age classification of innocent people By: Akbar The holocaust was a very cruel time in which, they would use you, but you had to be a special age. As in, [|kids]  weren’t usually kept in concentration camps, they would be sent to death camps immediately to be gassed, shot, or burnt to death. Kids were normally killed and one of the highest population of people killed during the holocaust, cause if you kill the kids, everyone else in the family get tortured. If you were about 10 years old or a little older to be classified as a kid you might stay alive, but not often. If you were under 10, you would just get killed. The teenager and adults would be treated totally different in the death camps. If you were above 13 you would be kept most of the time and they would torture them, instead of killing them. If you were an adult they would definitely keep you if you were healthy and physically able. If you were above 50 they wouldn’t keep you at all or not most of time, you would be lucky if you would stay even if you were above 50, if you were 13-50 and healthy you would stay, if you were homosexual, handicap, or unable they wouldn’t keep you. The senior citizens would usually never be kept in concentrations camps and would most of the time be sent straight to the death camps to be killed. If you were above 50, then you would be killed, but sometimes if you were lucky they would keep you just for torture, but that was very unlikely. The reason they Nazis did this during the holocaust was because, if they kept someone they wanted to make them work for them and then, torture them. So they were essentially using them. So, if you were very old or very young, u wouldn’t be able to do anything, so they would kill them and keep the ones they could use with was older teenager or younger adults, kids and seniors would be killed. //"little babies thrown in a ditch" (ellie wiesel; book night) back to questions //
