What were the lives of child holocaust victims like?

Answer 1

Many small children were sent to work in the homes of the officers and high ranking officials that lived within the confines of the labor encampments. Some too young to work were euthanized along with their parents, some starved to death or died from exposure to the elements.

There were many cases of children being sent to live with relatives before the execution of the order to transfer families from the ghettos (like in Warsaw) to countries that weren't occupied.

A great number of them were subjected to experimental medical treatments. A majority of the Nuremberg trials related to the deaths of children while undergoing these scientific "tests".

To sum it up in very few words, the lives of children during the holocaust were horrid....just as children who's families weren't necessarily sent to the labor camps but were living in the midst of a war stricken area.

Answer 2

Imagine being so fearful for your life that you jump into the sewage filled latrine pit in order to try and save your life. That's just one example that I have read about.

Answer 3

SHORT.....there was a smell of gas just before the end..
