Auschwitz

Auschwitz By: Skyler Auschwitz was one out of the 6 major extermination camps. Auschwitz was located near major railroad lines, allowing trains to bring hundreds or thousands of people to killing sites. The Nazis at Auschwitz would kill most Jews in what they called gassing chambers. They killed mos Jews in gassing chambers because they thought it was less messy than killing them face to face. In Auschwitz they wold split the Jews into two groups one would be sent to be gassed if they were not a strong as the others. The second group would be used for slave labors. When they deported the Jews they were put into boxcars sometimes they would be trapped in the boxcars for over 3 days. They would separated the Jews on if they should live or die. The Jews that were sent to die were going to be gassed. They would prevent panic by telling them they were going to take a shower to rid themselves of lice, but the were really going to die. In Auschwitz they would not give the Jews no food if any it would be poisonous or bad cheese. Men were forced to wear ragged, striped pants, and a jackets, and women would have to wear labor dresses. On top of the entertains of the camp it said" Work brings freedom".
