Hitler became chancellor of Germany and he didn't like the Jewish people so he created killing fields or more commonly known as concentration camps and he and his followers killed approximately 5,860,129 Jews . before the Holocaust the people prospered with a population of approximately 9,796,840 million. After the Holocaust, approximately 3,936,711 remained. It was a terrible time for the Jewish people. Most people were killed in extermination or concentration camps. The camps were Auschwitz-Birkenau, Belzec, Chelmno, Majdanek, Buchenwald, Sachsenhausen, etc. There was also the Einsatzgruppe, a mobile death squad that when around and killed Jews. The prisoners in the concentration camps were Jews, gypsies, socialists and homosexuals. 20,000 such camps were built and used during the Holocaust. When Hitler became chancellor and the Nazis became responsible, the Sturmabteilung, the Schutzstaffel, the police and local authorities built these camps so they could incarcerate opponents. The Schutzstaffel established larger camps in Berlin, Munich and Saxony. In 1934 the Schutzstaffel was the only organization that could establish and manage these concentration camps. Lichtenburg was an exclusively female camp. The living conditions in these camps were truly terrible. The prisoners were starving sometimes because it was World War II. Since the war was underway, supplies were very limited. They were so crowded that they couldn't even have their own privacy. They slept on beds made of brick and wood. People would also die from the infection. The camps were not even close to toilets. In some camps they also experimented on prisoners. The Schutzstaffel did not even disinfect their own medical instruments. The prisoners would become ill with sexually transmitted diseases because ... middle of paper ... rope ... It was the first time during the war that resistance fighters in an area under German control staged an uprising. It would end in the complete destruction of the ghetto.”(The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising (April 19 - May 16, 1943)) I think the Holocaust was really terrible. Hitler and his groups killed many people. He thought it was right because he said the Jews were polluting the German race. Well, to me all Hitler could do right was give a speech. He was a very influential speaker. These concentration camps contained prisoners who hadn't even done anything wrong and now have to work, experiment, or die. I don't understand why he killed more than Jews. As I said before, he killed gypsies, homosexuals, etc. I always wondered if the United States was trying to do something to help where the Holocaust was occurring..
