Death Tolls of the Holocasut
During the holocasut, about five to six million jews were killed and about three million of them were becasue of death camps. The Nazi's did not only kill Jewish people but they also killed non-Jewish people too. They killed about nine to ten million non-Jewish people, by shooting, starvation, or overwork. Did you know that overall the holocasur was responsible for the death of nearly two out of every three European Jews. The Holocasut was known as the mass slaughter of the European civilain,but in partculrly the European Jews. The leading people of the slavs were arrested and killled. The soveit prisoners of the war were killed in capitvity.
The deaths camps were located in Germany and Poland. There were 6 extermination camps that were built in poland to get rid of the jews
Jews were being shipped frrom all over the place, for exapmle Greece, HUngary,France,Belgium, and Holland. They were pack in to frieght carts and taken to the Main camp. This is what would happen, they would pull the carts all the way pass the gate and would close the gate close, from there the y would seperate them, by the strong and good looking, to the weak and diabled. Once that happen they woud walk the useless once to the gas chamber and would kill those right then and there. it was very sad, and mostly younger child like between the ages of 13 & down and there mother would too. Most prettest women would go and work at the camps. The main camp there in Poland was Auschwitz, and that was were everybody went. There were other small ones that Jews went to but they were not as big as Auschwitz.

Life at Auschwitz
Life at the camp was hard for many Jews. Once many of them got to camp and after the seperation was donr the people whi were choosen to go to the camp and work had recived a blanket, a bowl, and a spoon to eat with. Ther were quarter, which the Jews would live at, they were supose to be horse stalls bu turned them into blocks or as we call them Barracks. There was a frame which they made had three rows going up and they would fit about 8 to 10 people per little bed thing. Those things had no instalation at all just a single wall of wood and it got really cold in there in the winter. At the gas chamber, it was quit small and the peole who were in charge of them would pack that little room with as many people in ther as possible. They would quickly shut all the doors and open a little pocket hole and open a little canister, and once you open it would turn into a gas that would sufficate them. after the gas is gone from the room, they would take the bodies and strip their clothes off ,and take out any gold teeth they had, and they have the strongest men of the Jews carry them upstairs and burn them to ashes.
