I feel the worst part about living in a concentration camp would be knowing that you are 99.99999% guaranteed to be killed by Nazis regardless of your actions. I feel that the day would start with waking up, going to work, working for a long period of time with no rest, eat a very small amount of food {rarely}, and then go back to bed. It would be pain and suffering all day long. The orders given would be almost impossible to fulfill.

For me personally I think that the worst part would be getting treated bad. My life motto is to respect those who deserve it. And getting constant disrespect on a daily basis would not settle well with me

Also I feel like the air would feel strangely moist. And it would never be quiet. Every thing would have a rough texture, not to mention the dead bodies around every corner.

I think the hardest part about living in a concentration camp would be seeing people dying of disease and hunger. I think this because you can't help them because you are suffering the same fate. I think in a normal day you would wake up to Nazis shouting at you to wake up. Then you would go to roll call and stand there for possibly even hours. Next you would be sent to your daily labor duties. When you're finished with that you go back to your barracks to get rationed food. Finally you go to sleep to repeat the same process over again. I think you would feel fear for both yourself and the people around you. I think this because they would pick random people to go to the gas chambers, be burned to death, and to be subjects in medical experiments and those people could be yourself, your bunkmate, or your own family. I think it would smell like rotting bodies and disease. I don't think you would be able to taste anything. I think this because you would be eating your food really fast, not because of the taste but because you want to satisfy your hunger. I think you would see people being beaten and taken off to be killed and you couldn't help them because if you did the same would happen to you. I think you would hear Nazis shouting orders and nothing else because of the seriousness of the situation.

I think the worst part being in a concentration camp would be the diseases everyone has. I think this is the worse because all the Jews were all in one spot, and the many diseases can spread very quickly. If one is infected, or gets sick, then everyone around that person will get very ill, or die. In a normal day of concentration camp would be that the Nazi soldiers would wake up every Jew, and each Jew would have to make their beds in a certain way. If one of the Jews did not make their bed the correct way, they would get punished. Next the Nazi soldiers would do roll call. You would stand there for hours. After roll call, the Jews would go do their daily chores. One of the chores would be that the women would peel potatoes outside next to dead bodies. After finishing your daily chores, they would go eat their rations(food). Finally, you would report to your room, and go to sleep. This is what the Jews did everyday as their routine. In my opinion, this is a horrible thing that the Nazis did to the Jews. The Jews didn't give up hope, but they faced the truth that they would die one day.

I think the worst part of being in a concentration camp would be the isolation from the outside world. They wouldn’t get to expirience anything other than electric fences, people being starved, people with disease, and people dying. On a daily basis they were barely fed. The small amounts of food they were fed was unsafe to eat and probably tasted spoiled. During the day, they’d have to work no matter the weather conditions. At night, they fit multiple prisoners one room. It would smell of dead bodies and the people who had gone without showering for weeks. They most likely felt no comfort anywhere. They probably felt starving, sad, and some even hopeless. They probably heard the sounds of Nazis yelling and people crying. The holocaust was a horrific and tragic event, that caused many to suffer even if they were completely innocent.

I think the worst part of a concentration camp would be the isolation and not being able to be around people and things that you want to be around. A day in that camp for one of those people would be a disaster because they aren’t able to eat that much they only get fed a little bit. The only things they experience are electric fences and being starved. If they tried to get out and run away they would either get caught or they would get electrocuted.

Unknown said...

I think the worst part of a concentration camp is not being able to see your love ones and not able to know when. Or watching them die right in front of you. And that they weren't really feed at all. And seeing dead bodies around the camp.

I think the worst part about living in a concentration camp would be knowing that you are going to die. It would also be bad knowing all the other people are dying. It would almost be like you are waiting in a line for death and that there is no reason to live. I think a day in the concentration camp would start off long. Then it would just be like working with illnesses right at your fingertips. Just reading the stories is almost to much for one person but actually living it would be a lot worse. It would also be really upsetting knowing that you are being tortured for you own beliefs. It would be horrifying knowing that things can get so much worse in an instant.

ιI think living in a concentration camp would obviously be miserable. From the start the lack of food would be absolutely dreadful. Then ty have the awful amount of death and pain that you and everyone else suffers around you. The complete and utter disparity that is so accustomed to the area is terrible. And watching and witnessing the death of doesn’t knowing your helpless to stop it is what is so gut renching. Daily life would start if with hard core labor then you would move on to more labor. Then you have role call and daily starvation and cigarettes life would be frail and Dirty and god hope such thing notnhave to happen again

Unknown said...

I think the worst part about living in the concentration camps would definitely be because of the isolated and caged in from everything and everyone you love. You couldn’t talk walks, go out to eat, or do the simplest things most people do on a daily basis. The Jews probably felt helpless because no one anywhere at anytime could help them at any cost. It is terrible the amount of work that the Jews where made to do every single day. Most of them probably thought that there was no reason to live if you’re just going to be in pain and misery. A day in the life of Jews would definitely seem super long and very heartbreaking. The day would start off with labor and dreadful worries. Then would come the starving, the Jews would get very small portions of food causing them to seem very skinny and fragile. Then would come more labor, and then they would go to sleep not knowing if they would even wake up the next morning still alive. During this time took the life of a lot of innocent people in ways that no one should ever be treated.

the hardest part of living in the concentration camp would be not being able to do stuff that you do at home. you wouldn’t be with your family or not being able to eat a decent amount of food. it would also be terrible because you’d be suffering and also all the people around you are suffering or dying. a day in the concentration camp would be terrible because of all the people dying and hurting you and not being able to fight back. i’d probably get killed because if anyone tried to make me suffer i would shove my finger down their throat.

I think the hardest part of living in a concentration camp would be living in total fear and filth. The concentration camps are dirty, disgusting, and most important flooded with people who spread diseases and such. I think a regular day in the concentration camp would be having to do hours and hours of work and more work they always had to line up and do roll call so imagine being with all the people. One meal a day was nothing for the people who worked over 11 hours a day because after that meal you would just be hungry again from working. They had no idea if they would even live to see the next day or if they would ever be able to be one with their families again. Imagine seeing loved ones around you dying and just lying in-front of your face stripped of everything from their clothing to dignity and pride. No one should have been through this type of excoriating pain and heartbreak. For those who did survive the holocaust truly did have a rough past and are lucky to have survived and be able to retell this horrific tragedy.

I cant imagine being in a concentration camp it would be the worst dealing with no food and being not able to clean or keeping lice out. The way people died was mostly starvation.

I think the hardest part of living in a concentration camp would be living in filth, living with diseases, bacteria, and starvation. In the concentration camps they barely gave you food they would give you like a small piece of bread and some soup. Its dumb that you had to trade cigarettes for potions of food. Just cause they are Jews doesn't mean you have to treat them differently I think all people should be treated equally, over 40 people died a day just cause of diseases, the types of diseases they had where: thyphus, headaces, fevers, starvation, ETC.

Unknown said...

I would hate to live in a consentration camp. The thing that would be the worst for me is that i would have no freedom. Auschwitz in all sounds like a horror story. We will never be able to see, touch, hear, smell ,and taste what the victims did. If i could i would see a bunch of hopeless people. I would touch my rough hard bed. I would hear crying. I would smell dead decaying bodies of my fellow peers. i would taste some gross food i would only get every once in a while. I would get to be a Jew during the Holocaust.

Ryan Morris said...

The hardest thing about about being in a concentration camp would probably be watching people die around you. Just watching person after person die every day would be horrible and not knowing if you or someone else was next. I would have to watch as maggots ate the corpses.

I'm sorry for the mistake I made up there. If I were in Auschwitz, hopefully just for a day, I'd wake up in the morning and head over to the roll call. Wake my cell-mate from their sleep, and dig a few holes. I'd go only inside the camp perimeter (hopefully!) If I were in there, I think that I'd harden up. I'd not know of the terrors, I'd only hope that I didn't die... I'd listen to them, because I'd know how it hurts, when you get caught by the guards there, I swear I'd be a better prisoner... I'd swear that I would not lie... - Ian Holbert.

In my opinion I say the worst part about being in a death camp is that you know your gonna die you just don’t know when, where, or what time. Basically your just sitting in a hell hole and being someone’s slave which is honestly not cool. If I was in a concentration, or death camp I’d probably try to run away but if I couldn’t then I’d just wish for the best and have hope, and pray. Because you never know what will happen so u can just make life easier and try to follow every order the nazi troopers give you and just have as much fun as possible because you never know what could happen

I think the worst part of being in a death camp would be the disease and lice. Watching everyone die and suffer from a disease and wonder if you’ll get it and when, and what would happen if your family member got it would be traumatic. Mental scars I think are the worse ones. The constant irritation of lice could drive you crazy, thinking about these little bugs feeding off you and how something so simple could potentially kill you (anemia). Seeing thousands of dead bodies and people you know die and for no reason at all will make you suffer something worse than pain. A day in a life in The camps would consist everyone being on edge and being tortured. They would be worked to death and scarred. There would be pain and being alert so much they could become insomniacs. You would hear every little thing that happens, like the tics of clocks from being hypersensitive. The smell would be awful as well. They would smell rotten corpses and dry air. Having to live in a concentration camp would be unbearable in all aspects that can harm you.

Unknown said...

After hearing all what happened in the concentration camps I would say that being miserable and not knowing if you'll live to tomorrow would be the one of the worst parts. A day for on of the victims in the concentration camps would be sickening. Smelling the odor of dead bodies all around you and even seeing them and tripping over them because there are so many! You'd taste dryness in your mouth from not having food or water for very long periods of time. You'd feel live crawling around in your hair because so many people were at that camp, that it spread to everyone. You'd emotional feel nothing and you'd be broken not caring if you lived on anymore, and some people ran into the electric fence just to die because they were emotional broken. You'd hear gunshots from where people were forced to remove all clothes and stand in front of a wall, could be in large groups or just by yourself, and they'd shoot everyone in front of that wall. Of course all of that doesn't sound as nearly as bad as the concentration camps were but it gives you a hint at what happened there. The thought of the Holocaust, concentration camps, all the deaths is sickening just thinking about it. Mikayla Hose

The worst part would have to be not having food because food helps you without food you’ll die. That’s how most of them died, cause they were starved to death. Then on top of that you had all kids of diseases and different things that also killed most of them. If you were just a child they didn’t care they were still going to starve you and kill you. I think a day in there at one of the concentration camps would be miserable, because you had to sleep on hard beds with a lot of people. They would wake you up early to start working you would never really shower. You barely ate food unless they wanted to feed you. The mothers could sneak more food sometimes because they worked in the kitchen but it they got caught they would just kill them. The babies would die quick because they were already small and on top of that being starved and diseases it just killed them. So for me a day at one of the concentration camps would be terrible.

The worst part about living in a concentration camp would be starvation if you were not fed daily or at least once in a while your brain functions will not work you cannot think clearly and the work that the Germans made them do required a lot of food just to have nourishment and work better. Every day you would want to give up you feel like you cannot do anything because you don't have food and the smell is something that you cant imagine and see dead bodies piled by the dozen all you smell is rotting dead bodies you see people getting murdered in front of you your food might not be clean or good and lastly you can feel the lice and bedbugs every where on yourself and you get diseases from this as well and that will make a person feel awful and then eventually death will occur unless you are very lucky.

The worst part of a concentration camp would be to have a disease and suffer the entire time you have it. Or watching people cry and dying and even a family member suffering through it and not being able to do anything. The day to day life would be scary because you wouldn’t know what happene and if you would be able to live the next day. I think the smell and feeling of knowing that people are dying around you.

Unknown said...

I think the worst part of living in a concentration camp would be the suffering. You would not get any food and no mater how long you tried to survive you would probably still end up dying. A average day would probably be wake up,work,work,work, and maybe get some food at some point during the day. It would smell very bad because of all of the dead people around you.

The worst part about about living in a concentration camp would be the desensitization you would experience. After the daily suffering and dying you would see daily it would be hard to not become desensitized. The daily life of a prisoner at a concentration camp would be simply terrible. On top of being exposed to the daily suffering of your peers and family, you would be suffering from hunger, dehydration, severe beating, and possibly disease. I believe because of the the people starving and dying around you most people would feel completely helpless and terrible almost all of the time.

I think the worst part about living in acamp would be watching people die around you. After awhile you would have to live with bodies crowding around you. You would have to smell it day after day till you died or you were liberated. People would die just like that from typhus, starvation, and gassing basically everyday. Some camps had hundreds of thousands of bodies gathering around you. So I think the worst part would be living around bodies that gathered disease and killed you.

Unknown said...

I couldn’t even live with living on one of those camps.Y ou would be easily sickined because you have to sleep surrounded by dead bodies. If I were treated like that I wouldn’t know what to you. I feel bad for the people who had to live through that.......jiavair Howard

The worst part of being in a consontrion camp would be the starvation. After goinh so long wirhout food u would start to break down. U would become less and less confindint that you wouldSurvive. You also wouldn’t think straight considering how weak you would be. A life in there shoes would be horrible . I feel as if I would work all day wirh no food . After working for so long your body needs energy. Watching body’s pile around u would be horrific as well. Dylan Handley

Unknown said...

I think the worst part of being in a concentration camp would be the constant presence of German guards. These guards constantly try to berate and belittle you this would destroy any determination to live. First you would get up to the stench of dead bodies as German guards yell at you to get up and bring them out. After that you would listen to the daily role call and messages about the day. This could take along time no matter if it was raining, snowing or below 0 degrees. Next would come working that would last until whenever it was done. Then what little food was given to you was eaten

Janissa Hayes said...

The worst part of living in a concentration camp is being isolated from the world and not having any freedom what's so ever. A day in a concentration camp will be waking up starving. Working all day with no breaks. Barely getting anything to eat. Not knowing if you are going to die that day or the next. Sleeping with at least one hundred people. Your day would honestly be terrible. Disease and lice going everywhere. Imagine doing something the Nazi's didn't like and you were probably dead. Having dead bodies everywhere is disgusting so I don't know how anybody could live in these horrific conditions.

Unknown said...

The worst part of living in the concentration camp would be the living conditions. No matter how you felt that day you would have to go out and do work for the Germans, the people who wear tearing apart the Jews. You would have to look around and see all the dead bodies around you and have to be okay with it because if you said something you would be killed.

If i was in a contraction camp it all would be bad. It would all be horrible the gassing watching your friends and family die. Going to sleep and not knowing whether you where going to wake up the next day. Through the day they probably felt worried, constant fear,hopelessness. Never knowing if you will get food or sleep or even die will just haunt you for as long as your day is. The smell of the dead around you. Always being hungry and not knowing if you where to ever get another meal. Seeing all the people dead and alive and the ones who where alive suffered through work, pain and agony. I would never want that to happen again it was a horrible thing to happen in our history. Not that many people are alive now from the holocaust. But the ones that are tell there story's around the world.

Unknown said...

The people in the camps went threw a lot in our days people havent seen what suffer is tye camps were full of sickness in the camps there is no telling when your going to die because there is so many ways to die you have to work when and where they tell you to you dont have a choice to do anything without them telling you to and if you do something wrong you could be killed.

Ean DeBarr said...

Living in a concentration camp is just torture and with that being said everyone in that camp was being labeled as had people because of there religion. If being in there for a day you would be dead because people now days don’t have the mind set.

Living in a concentration camp would suck. It would be horrible to live with death. All the people diseased. And everyone you know is going to die. I would not like it. Shea Divas

adora muncy said...

I think the hardest thing would be. TO live with all the smells. Of dead bodys and people starting to die. The smells must have been so bad with people dieing. So offten and all the garbge. Even after they died the stench stayed with them burning there bodys. The over flowing toliets. Using the bathroom at night in there cells.
