Questions about the Holocaust?

Question

1. Who was Josef Mengele? I'd like to know where/when he was born, how he grew up, what he is famous for, how, when and where did he die ect.

2. What where the German concentration camps like? What was life like for the people who lived in them? What where some of the most famous ones?

Answer 1

1. Josef Mengele was an SS officer and a physician in the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau. He gained notoriety chiefly for being one of the SS physicians who supervised the selection of arriving transports of prisoners, determining who was to be killed and who was to become a forced labourer, and for performing human experiments of dubious scientific value on camp inmates, amongst whom Mengele was known as the Angel of Death.

2. If you were lucky, you were sent to concentration camps. If not, you'd be sent to a death camp. Usually, the ones that survive are the men. The women and children are sent to death camps. In concentration camps, the Jews are worked to death. They lived in cramped tents and scarecely got food. They were checked of their health regulary. If they were getting old or sickly, they'd be deported to a death camp.

Answer 2

1. Mengele was the chief medical officer in Auschwitz, who supervised "experiments" on selected Jews for "medical research." He was, in no uncertain terms, a very bad guy! Also known as the Angel of Death. Goto wikipedia for more info.

2. You need to rent "Schindler's List", or see a documentary on the concentration camps (you can get that info from google). The conditions in these camps were inhumane - hard to describe this in this forum. Auschwitz/Birkenau is probably the most infamous of the death camps. Dachau and Buchenwald are also infamous. Remember, the Jews weren't the only ones in these camps. There were also Gypsies, Slavs, Homosexuals, musicians, and Jehovah's Witnesses in these camps. Millions died.

Answer 3

Mengele...Doctor. Experimented on live Jews and changed around body parts, etc. A real madman.

Krakow, Auschwitz, some of the famous camps. Most werer gas camps, to die after starvation. Some just starvation camps, like Breendonk. Spread throughout Germany, Austria, Belgium, Poland. Disgusting, ugly, military, unsanitary...People's spirits and bodies died there.

Watch Schindler's List, Sophie's Choice, movies. Two new movies out now deal with it. Over 7 million Jews murdered during WW2, most in the camps.

Under this Bush in the Whitehouse there are empty concentration camps which FEMA has set up!!!! For real!!! ...now being manned in the USA, but only soldiers and guarding these empty places expecting over 100,000 Americans to be locked up as traitors, Those in power are actually descendants of the Nazis of Germany. grandpa Bush, Prescott, actually not only DID extensive business ding WW2 with them and supplied tons of Ammo and military stuff, he was best friends with them and totally believed in their philosophy and hatred of Jews and gypsies. After WW2, the Manhattan Project snuck tens of thousands of Nazis into the USA, many if whom had children and grandchildren who are now in congress as descendants of Nazis. This is factual.

Answer 4

1. I don't know
2. Horrible. Beyond that, even. People were the subjects of inhumane experiments, for example, being made to stand outside in the freezing temperatures without their clothes to see how long the human body could withstand it. Many were killed through gas chambers or put in the ovens. This is really a big subject which can be researched much more through google. A famous camp would be Auschwitz
