Auschwitz- Birkenau Death Camp
Auschwitz- Birkenau Death Camp
Auschwitz-birkenau was by the provincial Polish town of Oshwiecim, in Galacia. It was where the largest numbers of European Jews were killed. They called it “The Gate to Hell”. In September 1941 the SS men (Hitlers Men) experimented with gassing and killed over 850 people. Murdering a large number of prisoners became a daily routine. By 1942 there had been three million people killed through gassing, starvation, disease, shooting, and burning. Almost every one of the prisoners was a Jew.
At Auschwitz children were killed as soon as they got there. Children born in the camp were also killed right away. There were “Camp Doctors” that would torture and cause horrible pain on the Jewish children. They were put into pressure chambers, tested with drugs, castrated, and frozen to death. Block 10 was a room in Auschwitz that was used for medical experimentation. German doctors had to sign up to use this room and they would take some of the prisoners and torture them until they died.
