Escaping Auschwitz? What hapened if they trioed escaping?

Answer 1

+ Most were killed in the attempt. They were kept in such a weak state that they had much less energy than most pursuers. If they were not killed in the attempt they were hunted down, and often by dogs trained to catch them(Rottweiler, German Shepard). All of the above answers have some truth and are correct. Lack of good food, sleep, inadequate cloths and housing (heating) all tend to wear you down pretty fast and make attempts less likely to succeed. Small obstacles become great obstacles, and a watch-full eye and the possibility of retribution to other innocents can move you to not risk them as well.
Good Question

Answer 2

They died. Often brutally. There are accounts of people being fried on the electric fences that encircled the camps. (Auschwits was only one of many concentration camps the Germans ran.) There was very strong encouragement NOT to escape as well. If a one person in a building was found to have escaped, 10 others would be killed as an example.

Ocassionally, one or two individuals succeeded in escaping. Most were caught and killed quickly because the Germans who lived around the camps did not help escaped Jews at all. Only one time did large numbers of Jews revolt, at a camp called Sobibor.

Answer 3

There were few oppurtunities for prisoners to escape Auschwitz. A common misconception is that Auschwitz was primarily a death camp - it was used primarily for slave labor. Other nearby camps were used more exclusively for extermination. Thus most prisoners at Auschwitz were under constant supervision - lots and lots of oversight. Often, they were supervised by other prisoners - like from Poland or Hungary. These kapos, as they were known, were often as, if not more brutal, than the Nazi guards themselves. When prisoners did rebel or attempt to leave, they were often made examples of - hung in a common camp area or shot in front of a group.
