the largest camps out of 44 camps in Auschwitz.
In the concentration camps the prisoners had to work in any circumstances even
if it might kill them or they were killed anyway. Kitty's job was to help build a new
rail line at the concentration camp. In the camp they had a ramp where some children
and most elderly were sent directly to there death and some to do slave labor.
In Auschwitz ladies weren't allowed to keep their hair so they cut it off and shipped it to
make ignition mechanisms in bombs and others things.
The sheds that they slept in were meant for only 52 horses but they forced 1000 prisoners
The sheds that they slept in were meant for only 52 horses but they forced 1000 prisoners
to live there each bunker got 1 straw mattress 1 blanket if you were lucky and it was
shared between eight prisoners at the camps. But the thing that most prisoners feared
was selections because if they were selected they were sent to gas chambers to await
their deaths. In 1944 five gas chambers were work at full capacity.
Kitty and her mother left Auschwitz on April 14th 1945 they went through 6 camps and
witnessed several death marches. There was a place called lobsters water for most people
that were in Auschwitz this was their final place.
