The Torture

Each victim had no chance of living. No one knew exactly how they would die, but the women and some of the children were the first to go. As soon as the trains came to a hault, the people inside had a good idea of what was about to occur. The Nazis had no remorse and obviously no heart. Gas chambers, starvation, intense labor, bullets, and diseases are how they died. Over 200 people could fit into one gas chamber. Thousands of people died each day, adding to the stench. Large trenches were dug to throw the deceased in, crematories were also a way of hiding the evidence. Some were even lined up and perefectly targetted and quickly shot in the head. No one went peacefully.

The Concentration Camps

The concentration camps were vastly under way soon after Hilter became Chancellor in 1933. The Jewish, Polish, Gypsies, the disabled, gay people, Jahova's Witnesses, and political adversaries were sent. The first camp was Dachau, 49 others were soon to be built as well. Auschwitz was by far the most brutal.  Being part to board a dark and dirty train equaled a gruesome outcome. They had only one way in and no chance out. The violence and destruction that Hitler put Germany through was immense.

Adolf Hitlers' Motives

No one knows exactly why Hitler did what he did. Many tributes led up to his destruction. The death of his mother and early siblings effected him tremendously. His father was very abusive and scornful, he even tortured their family dog for no apparent reason. Everything leading up to the Holocaust may also have been because his past life failures. Such as his failed attempt to enter the Academy of Fine Arts. He could not let anything go, all of his anger built up and eventually it "paid off". When Hitler approached the throne, he knew exactly what he wanted to be done. His output on anything he saw abnormal or not like him, was soon to be dead.
