The purpose of this page is to alert the United States what is going on with the Jews in Nazi control. Jews are being brought to different places and are being enslaved. My purpose is notify you of the atrocities involving shooting and concentration camps that are going on. You must help the Jews. We need your help to stop Hitler and the Nazis.
The first camps were established by Hitler in 1933, soon after Hitler’s appointment as chancellor in January. “In German, called Konzentrattionslager, prison camps were constructed to hold Jews, Gypsies, political and religious opponents, resisters, homosexuals, and others Germans considered ‘enemes of the state.’ Before the end of WW II, more than 100 concentration camps had been created across German- occupied Europe.”(1)
Though Jews are their main target they are not the only people the Nazis are after. Hitler was also after millions of European prisoners of all nationalities which included Jews, Gypsies, Russians, Poles, homosexuals, etc. They were all kept and held in concentration camps. The victims were overwhelmingly Jewish in the killing camps.”(1) Some people or nationalities were given patches signifying where they were from. Jehovah’s Witness wore purple triangles, communists, socialists, and trade unionists wore red triangles. Homosexuals wore pink. Roma Gypsies and others the Germans considered “asocial” or “shiftless” wore yellow stars and were given tattoos of numbers on their arms in the concentration camps.
The concentration camps are so awful. The living conditions are unbearable. As soon as they are taken from their homes they were taken to wait on line, separated from their families. Men to one side women to another. Waiting on lines to be thrown into ditches of fire or to be gassed and then to be burned .
They are struggling to survive waiting for something good to come of it. At one point they had to leave a camp in a hurry when they ran out at a fast pace for more than forty-two miles. They were told to keep up and if you slowed down or stopped to catch your breath you were shot on the spot while the others must continue on.
Jewish people have undergone many harsh
punishments and living conditions. They need
your help.
