- Freud

Under Hitler's order, many concentration camps were established in Germany. The concentration camps in Nazi Germany were divided into labor camps, transfer camps, prisoner of war camps, political prisoner camps, children's camps, medical experiment camps, death camps, etc. Concentration camps were one of the main measures used by the Nazi regime to enforce its rule. The history of the concentration camps can be divided into three stages: from 1933 to 1936, they were mainly used to deal with political opposition such as the German Communist Party, the Social Democratic Party, etc. to stabilize the position of the Nazi Party; from 1936 to 1941, the concentration camps mainly focused on the German In order to operate the war machine, the prisoners in the concentration camps played an important role in Germany's war economy; from 1942 to 1945, in addition to supplementing the German labor demand, the concentration camps became the main tool to complete the German racial plan, and the death camps became the implementation of "the final The main place to resolve policy.
Among the many death camps, the more famous ones are: Cherno, Sobibor, Belzek, Treblinka, Madanek and Auschwitz. These death camps were mainly located in Poland, and few people knew about them. The death camp is surrounded by several kilometers of barren land that is completely cut off from the outside world. There is also a sign at the boundary of the death camp that reads "No Entry, Violators Will Be Shot." Taken as a whole, these killing centers were loosely referred to as "the Orient".

After batches of Jews were sent here, they were first selected. Those who were able to work had numbers tattooed on their bodies and were sent to work. The average life span was three months.
Those "losers" will be executed soon. The exteriors of the gas chambers and crematoriums were decorated very elegantly, surrounded by well-groomed grass and colorful flowers. There was a signboard with the word "Bathroom" at the entrance. Groups of people who did not know the truth were sent in to the sound of music. After entering the "shower room", the orderly dropped purple-blue hydrogen cyanide as soon as he received the order. Twenty to thirty minutes later, the person was completely dead, and the body was secretly collected immediately. Concentration camps competed to see who could exterminate the most Jews, with Auschwitz ranking first. History will never forget the record of 6,000 people poisoned in one day at Auschwitz and the horrific fact that more than 1 million people were massacred here.

It has to be said that the Nazis' behavior of destroying evidence did create great difficulties for war criminal trials and academic research. After World War II, and even today there are still some radicals with ulterior motives denying the Holocaust, but the historical truth will ultimately Confess to the world. The sharp decline in the total Jewish population during the Second World War, the personal experiences of Holocaust survivors, the discovery of some archive documents, etc., bit by bit restored the true picture of the Nazi Holocaust during the Second World War, and also It vividly demonstrates the most cruel and cold-blooded side of human nature.
