What+did+the+Nazis+did+to+the+Jews?

The Jews were the most targeted during World War 2. They all went through a very unforgettable time period. And most of them didn't make it. About 6,000,000 Jews were killed. It started off that they just had to fallow a bunch or rules: cant go to train stations or restaurants, had to wear gold stars, and couldn't own any valuables. the rules got worse and worse until there was the first ghetto. "[|Ghettos] are a section of a city, esp. a thickly populated slum area, inhabited predominantly by members of an ethnic or other minority group, often as a result of social or economic restrictions, pressures, or hardships." The Nazis moved all of the Jews into the same spot and watched them. Some lived in there same homes and some had to be moved to other places. The Jews stayed here and were told nothing. They lived there with a bunch of other people and could not leave. When they finally did leave they were put on to freight carts and brought to there new home, the concentration camps. In the concentration camps the Jews had to live in harsh conditions. They were fed but not a lot, they had to sleep with hundreds of other people, they had no heat, and they had no idea where they were or where there family was. If anyone tried to escape they were either shot, hung, or they were killed by running in to the electric fence that ran around the whole camp. A typical day at the camp would be to wake up and go to roll call, there were many of these through out the day. There was also work durring the day. Some jobs were digging trenchs and moveing things like rocks or dirt. All of this had to be done as quickly as possible or you could go to crematorium. The crematorium was the place were they burned all the dead bodies. In the camp they were fed they had breakfast, lunch, and dinner but they wern't fed much. They lived in things called barracks they were all wood and the inside was narrow and small. Hundreds of people lived in them and they all slept on wooden bunks. In the barracks there were many problems like space, sickness, privecy. Concentration camps started off with a ton of little small camps and they got bigger and bigger over time. Concentration camps were harsh and unbelivable that people lived through that. If you did not work hard or looked like you could work anymore then you would go to the death camps. Here you would either be put in a gas chamber or be shot. In a as chamber they would put a bunch of people in a closed off building and gas them to death. If the people survied this and the concentration camps then they were liberated. The Nazis tried to hide the camps from Soviets so all they found were remains. They were liberated but many were dead and then they had to march to the west. If they made it then they would be free. Around 350,000 people survived and are still around today. They have all been through many tragedies and can not forget what they had been through.
