doctors from the finest German hospitals. One was a professor of medicine from Harvard.
All had sworn a medical oath to uphold medical ethics and to assist humanity.
The doctor would decide: Life or death. If the decision was "death," then within two or three hours the person’s ashes went up the chimney.
The alternative – "life" – was actually "slow death."
Slave Labor Camps
Those Jews who were strong enough did not go to their immediate death, but instead to labor camps to serve as slaves for the German "masters."
Always it was under the most inhumane conditions. They were made to work, morning till night, in back-breaking labor – hauling rocks in a quarry, chopping logs in a forest, or for the “lucky” ones, working in a factory for the German war effort.
The Jews "lived" on starvation rations. A daily ration was one piece of black bread, a small slab of margarine, and a small cup of something that was supposed to be soup. Every once in a while there was something floating in it – a drop of horse meat. That was all the nourishment one received for 24 hours.
The Nazis liked to have "fun with the Jews." One quarry had a straight, sheer wall, called the "paratrooper's wall." Every once in a while, a guard would push someone off.
The "smaller" labor camps did not receive the notoriety of the death camps, but could be just as deadly. Out of 16,000 slave laborers in the Kamionka labor camp, only 36 survived the war. Read a personal account of the liquidation of the Kamionka camp.
Eyewitness Testimony: At the Work Site
During the long hike to the "work site," two-legged beasts in handsome human skins struck their charges left and right at random, just for fun. Their dogs, enormous, well-trained German shepherds, trotted after their masters, eagerly awaiting a command. At the slightest hint they leapt at the victim and tore him limb from limb; just as senselessly and randomly as their masters did; just for fun…
We plunged the rakes into the mud, wincing at their weight when we tried to lift them. Then, as we approached the wheelbarrow, the mud leaked away between the prongs until little was left. Again we bent, aiming for the thickest mud. Even so, little of it reached the wheelbarrow. Again and again we strained our emaciated bodies.
I observed my friends at this hopeless, disgusting, senseless work, whose only purpose was to torment, and another tragic scene from long ago came to mind: a picture from a history book, masses of broken Jewish slaves in Egypt building cities for Pharaoh. The caption was: "And straw for brick-making they did not supply."

I can't believe how much hatred people can have. Are theses people even human? I am Greek and I have researched and came to find that there were a lot of Greeks that were also taken to the camps. I can't believe how far this all spread. My Great Grandfather was killed in Greece by the Nazis. I feel so bad that I had ancestors that went through this as well as so many immocent Jews. God did not want this for them.

My Mom was in a labor camp in Wertingen in 1944
I'm interested in finding out if there is a register or archive of everyone that worked on the labor camps.My mom was taken from her family in Poland to work 1 year on a Nazi labor camp. The war ended berfore her year was over and she had no papers or way to get back into Poland to be with her family. She came to the U.S. with an American soldier she met in Germany. I heard they had their own olympics and my mom competed in it. If there is an archive of that I'd love to see it.

Source for German Labour Camp Prisoner Listings
I am trying to track down some of my family history from WWII. My grandmother, Maria Kobiec, was in a German Labour camp around 1941 until 1945. Although our family only knows a few details from her personal experience, she kept this part of her life very quiet when she came to Canada. Now that she has passed, I wanted to find more so I can share stories with my children so we never forget the hardship and sacrifices they made. She never applied for any benefits from Germany after the war. I am not sure whether there is an archive or listing of prisoners available or if the Germans collected this information at that time. Possibly, these were documented and maybe now in electronic form. If there is a source I can be refered to, I would truly appreciate the details. I wanted to at least make an effort. Thank you for your assistance.

buchenwald
Do you have any info on buchenwald my father was there for the whole war. He was a French Catholic. He worked clearing a road in the woods and a quarry. There were Russians but they staved to death. They experienced on the prisoners. My father got sick and thought with the Geneva convention that he would be treated fairly, but sneaking in he found a fellow soldier who they were experiencing on him. His body was bloated.His friend told him get the hell out of here or he will end up like this. MY father thought it was better to die butted to death then this.

Our vigilance
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.

Sharon, June 4, 2011 7:07 PM
It was worse than that ....
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.

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!

My Father in france not a jew also in Labor camp
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.

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.
(69) Jade, May 10, 2010 6:46 PM
why hitler was followed
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.

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..

Thank you
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.

(35) Megean, February 25, 2009 11:46 PM
Thank You
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.

(31) Ariela, January 19, 2009 5:37 PM
Very good site,, Gets straight to the point,, =)
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.
(30) A Silenced Vioce, May 27, 2008 5:46 PM
Hm.
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.
(29) rebecca, February 16, 2008 9:02 PM
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
(28) Rizzo, February 14, 2008 8:28 PM
Good site =)
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

great site for those who do not believe
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.

Jews and Germans
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.

Hey
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.

Name of labor camp near Ulm, Germany
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.

your website helped me a bunch on my paper over labor camps!!!
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!!!!!!

(11) Chris, March 16, 2004 12:00 AM
You people are the best.
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.
(10) Christina Benevich, February 27, 2004 12:00 AM
Thank you so much for this site
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!

Horor
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.
(8) Cory, December 8, 2003 12:00 AM
Nice website
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.
(7) Christopher, November 7, 2003 12:00 AM
We have learnt nothing.
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.
(6) Harry, May 14, 2003 12:00 AM
Full of Information
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.
(5) Ashley, April 8, 2003 12:00 AM
Cool Page
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.
(4) Maura, December 14, 2002 12:00 AM
depressing, yet wonderful for info.
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!
(3) LaUrEn, November 11, 2002 12:00 AM
Holacaust
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.

verry upsetting
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.
(1) Anonymous, May 13, 2002 12:00 AM
