Concentration Camps
Concentration Camps were something created right after Hitler and his Nazi Party had gained control. Concentration camps were Hitler's way of capturing the Jewish people of Germany and torturing them. Hitler's concentration camps quickly spread across Europe and there was many of them. This was one of the main ways that people got separated from their families because they all got sent to different trains and the trains all went to different camps but you didn't know which camp you were going to. Most of the people who were sent to concentration camps usually ended up dying there because they were treated very horribly there and the people who survived were very lucky. One of the most famous and well-known concentration camps was Auschwitz in Poland. It was well known because of the number of people there (1.3 million!!) and because of how many people died there (1.1 million!!!)

It's absolutely disgusting to see the way innocent people were dehumanized by the Nazi Party, in our not too distant history. It's frightening to see people go along with the execution of such horrible actions
It truly is impactful to see all the pain caused back then and the way superior people saw others like. But in what way were they tortured?
I like the specific example you use about Auschwitz since it really gives the reader a better understanding and perspective on how bad Hitler's rule was, especially how many people he killed. It's crazy to think about how many soldiers and people actually went along with killing so many people. I feel like at some point the soldiers should have realized what was ACTUALLY going on and should have tried to stop it.
I like how you put into perspective how families were completely torn apart and separated throughout the war. It gives good insight to the atrocities committed during the war.
The concentration camps were specifically designed to hold Jews and other enemies of the Nazi. These people were incarcerated for indefinite amounts of time and separated from their families. Everything is taken away from them over a single night.
