JEWISH LIFESTYLE How do you think the Jews lived their life while being ruled by people? Their life was very cruel and harsh. Some of the Jews went to concentration camps. The Nazis set up camps for Jews to go to and they either killed them or put them into forced labor. For the Jews that weren’t in concentration camps, they didn’t have any privileges. The nazis took away all of the valuables like radios, cameras, jewelry, Television sets, and other valuables like that. Also in most of the Jewish homes they were lacking basic materials like food, water, heat and other basic materials.

EXTERMINATION CAMPS How many Jews were killed? How did the nazis do that?

About 6 million Jews were killed in total and the nazis used the extermination camps to kill them.

The extermination camps are camps that the nazis took the Jews to kill them in mass numbers. They had 6 extermination camps and Auschwitz was the biggest killing a total of 1 million in total. In the camps they had gas chambers that the Nazis used to kill the Jews. The gas chambers are bunkers that the Jews would go into,thinking that they were going to take a shower, then the nazis would through gas into the bunker killing all. The gas chamber would hold up to 1,200 people in it.

CONCLUSION In conclusion the Holocaust was a horrible time in central Europe where the Nazi Germans killed the Jews/ Non Christians, because Adolf Hitler wanted to have a pure race. About 6 million jews/non Christians were killed in this horrible time.
