Can someone give me the names of some Ghettos and Concentration Camps for the Jews during the holocaust?
~None of the camps, either Extermination or Concentration, were built with the sole purpose of housing or killing Jews. The Death Camps should not be confused with the Concentration Camps and vice-versa. There was a HUGE difference between as to purpose, function and operation.





The Auschwitz complex included three main camps. Auschwitz I and III were concentration camps. Auschwitz II (aka Birkenau) was the Death Camp. The other Death Camps commonly associated with the Holocaust were Chelmno (the first, opened in December, 1941), Treblinka, Belzec, Majdanek and Sobib贸r.





Notably absent from the list is Jasenovac. Jasenovac had the third highest body count but no more than 15% of its victims were Jewish. I suppose for that reason, it is not worthy of mention as a "Holocaust" camp. Maly Trostenets was built as a concentration camp but as many as half a million people were executed there - mostly by firing squads in nearby forests. An estimated 15% of the dead were Jewish. Maly Trostenets is seldom mentioned as a "Holocaust" death camp, either. I can only assume that is because so few of its victims were Jewish. Sajmi拧te was a relatively small scale extermination center, with the Jews representing about 10% of the 50,000 or so murdered there.





The first concentration camp was Dachau, which opened in 1933. By the end of the war, it has been estimated that there were as many as 15,000 camps throughout Germany and occupied Europe. Biggies would include Ravensbruch, Bergen-Belsen (a collection center), Buchenwald, Gross-Rosen, Le Vernet (internment), Mauthausen-Gusen, Ravensbr眉ck (labor camp for women), Sachsenhausen and Westerbork. In studying them, you would be well advised to learn the different purpose of the camps. Some were collection centers, some were labor camps and some were internment camps. There were also transit camps, detainment centers and prison camps. The Nazis also segregated the Jews (and others) in closed off sections of cities. Warsaw, of course is the best example. Vilnius and Krakow are others. Litzmannstadt, in Lodz, was second largest after Warsaw and was established for Roma as well as Jews. The first ghetto established was Piotrk贸w Trybunalski. Theresienstadt, or Ghetto Terez铆n, is something of a hybrid, being a transit/deportation facility that was neither quite a ghetto nor a concentration camp. Banjica (Belgrad) was a Serb/Roma ghetto as was Crveni Krst (Nis) , although it eventually was used primarily for interning Yugoslav communists.





British concentration camps to house Germans during the war were established on the Isle of Man, at Huyton and in Australia and Canada. US concentration camps for the Japanese, Germans and Italians were established in at least 25 states.





The world's first concentration camps were built in the US in Tennessee and Alabama in 1838 but Martin Van Buren called them ""emigration depots". The British coined the term "concentration camp" when they established theirs in South Africa during the Boer Wars. The National Socialists drew from the US and UK examples in designing their system. The also studied the exploits of the US Bureau of Indian Affairs in establishing the various genocide campaigns. The US treatment of indigenous people should be mentioned in the same breath with and studied in the same context as the Nazi programs for that, if no other, reason.





All the camps provided slave labor to people like Werner Von Braun, whose war crimes were forgiven (at least 20,000 slave laborers died during his tenure at Peenemunde) because we needed his knowledge, vision and intellect to build a delivery system for our new nuclear toys and we wanted to go to the moon. Other Nazis 'rescued' by the US in Operation Paperclip include Klaus Barbi and other members of the Gehlen Organization. They became the backbone of OSS operations behind the Iron Curtain in the early years of the Cold War and were absorbed into the CIA. Some outlived their usefulness and were cast aside and later captured elsewhere and tried for war crimes. Others continued to be protected by Uncle Sam until they died.





Nazi atrocities extended far beyond the Jews. "The Final Solution" announced at the Wansee Conference long after it had been formulated by Himmler, Heydrich and propbably Goering and put into action by them (in all likelihood before Hitler was briefed in on the project - but of course Hitler approved it) was a Jewish pogrom. Operation 14f13, the euthanasia program, was all-encompassing. The death camps only operated from December, 1941 until the spring of 1943. Himmler himself ordered them to terminate operations. He realized they were wasting a valuable and necessary source of slave labor. Jasenovac was the first he closed (because of its kill rate). Birkenau was the last. Birkenau killed more non-Jews than Jews. Birkenau continued operations into 1944 and executions continued throughout the war, but never on the scale or in the magnitude they was reached during the 18 months of Operation 14f13.





In about, about 6 million were murdered in the death camps. About 2.7 million were Jewish. Depending on the count you use, between 10 and 18 million died in the concentration camps. About 3.3 million of them were Jewish. The Eisentzgruppen killed scores of thousands more, Jew and non-Jew alike, before Himmler decided that the operations were having a negative impact on the troops involved and decided to convert to the murder factories to spare them the anguish.





Had the Red Army not repelled Barbarossa and determined the outcome of the war at Stalingrad, Leningrad, Moscow, Smolensk and Kursk, Nazi plans called for the extermination of about 30 million Slavs and another 30 million or so ethnic Poles. During the fighting retreat of the opening weeks of Barbarossa, the Soviets spirited at least a million Jews and untold numbers of others to safety behind Soviet lines. The genocide against the Serbs and Romani, as a factor of population, was more complete and comprehensive than the campaign against the Jews.





In dealing with the Holocaust, it behooves one to remember ALL the victims. The vast majority of actual and intended victims were NOT Jewish. Of the Jews who died, a great many would have been sent to the camps for other reasons even had they not been Jewish. If you want to deal with only the Jews and ignore the other victims (a dangerous way to view history and a profane disgrace and dishonor to the memory of the majority who died), it might be wiser to use the term "Shoah" instead, as they do in Israel.

Reply:Lodz stands out as a Ghetto Remember_The_Holocaust-subscribe@yahoogr... I survived the Holocaust as a teenager and now have managed the Remember_The-Holocaust Yahoo! worldwide group composed of 212 members worldwide at the request of a sincere Christian lady ..My story as well as many survivorts stories is on it. But you need to join to read the close to 15,000 messages posted in thegroup. There should be more members but I am afraid many pay lip service , but are too lazy to learn or understandably do not wish to know because it is an atrocious part of history. But for those who wish to learn still . It takes discipline, concentration to learn .. that is knowledge is inquired in a disciplined manner and a development of concentration. If you do not take the time, you will always remain ignorant obviously.
Reply:Google " German Concentration Camps of ww2 " and you will find all the information you need. The list of camps is too lengthy to list here, you will also learn where each one was located.
