Yes. 1.) The 'worst' thing for inmates at concentration camps was the hopelessness of the situation. Those that still held hope could keep themselves alive; those that gave up died. In the extermination camps, there was no hope. 2.) In concentration camps, in the early part (early 1930's) some inmates were actually released. Didn't happen in extermination camps.
1) No danger except the fact they were forced to work 14 hours a day and while getting every day less 200 calories (!) of food and the death marches, not to mention the fact that the Germans didn't allow to bury the dead, and so causing these people who lived in awfull conditions (each person had 20cm X 140cm to sleep on, in a room that had so many people in it that many died in their sleep for lack of oxygen) to suffer from illnesess, and since an ill man can't work they were shot.
2) That was before the concentration camps were built so you can't compare them on that.
About the numbers of people killed: The correct number of jews killed is aprox. 6,200,000. You can't determine the exact number as many jews were killed by guards without registration - in death marchs, in working areas, in their bad from lack of air or an illness, etc.
The problem is that when numbers are so high people no longer know how much it is.
I mean try to take this event and compare to anything you know. For exmaple: The sep11th attack victims were on the headlines for a month (they were for longer but then oter issues also started making news). aprox 3000 people were killed. By that the holocaust was supposed to be in the news for over 172 years - untill 2117, and that's even without considering all the non jews who were killed! If Bin Laden would like to kill as many Americans as Hitler killed jews he would have to destroy 4133 towers.
"Good one Bigbird. But you have to remember the Israelis are smarter than the Nazis. They are slowling killing all the Palestinians.
>>> Do you have any evidence whatsoever about any Israeli attempt to kill Palestinian civilians?
Call them all terrorists
>>> We never said they were all terrorists but you can't deny some are.
, fire your bombs, accidentely hit the houses with the kids,
>>> Israel never used bombs against Palestinians. Accidents do happen in urban areas fightings. Ask anyone who knows anything about military strategies and he'll tell you that.
take all the men away, torture them, don't give them food
>>> Israel never took all the men. We only arrested those who were thought to be wanted. Those who weren't were released on the same day. Torturing is only allowed in case it's absolutly clear it will save lifes and only if it's used on terrorists. Israel also never banned food from anyone.
, and let the elders rot away so there won't be more Palestinians.
Also not letting the doctors through to help the injured just to insure that they die. Just proves how cold-blooded some Israelis are. Not even letting the medical personel through.
>>> Doctors are allowed into areas where the fighting has stopped. No one in his right mind will send civilian doctors to a battlefield before the fighting has ended. The IDF does proved medical treatment to anyone they can, whether they're Israeli or Palestinian, Civilians or gunmen.
Now that is inhumane and how the Israelis are torturing their detainees. Not feeding them.
>>> The people who are torchured are always terrorists that have information that can save human lives and they won't reveal it. The first commitment of the Israeli security forces is to an Israel civilian's life, not to a Palestinian terrorists good health."
BigBird - You're a fool for believing such propoganda. There's a difference between a few hundreds Palestinians killed in fightings (a 150 of them killed themselves) after they attacked another country and millions of innocent people murdered because of their religion, skin color or family. I was talking about a holocaust as in a murder of people due to racism. Ofcource people are killed in other things as well, but that's not what we're talking about here. Yes, there are Palestinians killed and there are also Israelis killed. When Iraq invaded quwait they had 100,000 troops killed. It doesn't mean it was a holocaust. They chose to fight the US and they lost. The Palestinians chose to fight Israel and they're loosing. The pictures you showed just show how little you know about the holocaust. There a huge difference between people standing in line waiting to get their passport checked when they wanna go to work in another country and people in a death camp facing the German who will decide if they're capable of working for the 3rd reich or they should be murdered. There's a huge difference between a war, especially one you were forced to fight, and the murder of civilians.
