Back to The Camps

ONE PICTURE!!!!!! NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION!!!!!!!

The main device the Nazi's used to transport the Jews was closed cattle trucks, known to be called boxcars.They were transported on slow freight trains to the concentration camps. The first transporting device the Nazi's used to Auschwitz were rail cars. Also to the concentration camps, 50 box cars sat with over 1500 prisoners who were shipped by train without food from Buchenwald to Dachau. German officials deported Jews by train and when trains were not available, distances were short by truck or foot.The German authorities used rail systems across Europe to transport or deport Jews from their homes On the way to the camps many Jews died, especially the elderly and young children. The boxcars were too overcrowded and with no heat and water, some people died in the winter from being to cold, and some poeple died in the summer from exhaustion and dehydration.
