What happened in Concentration and death camps?
There were 20,000 concentration and death camps across Europe. 80 to 100 prisoners would be packed into cattle cars and transported to the camps, which often took days. When they arrived at the Concentration camps they would separate men and women and the children would stay with their mothers. Babies were thrown into a fire or used as target practice. After registration they have to undress and have their head shaved before showering then have their old clothes replaced with striped uniforms and they got their identification tattoos. After an early wake up they would be given watery soup, small portion of bread, and imitation coffee. After their "breakfast" would be roll call then they would be given their work details for the day. After work they would get their food and then go back to their block for the night. People who were caught stealing would be hung and the SS men would make the rest of the prisoners watch. People who were too weak and exhausted to work were taken straight to Death camps where they would be taken in the gas chambers, locked in, and Zyklon B gas. After they were killed they would taken to crematoriums where they would burn the dead prisoners in ovens or would be buried in mass graves.
