1.because the germans targeted the jews for their failures
2.An internment camp is a large detention center created for political opponents, enemy aliens, people with mental illness, members of specific ethnic or religious groups, civilian inhabitants of a critical war-zone, or other groups of people, usually during a war. The term is used for facilities where the inmates were selected by some generalized criteria, rather than detained as individuals after due process of law fairly applied by a judiciary
and
extermination camps are Extermination camps (or death camps) were camps built by Nazi Germany during the Second World War (1939–45) to systematically kill millions by gassing and by extreme work, mostly Jews. This genocide of the Jewish people was the Third Reich's "Final Solution to the Jewish question The Nazi attempts at Jewish genocide are collectively known as the Holocaust
3.that many were killed
4.thats it was wrong you shouldn kill a race that isover populated and shouldnt blame others for your failures
1.) He wanted to create the perfect or master race.
2.)Concentration camps were harsh conditions for work. They used disease to kill. Extermination Camps where they had different methods of instant killing.
3.)It shows the emotional stress put on a ton of people. People will be scarred for a long time.
4.) The Holocaust was by far the worst mass killing of any population to happen to date. You can tell Germany feels the same way by how embarrased they are about it. Hitler was a terrible man with awful selfish motives that never let up until the job was done. He was perfectly good at being bad.
1) He wanted a "master race" called the Aryans with no other races.
2) A concentration was a camp with harsh conditions for work. Here he hoped for starvation and disease to kill people. The extermination camps were places where they would just kill the jews by gas chambers.
3) It shows how severe this was. The people in those situations will be scarred for life. It paints a picture for how terrible this whole thing was.
4) The Holocaust makes me sick when I think about the cruelty of someone doing this. The part that is the worst for me is when the doctors would perform experiments on the Jews. It is sick and twisted that they would just try to kill them in weird ways for "science". That is the most inhumane thing I have ever heard of.
1.) Because hitler believed that all the bad things that happened to the country was because of the jews. and he said it was the final solution.
2.) constntration camps were for expirimenting and testing and extermination camps were just the killing of the jews.
3.) I just wander if it didnt happen and he would still be alive what he would be complaining about. if he didnt kill the jews and was still alive i wander who he would have killed.
1.)He did it because they were not a part of his prefect world.
2.)Concentration camp they treated them like crap. Extermination camp they killed them right away.
3.)The theme is that the things that happened the jews and everyone else that was there was unbearable.
4.)It was a bad idea if you ask me all it did was waste time and energy one the men and women in the war. The waste of inicent human lives.
