Auschwitz I was the main camp that housed German prisoners and Polish political prisoners. The camp had a gas chamber and crematorium where medical experiments were conducted on infants, twins, and dwarves. Many prisoners, including thousands of children, died from disease, starvation, and mass executions in the gas chambers, which could kill someone in 10-18 minutes. People over age 50, pregnant women, and infants were among those sent immediately to the gas chambers.

    Auschwitz is the biggest concentration camp ever established by the Nazis.

    Auschwitz

    was separated into three camps: Auschwitz I, Auschwitz II (Auschwitz-Birkenau), and

    Auschwitz III (Auschwitz-Monowitz). Auschwitz had many prisoners, and many died. This

    specific camp took place in 1940-1945. In 1944, there were 2,864 male children in the main

    camp. Thousands of people died in crucial pain.

    Auschwitz I was the main camp which was used to house German prisoners and Polish

    political prisoners. Auschwitz, like many other camps, had a gas chamber and crematorium. The

    camp would eventually need a larger gas chamber that was built outside the compound; this was

    a place where medical experiments were done on infants, twins, and dwarfs. “Dr. Josef Mengele

    (aka “The Angel of Death”) was deeply fascinated by twins. He would have them separated from

    the other prisoners when they arrived at the Auschwitz concentration camp. Every day, the twins

    had to have their blood drawn. The true purpose of this routine is unknown.” (Bundit #)

    There were many children in the main camp. There were concentration camps for

    specifically women and children; women weren’t allowed in male camps. It is estimated that

    throughout all of the holocoust there were 1.5 million children deaths. Children over the age of

    12 had a better chance at life because they could be used for forced labor. Many children died

    from disease and starvation, but most of all the main death was mass executions from the gas

    chambers. In these chambers, “10-18 minutes” is how long it took for somebody to die.

    There were a couple other ways that people would die: infants were thrown into fiery

    ditches either dead or alive, phenol injections straight through the heart, infants were used as

    targets by being thrown into the air. People over the age of fifty and pregnant women were sent

    immediately to the gas chambers. The prison guards would act churlish to the prisoners and
    would be disrespectful. The prisoners thought that just about everything was grueling and

    terrible. Many countries came together and quelled against the Nazi-Germans in attacks.

    Auschwitz is a concentration camp. These camps had gas chambers and crematoriums. It

    took about 10-18 minutes to die in the gas chamber. Many people died from starvation, “medical

    experiments,” and mass executions from gas chambers. People over fifty and pregnant women

    were sent immediately to the gas chambers. Children over the age of 12 had a better chance at

    life because they could be used for forced labor.
