The Time of the Forgotten
By R. Ochs
Auschwitz is a concentration camp in Germany
meant to hold up Jewish people, gypsies and homosexuals. Around the concentration camp were electric fences to keep others from escaping. 20% of the people who arrived such as old people that are unable to work or mothers with their children would be sent away to the gas chambers. Auschwitz killed over one million people during the Holocaust, more than any other concentration camp. The camp is guarded by trusted Nazi officers called “Trusties.”

Oskar Schindler was a German spy who survived
the Holocaust. When all the Jews in Poland were losing their businesses when he went there. He wanted a store in Poland so he made a store to supply German troops with weapons. The Germans who saw him didn’t recognize he’d be a Jew if he helped them out. Schindler made a list called Schindler’s List of all the Jewish boys and girls that he could record down. He helped save Jews out of concentration camps such as one where he saved 100 of 10,000 from freezing to death. Later, he brought them back to a hospital to restore them back to health.

The Warsaw Ghetto was a fight in the Ghettos
against the Nazis. When the Germans invaded the Ghettos, they went and fought back. Kids tried to sneak in food, but the Germans found out about it and sometimes killed the kid. The Germans arrested many and sent them away to death camps and concentration camps. They blew up the hiding places of many Jews, finding and imprisoning them after words.

Zyklon B is a highly poisonous gas used for gas
chambers in German concentration camps. Zyklon B is the commercial name for Hydrogen Cyanide or HCW. The gas was supplied to camps through cyanide pipes so that none of it would escape. The Germans wanted a odor to warn Jews of their death, they didn’t want to provide that. Between 1940-1944, the gassing of Jews doubled because of some German citizens and military being very suspicious. The gassing would’ve worked until they were found out in January 1945.
