My research report is on concentration camps during the Holocaust. During my research, I found that all the concentration camps were 
terrible, but the wrost ones were Buchenwald, Auschwitz, Dahcau, and Treblinka. The brutality and horror that men, women, and children were subjected to every day will remain in our thoughts permanently. Those of us too young to remember this horror rely on history books, family and friends for the knowledge of this unspeakable act of terror.
Before the reign of Hitler in 1933, 500,000 Jews were fully accepted by the Germans as Germans, and were prominent in the fields of finance, commerce, scince and the arts. The Jews had also fought for their country in World War I. Then the terror began. In May of 1938, Hitler ordered the Nazis to begin the mass arrest of Jews. The Nazis classified you as a Jew if you had two Jewish grandparents, or if you were married to a Jew. You were classified German if you only had one Jewish Great-grandparent. Then to make matters worse, in early 1941, Hitler ordered the extermination of Jews. However, Jews were not the only victims, but they were the only victims singled out. Other victims included Poles, Russians, Gypsies, Homosezuals, and other political dissidents. The Nazis also imprisoned Christians, and the Nazis exterminated more than five million of them. The motivation of this act, was entirely racial. With that, the Nazis turned death into a large-scale merciless 
buisness. More than one million Jewish babies and children were victims by the time Hitler lost power in 1945. However, the damage had already been done by leaving Europe in shambles, and more than 30 million dead.
One of the concentration camps was Dachau, which was the first concentration camp, built in 1933, detaining communists and other political dissidents. Another famous camp was Treblinka which is 80 km from Warsaw. The Nazis established Treblinka as a slave camp in 1941, but later in 1942, turned Treblinka into a death camp.
Buchenwald, which was as large as Dachau, was established in 1937, and was basically used for medical experiments performed by Nazi doctors. More than 50,000 people died in Buchenwald before U.S. troops finally liberated it in April of 1945. The most horrendous camp of all was Auschwitz,
where more than two and a half million people died. Oswiecim, the German name for Aschwitz, was the main extermination center where thousands of victims were put to death each week. Alone, four million people died in crematories. Then on January 27, 1945, Soviet troops liberated 7,600 Auschwitz survivors.
Jews hid with people in other countries to avoid deportation to Germany and possibly to the death camps, but more citizens, who were also considered political dissidents, were being arrested by the Nazis usually without a trial. The Nazis tattooed numbers on all of their prisoner's arms, taking away their identity and their good name. The camp system was rapidly expanding, forcing a new camp to be built in the East, but as the vast number of Jews arrested grew, they posed the East with special problems. The whole camp system was almost at breaking point, when the Nazis came up with the "Final Solution" 
which was the systematic murder of the Jewish population.
Meanwhile, the East was still faced with problems. The solution to some of these problems was mass murder. One method of killing were the gas chambers which were disguised as bathhouses. After forcing the people to get undressed, they were led into an airtight room which filled with cyanide or carbon monoxide gas released through the shower heads. If the prisoners breathed deeply enough, death was almost at once. In 15 minutes, there were more than two thousand bodies, and then the Nazis cremated the bodies. The clothes and valubles the victims took off before being killed were then disposed of. 
on Other methods of killing were executions, electrocution, phenol injections, flame throwers, hand grenades, and surgical experiments.
Since 1945, there has not been another country that has killed innocent people so brutally. There have been, and still are, conflicts all over the world where people have died for their country. We will remember and teach the Hitler Solution till the end of time, because even today, debate still rages on about who should be responsible for so many deaths. We can hope that people all over the world have learned a very costly lesson. To follow a dictator to the extreme that Hitler was would be a very crucial mistake. All people should have the opportunity of living without fear for themselves and their loved ones. It is up to us, the young people of the world, to remember what so many people died for unnecessarily.
