There were no jobs except for:

In the concentration camps, the Nazis perfected a process of sexual humiliation that disoriented girls and women at the very same time that they were separated from their families. Girls and women who, on their arrival at a camp, were not chosen for immediate death, underwent a gamut of humiliations, including exposure, crude body searches for hidden jewelry, painful body shaves and sexual ridicule. Even at the moments before death, SS men tried to demoralize Jewish women. As a member of the Sonderkommando, Leib Langfuss wrote his observations of such activity and hid his manuscript for posterity. One SS officer, he wrote, "had the custom of standing at the doorway… and feeling the private parts of the young women entering the gas bunker. There were also instances of SS men of all ranks pushing their fingers into the sexual organs of pretty young women."32 An SS officer explained that "mothers with small children are on principle unfit for work. [After they were gassed, they] were searched to see if they had not hidden jewelry in the intimate parts of their bodies, and their hair was cut off and methodically placed in sacks for industrial purposes."33 Not only were they violated in life, but they were violated in death as well.


Horrible......

You speak of the Holocaust as if it were an era in history like, say, the Industrial Revolution. Actually it means a time when millions of Jews were killed by the Nazis. Work wasn't really an option if you were heading for the ovens......
