Concentration+camps

By Jason and Eliza

 ** Auschwitz camps 1, 2, and 3: **
It is **October 12th of 1939** and Germany has recently taken over Poland and begun setting up concentration camps there too. It is quite amazing that over 2,000 tanks and over 1,000 planes were involved in the take over of Poland. I'm here at home and my lovely wife and daughter just gave me this journal to write my trials and tribulations down in.

It is **April of 1940** and the camp has begun operation on the 27th  of May. I don't actually believe in Hitler's strong  dislike towards jews, Freemasons, the disabled, homosexuals and many more, but I can't do anything without being part of the Nazi party.  Firefighters, policeman and even teachers have to join the party to keep their job these days. I'm just plain scared of what would happen to my wife and children if I don't cooperate. The people rolling into camp were told that they were going to a better life where they would be free from prosecution, but we Nazi's have a special camp set up for them were they will be separated from the rest of society. This is so they don't contaminate the rest of Germany with their bad ideas. There is room for each individual family to have their own cabin with adequate sleeping palaces in hammocks.  It is now **Novmber of 1940** and the camp is in full tilt. One of the main problems lately is that the  people newly arriving at camp had no idea that they would need to bring winter coats to work in the harsh outdoors in, but one of the most exciting and disgusting things has been SS, Heinrich Himmler's visit to our camp. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> As <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">leader of the Schutzstaffel (SS) and a politician we were all not ready to get him angry. Rumors have been heard that they were <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">hurting cruelly those who didn't fit their ideal standard.

During the discussion a small peevish man brought up the idea that we didn't have to find a way to kill them because they <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(255, 0, 255);"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">were dieing regularly from malnutrition, typhus and exhaustion <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">.

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">It's the **February 10th of 1941** and another meeting was given to inform the workers of our camp about the<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">  <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Einsatzgruppen the supposed perfect way to eliminate the Jews.

I can just imagine them slaughtering them like pigs and enjoying it! Now that I look back on the beginning of our concentration camp I notice that Hitler must have been planning them for a long time because <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">when he got his power, almost immediately concentration camps like this one sprang up.<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);"> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">The **2nd of January 1942** it is today and the camp has been so busy lately I have lost track of time. <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">There has been a new development at our camp, the <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">younger children are now being killed immediately on their arrival and at birth. I don't really see their logic though because soon those little children would grow up and be old enough to work in the fields. I think it is also cruel to treat any human that way. I am beginning to hear rumors on what my friends have been doing lately through a wee girl's mouth. She has been telling me that her mommy and daddy come home every day from their work with <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">red whip marks on their backs. She also tells me that one of the people she <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">shares her bunk with is this other girl who she played <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">marbles with a few roundish rocks with. One day she came to play marbles and she was crying terribly and babbling on about something <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">called a death van. Because of knowledge I have just recently acquired I know what the Jews call death vans are <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">actually called gassing vans. <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">To camouflage them into the surroundings shutters are often added to make them look like <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);"> house trailers. Up close they definitely still look like gassing vans, but the Jews don't freak out until they get to close to run away. I have to admit that it is a good system because no one lives through the gassing so no one can tell the others what is going to happen to them.

It is **April 20th 1942** and it seems like this camps work will never end its killing, but some really think that we are doing the right thing. Personally I don't know how some think we can defeat them all. We <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">invaded Denmark on <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">April 9, 1940, but they were very peaceful and hardly ever fought back. Our leaders were very kind and <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">allowed them to keep their government in exchange for them providing the army with food. The camps Jews keep rushing in. There has been a <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">new development in camp, a few families have disappeared. <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">Even though the majority of the time we catch them when the run away and give severe punishment, the ones that escape could be telling other of what is happening and we won't be able to exterminate as many of them as easily. These few may also put ideas into others heads which would lead to more escaping. I remember clearly how the Jews were treated even before concentration camps opened. Even though as a shop keeper receiving my goods at the same place as the Jew's shop next door everyone was told that they carried rubbish items and that mine were so much better than theirs. I was happy for busyness and didn't really know the man, but I felt that I should give the his old customers money to him every week. But like everyone else I was to worried about what others would think and didn't even look at him any more when walking down the street.


 * January 1943**, Looking at my little friend who plays marbles she seems to get thinner and thinner by the day, and her friend too. I try to sneak them little morsels of the bountiful food we get, but she just can't seem to get enough. One day she got so sick that I offered to take her to the camp doctor. She and her friend informed me that word was out that the <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">doctor named<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: Verdana;"> Josef Mengele wasn't a doctor at all and just tortured them even more. When I asked what happened she said sadly that no one knows for sure, but there is evidence that they are being<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);"> put in pressure chambers, frozen fatally, drugged and various other "tests" are being preformed. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Interested I decided to check it out . <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I saw that <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">he was very interested in drawing blood from twins, but specifically identical ones.

 * May 1943,** <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">A<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);"> new gassing weapon called a Zyklin-B pellet was just put into use, it is pellet like and sends gass out into the air so the prizoners don't even know what is comming.

One of the main leaders was watching and I had no choise because this prisoner was really being rude to für. The man watching gave me a quick smile wich made me sick, how can anyone be so happy to kill. I promise myself I will never kill anyone again no matter what.
 * July, 1943**, the camp is getting more and more desperate, into burning pits the Jews go. <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">They are thrown in there dead or alive to cut the <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> costs of gassing them.

They are pretty much cold slabs of rock with holes in them. I'm glad I don't have to use them.


 * September 1943**, uh oh other countries are getting mad at our killing. They better get killing if they want to kill all Jews in Europe. The camp is a whirlwind with prisoners sleeping with around 5 people in a small bunk. What can I do!

The last five years of my life have been a blur, with the camps closing, living in fear of being executed for the man I killed, and wildly looking for my wife and daughter. I found them safely tucked away in our home and I haven't been caught yet, but still I will regret forever participating without fighting back and killing a man who really did nothing wrong Regretfully, Johnathan Braun
