	Holocaust Timeline: The Camps
		Camps were an essential part of the Nazis' systematic oppression and mass murder of Jews, political adversaries, and others considered socially and racially undesirable.
		The death camps proved to be a better, faster, less personal method for killing Jews, one that would spare the shooters, not the victims, emotional anguish.
		Ultimately, the Nazis were responsible for the deaths of some 2.7 million Jews in the death camps.

	Selected Camps: Belzec
		The location of the camps had to be in desolate places, as far as possible from inhabited areas, to maintain secrecy and to keep the knowledge of what was transpiring within them from the local population.
		And third, the camps had to be in vicinity of the occupied territories of the Soviet Union so as to encourage the belief that the Jews who had disappeared had eventually reached labor camps in the vast areas of the East" (Arad 23).
		Camp I, in the northwestern part, was the reception area, which included the railway spur, which accommodated twenty railway cars, the assembly square for the arriving deportees, and two barracks, one for undressing and the second to store personal belongings.

	A Trip to the Camps (visiting Nazi concentration and death camps)
		The camp is easy to reach by train, which is one reason the Nazis put it there, to centralize their systematic exploitation, robbery, and murder of Europe's Jews.
		The first two camps are open to the public as a museum, with educational displays housed in Auschwitz I. I was glad to see so many people at Auschwitz I, but I was saddened by the children running inside the rebuilt gas chamber and crematorium I.
		Unlike the concentration camps, the death camps in Poland like Chelmo and Treblinka were built to kill the greatest number of people in the shortest amount of time.

	American Concentration Camps
		While the inmates of these camps were, at least, spared from being made into lampshades, they were forced into labor and some were actually drafted into the military (a practice which resulted in a sharp rebuke from a federal judge when the government tried to prosecute resisters).
		Many were transferred to Camp X-Ray, a heavily fortified compound located in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in order to circumvent any efforts to apply the U.S. judicial process on behalf of those being held.
		Camp X-Ray, presumably the most humanitiarian of the detention facilities in use, is a harsh but apparently semi-humane set-up, with Orwellian propaganda posters in abundance and tiny razor-wire cells sized just large enough to allow prisoners to lie down.

	Australian Memories Of The Holocaust
		There were transit camps, labour camps, prisoner of war camps, camps for children, camps for women, concentration camps and extermination camps.

		In some sense, all of the concentration camps, and there were hundreds of them, were death camps in that thousands of inmates died of starvation, being worked to death, exposure to the elements, epidemics and disease, or simply being executed for alleged crimes.
		Sobibor extermination camp was built in March, 1942, in a forest near the village of Sobibór in eastern Poland, on the Bug River.

	Concentration Camps
		Concentration camps were camps that the Jewish, Gypsie, or other people were forced to go to, to be tortured or forced to do work.
		The people were sent from a forced labor camp to a death camp when they became old or when they were weak to be killed.
		The camp later became a walled-in ghetto (a part of a city where Jewish people were forced to live) in 1941.

	::The death camps::
		The Nazi death camps built in Poland came to symbolise the depths to which Nazism would go to fulfill Hitler's dream of a 'master race'.
		With the exception that some of the death camps had 'factory elements' to them, they were no less than places where mass murder was planned to take place.
		Some prisoners did escape from the camps and told the Polish resistance movement exactly what was going on in the camps and this information was sent to London to the Polish Government in exile who accordingly informed the Allies.

	Death camps - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
		Death camps, despite their gloomy name, were a series of fun and entertaining holiday, winter, and summer camps in the Third Reich (Nazi Germany).
		Most of the death camps operated from 1941 to early 1945, serving joy and happiness to hundreds or even thousands of Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, communists, loonies, Jehovah's Witnesses, Freemasons, and idiots simultaneously (though it was most common for loonies and idiots to be euthanized, or made younger, by their doctors).
		Thus, soon after the camps were discovered by the nations attacking Germany, swift action was taken against the Happy-Happy Joy-Joy camps and what they stood for.

		The cause of death for each was a single bullet to the base of the skull: Genickschuss -- neck shot.
		''In the concentration camps, unlike the extermination camps, everything was carefully recorded," said Udo Jost, archive manager for the tracing section of the International Committee of the Red Cross that oversees a gigantic archive whose millions of files have for six decades been kept largely hidden from public view.
		On May 16, the 11-nation commission that oversees the archives is expected to vote to allow researchers access to registration documents, identification cards, police interrogation sheets, concentration camp records, and all the other details of the millions of camp prisoners and slave laborers.

	Inside a Nazi Death Camp, 1944
		The system grew to include about 100 camps divided into two types: concentration camps for slave labor in nearby factories and death camps for the systematic extermination of "undesirables" including Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, the mentally retarded and others.
		The camp was separated from the road by a couple of barbed-wire fences, but these did not look particularly sinister, and might have been put up outside any military or semi-military establishment.
		The first Death Camp, devoted to the extermination of those the Nazis deemed undesirable, was established in 1941 at Chelmno in Poland.

	Introduction & Images of Nazi Death Camps in Auschwitz by Adrian Warren
		When camp survivors started to tell of life inside Auschwitz, their stories were of crimes of such depravity and on such a scale that it was far beyond human comprehension.
		Most of the victims, some 75% according to Rudolf Hoss the camp commandant, were gassed immediately on arrival: in the first camp the gas chamber could despatch 700 people at a time, with three ovens to burn the corpses.
		In the second camp there were eventually four gas chambers and crematoria, each of which could despatch 2,000 people.

		The object was not, as with the Germans, the extermination of a people, but instead was to use incarcerated common criminals and prisoners of war as guinea pigs in biological and, to a lesser extent, chemical warfare experiments.
		They began a vast network of Death Camps by the time World War II began, stretched from the remote steppes of Inner Mongolia to Singapore, and from Bangkok to Manila.
		Central to this empire of death was Ping Fan, a suburb of the city of Harbin in North China, where the architect of Japan's chemical and biological warfare program, Lt. General Shiro Ishii, had his headquarters.

	Killing Centers: Overview
		Unlike concentration camps, which served primarily as detention and labor centers, killing centers (also referred to as "extermination camps" or "death camps") were almost exclusively "death factories." German SS and police murdered nearly 2,700,000 Jews in the killing centers either by asphyxiation with poison gas or by shooting.
		In 1942, in the Generalgouvernement (a territory in the interior of occupied Poland), the Nazis opened the Belzec, Sobibor, and Treblinka killing centers (known collectively as the Operation Reinhard camps) to systematically murder the Jews of Poland.
		Almost all of the deportees who arrived at the camps were sent immediately to death in the gas chambers (with the exception of very small numbers chosen for special work teams known as Sonderkommandos).
