The Holocaust LIberation of Concentration Camps?

Question

In some detail, can anyone tell me how the lives of the concentration camp survivors were different in particuar and what was to become of them in the years to come?

Answer 1

I've only really known one survivor, and he was one of the most gentle, thoughtful persons I have ever met. He survived 4 years, and said most died of disease. He lived on spoiled sauerkraut, and avoided the meat, which he thought caused much of the sickness.

Answer 2

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Encyclopedia has a diverse range of articles on the camps and the survivors at http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/.

Answer 3

All the answers can be found on the Yahoo! group Remember_The _Holocaust, I am the moderator and a Holocaust Survivor. I was a very succesful person afterwards.

The primary purpose of these camps was the methodical killing of millions of innocent people. The first, Chelmno, began operating in late 1941. The others began their operations in 1942. As Allied troops entered Nazi-occupied territories, the final rescue and liberation transpired. Allied troops who stumbled upon the concentration camps were shocked at what they found. Large ditches filled with bodies, rooms of baby shoes, and gas chambers with fingernail marks on the walls all testified to Nazi brutality. General Eisenhower insisted on photographing and documenting the horror so that future generations would not ignore history and repeat its mistakes. He also forced villagers neighboring the death and concentration camps to view what had occurred in their own backyards. The types and functions of Nazi camps are covered in this section of the ...
