Since the beginning of World War II, Nazi Germany took the political course for the mass extermination of civilians, particularly Jewish.So "death squads" were eliminated about a million people.Somewhat later, the massacres began, and there were concentration camps where people were deprived of medicine and food.The concentration camps of World War II were built for the systematic killings of many people.They were built gas chambers, crematoria, laboratories for medical experiments.
The first ones were built in 1933, and a year later the SS took over their management.
Thus were created the large concentration camps in Germany Buchenwald, Maidanek, Salaspils, Ravensbrück, Dachau and Auschwitz.
1. Buchenwald (men's camp) - intended to isolate the anti-fascists.Outside the gates of the camp could see the area for building, lock-up interview, the office, the barracks (52 key) for the prisoners and the quarantine area and the crematorium, where people were killed.Where prisoners worked in the factory, manufacturing weapons.In this place we brought the Poles, Soviet citizens, Dutch, Czechs, Hungarians and Jews.
concentration camps of World War II had a group of laboratory doctors, experimented on inmates.So, it is conducted at Buchenwald to develop a vaccine against typhus.
In 1945, the camp inmates carried out the revolt, the Nazis captured and took the lead in their own hands.You can tell that they themselves have saved, as has already been given the order to kill all prisoners.
2. Majdanek - intended for Soviet prisoners of war.The camp has five sections (one of them - women).The disinfection chamber people liquidated gas, after which the bodies were taken to the crematorium, which was located in the third compartment.
In this camp the prisoners worked in a factory that produced uniforms and in the factory, which produced weapons.
In 1944, as a result of the Soviet offensive, Majdanek concentration camp ceased to exist.
3. Concentration Camps of World War II and included a children's camp Salaspils.Here the children were kept in isolation, they were deprived of care.Above them, experiments, the Nazis organized the so-called factory of children's blood.
Today this place is a memorial.
4. Ravensbruck - originally intended for the maintenance of women Germans, the so-called criminals, but later it contained people of various nationalities.
The camp conducted medical experiments on the sulfa drugs.Some time later it began to deal with transplantation of bone tissue, the possibility of recovery of muscles, nerves and bones.
In 1945, the Soviet Army began evacuating the camp.
5. Concentration camps of World War II included Dachau.This camp is intended for the maintenance of people who for racial theory, pollute the Aryan nation.Where prisoners worked in the company "IG Farben".
This camp is the most sinister of all known, it staged experiments on human beings, the purpose of which was to study the possibility to control human behavior, as here investigated the effect of malaria on the body.
In 1945 the underground organization organized a camp uprising and thwart the plans of the elimination of all prisoners.
6. Oswiecim (Auschwitz) - intended to hold political prisoners.The camp had a heel courtyard, thirteen blocks, each of which had its purpose, gas chambers and crematoria.
