	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 total figure for the Jewish genocide, including shootings and the camps, was between 5.2 and 5.8 million, roughly half of Europe's Jewish population, the highest percentage of loss of any people in the war.
		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.

	The Danish Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies
		The SS was responsible for the administration of the extermination camps.
		The six extermination camps were all situated in former Poland and had mass murder as their purpose.
		All of the extermination camps were thoroughly organised and resembled industrial plants to an alarming degree.

	Australian Memories Of The Holocaust
		Term generally used to describe the permanent camps which the Nazis established in Germany and later in occupied Europe for the detention of political opponents and of racial and social 'undesirables' under conditions which they were unlikely to survive.

	The American Experience America and the Holocaust Benjamin Akzin
		In view of the preeminent part evidently by these two extermination camps in the massacre of Jews; equipped to kill 125,000 people per month, it would seem that the destruction of their physical installations might appreciably slow down the systematic slaughter at least temporarily.
		It will also be noted that the destruction of the extermination camps would presumably cause many deaths among their personnel--certainly among the most ruthless and despicable of the Nazis.
		Presumably, a large number of Jews in these camps may be killed in the course of such bombings (though some of them may escape in the confusion).

	Australian Memories Of The Holocaust
		By 1942 extermination facilities had been installed at the existing camps of Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka, Majdanek and Auschwitz-Birkenau.
		60% died as a result of conditions in the camp and 40% were gassed or shot.
		Murder there took many forms, from mass shootings to hanging and gassing in its seven chambers, which used either carbon monoxide or Zyklon B. About 120 000 people from 28 countries and representing 54 ethnic groups died at Majdanek.

	Auschwitz, Nazi death camp
		Auschwitz-Birkenau, Nazi Germany's largest concentration and extermination camp facility, was located nearby the provincial Polish town of Oshwiecim in Galacia, and was established by order of Reichsfuhrer SS Heinrich Himmler on 27 April 1940.
		Private diaries of Goebbels and Himmler unearthed from the secret Soviet archives show that Adolf Hitler personally ordered the mass extermination of the Jews during a meeting of Nazi German regional governors in the chancellery.
		This was probably the largest single mass deportation during the Holocaust.

	Part I - Holocaust Introductory Background Information
		The Auschwitz complex served as a concentration camp and an industrial centre for the exploitation of brutal slave labour --but it was the perpetration of genocide that became, in the end, its pre-eminent purpose.
		I did not consider myself justified to exterminate the men -- that is, to kill them or have them killed -- and allow the avengers of our sons and grandsons in the form of their childreen to grow up.
		This was one of largest camps with around 60,000 prisoners.

	Extermination camp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Extermination camps should be distinguished from concentration camps (such as Dachau and Belsen), which were mostly located in Germany and intended as places of incarceration and forced labor for a variety of "enemies of the state" or Nazi regime (such as Communists and homosexuals).
		In all Nazi camps there were very high death rates as a result of starvation, disease and exhaustion, but only the extermination camps were designed specifically for mass killing.
		These camps, plus Chelmno, which had been built earlier, were pure extermination camps, built solely to kill vast numbers of Jews within hours of arrival â“ the only prisoners sent to these camps not immediately murdered were those used as slave labor directly concerning the extermination process (e.g.

	The Holocaust - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Early elements of the Holocaust include the Kristallnacht pogrom of the 8th and 9th November 1938 and the T-4 Euthanasia Program, progressing to the later use of killing squads and extermination camps in a massive and centrally organized effort to exterminate every possible member of the populations targeted by the Nazis.
		The Holocaust was geographically widespread and systematically conducted in virtually all areas of Nazi-occupied territory, where Jews and other victims were targeted in what are now 35 separate European nations, and sent to labor camps in some nations or extermination camps in others.
		Homosexuals were also targets of the Holocaust, as homosexuality was deemed incompatible with Nazism because of their failure to reproduce the "master race." This was combined with homophobia and the belief among the Nazis that homosexuality could be contagious.

	Carlo Mattogno, Jürgen Graf: Treblinka: Extermination Camp or Transit Camp?
		Treblinka is without a doubt the best known of the four 'pure extermination camps;' in public consciousness, imprinted by media reports, it has become one of the darkest hallmarks of the 'Holocaust,' second only to Auschwitz.
		Two of these camps, Auschwitz and Majdanek, are supposed to have originally been established as normal concentration camps, but later served as 'extermination camps'[1] as well, in which the able-bodied Jews were used in forced labor, while those unable to work were gassed.
		A camp officer then announced to the arrivals that they had come to a transit camp from which they were going to be dispersed to various labor camps; for hygienic reasons, they would now take showers and have their clothes disinfected.

	The Holocaust - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Upon arrival in these camps, prisoners were divided into two groups: those too weak for work were immediately executed in gas chambers (which were sometimes disguised as showers) and their bodies burned, while others were first used for slave labor in factories or industrial enterprises located in the camp or nearby.
		Rudolf Hoess, Auschwitz camp commandant, said that far from having to advertise their slave labour services, the concentration camps were actually approached by various large German businesses, some of which are still in existence.
		Poles were one of the first targets of extermination by Hitler, as outlined in the speech he gave the Wehrmacht commanders before the invasion of Poland in 1939.

	Christianity, Truth and Fantasy: The Holocaust, Historical Revisionism and Christians Today
		The Holocaust story now centers on just six former camps in what is now Communist-ruled Poland, and the so- called "evidence" presented to prove mass exterminations in these camps is qualitatively no better than the now discredited "evidence" once cited for the exterminations in the camps in Germany proper.
		The Holocaust, the alleged extermination of some six million Jews (most of them by gassing) is a hoax and should be recognized as such by Christians and all informed, honest and truthful men everywhere.
		Revisionism has been more frequently and effectively applied to correcting the historical record relative to wars, because truth is always the first war casualty, the emotional disturbances and distortions in historical writing are greatest in wartime, and both the need and the material for correcting historical myths are most evident in connection with wars.

	Walloworld: Was the Holocaust "Morally Unique?"
		To say that the Holocaust represents the same essential evil potential that exists in all of us is not to cheapen it, nor does putting it as "first among equals" somehow lessen the enormity of what happened in the death camps.
		Over at the Truth Laid Bear, N.Z. Bear suggests two things that made the Holocaust worse: (a) that the Nazis wanted to eradicate Jewish culture as well and (b) that the extermination of the Jews was a bad thing from a scientific vantage point as it decreased the genetic diversity of humanity.
		Another aspect of the uniqueness of the Holocaust is that many of the nations which Hitler conquered were willingly complicit, helping to round up Jews and ship them off to the camps.

	Armenian Club Forum - Holocaust or Hoax: Implications and Arguments
		Since the Holocaust, i.e., the planned extermination of the Jews, is supposed to have stopped in the autumn of 1944 (13), the mass deaths in the camps in 1945 prove nothing with regards to any "mass extermination".
		However, you ought to be asking WHY the holocaust is used by the Jews as a political weapon against ANYONE who questions it before you start suggesting I -- or anyone else - is doing the hating here.
		Its so hypocritical of Armenians to hate on Jews for denying the genocide when we still have idiots like this within our population who go around and say the holocaust is unverifiable, if anything there is more documented evidence for the holocaust then there is for the Armenian genocide.
