Concentration & Death Camps
• Healthier concentration camps • Weaker death camps• Pack Jews into backs of trucks and let the truck
fill with exhaust.• “Shower rooms”- Jews were told they were going
to take showers. Instead, they were locked in and carbon monoxide was released into the room.
• All dead bodies were burned and buried.• So many were burned that ashes in the air would
cover cars in nearby towns on a daily basis.
