This source is about Concentration camps from 1933 to 1939. It talks about how the SS

was the only agency allowed to manage Concentration Camps in Germany. When

Germany invaded Poland, they set up 6 different camps in the Greater German Reich. In

Germany, there were also 3 camps strictly made for women. It wasnt until 1938 the labor

camps were used to make money for the Nazi Regime. This source is reliable because it

is made by a well-known organization. The ushmm stands for the United Stated

Holocaust Memorial Museum so they are in charge of researching and providing facts

about this event.

The First Concentration Camp was named Dachau and was constructed in 1933. At the

start of the Nazi Regime the first people to be put in the camps were those who went

against the Regime. They were shortly followed by the Jews, Gypsies, and criminals. The

camps were divided into different categories according to what they were used for. The

people that were put in the camps were typically forced to work 12 hours with little to

drink or eat. This website is very well put together. There are many tabs to click on all

relating to the Holocaust. The site is also made by an organization that is qualified to

research the topic of the Holocaust.

A death camp is a Concentration Camp that was strictly for killing Jews and other

prisoners. There were death camps constructed all over but six of them were in Poland.

The death camps were a better and more efficient ways of killing the Jews. Before the

camps, they were killed by execution and gassing vans. Gassing vans were vans filled

with Jews then filled with carbon monoxide. After all the people died they were taken out

of the van and burned. The death camps although used gas chambers that were filled with

gas and hold many more Jews. All the Death camps although were evacuated and

destroyed by 1943.This source is reliable because it was created by a College professor

who knows a lot about this topic. It is also an .edu site which means it is for education.

There are also no mistakes and is a well put together website with many different tabs.

Wiesel, Elie. Night. New York, NY. 1st ed. Hill and Wang. 2006

Elie and his family were taken from their neighborhood by the gestapo. They were then

loaded onto a crammed train car and taken to Auschwitz. There, Elie and his father were

split up from the rest of his family. They were then used in the camp as laborers in the

factories. They were beaten and worked until exhausting. Then, they were forced to run

miles in the snow to another camp called Gliewitz. They stayed there for three days and

then were moved again by a crammed train to Buchenwald. Here, Elies father died from

a disease but Elie was liberated by American forces. This is a credible source because it is

a book that is published by a well-known company. It is also written by Elie who actually

lived through the events.
