A Day In The Worst Nazi Concentration Camp | Auschwitz–Birkenau

# data[].attributes.body
There were over 1.3 million prisoners at Auschwitz alone. The majority of them were Jewish people. At the beginning of the day a bell would be rung signaling the start of the work they would have to do that day. The prisoners only received a small amount of coffee for breakfast. For lunch they were given a watered down soup, dinner was bread that was moldy and not safe for human consumption.

“In February 1941 the Dutch population, led by resistance leaders in the trade union organizations, mounted a general strike in protest of arrests and brutal treatment of jews.”

“Although a large majority of citizens rejected the treaty, the social-democratic-led government signed it- a painful but reasonable act in view of alternatives- threat of renewed bloodshed and blockade, serious unrest, communist revolutions, and further annexations.”
Pg.17 Bernstein
The German citizens didn’t only resist the Nazi regime, they also resisted the government before the Nazi party took over.

“In any case, I found out years later that by August 1939, when war broke out, Herr Desch had managed to get several hundred persons out of Germany, most of them Children and young people from Jewish family’s.”
Pg. 87 Engalman
Herr Desch was a store keeper, he also helped Ruth Wolf get out of the country. He kept Jewish people hidden in his store, this shows that even the common people went against the Nazi party.

“In this situation it was the extremism parties on the left and right, with their promises of radical solution's, that showed huge electoral gains. In the parliamentary elections of November 1932, the communists received 5.9 million votes. But the real winners were the National Socialists led by Aldolf Hitler.”

“The German resistance was more widespread than could have been expected under the conditions of terror prevailing in the Nazi dictatorship. It included a broad spectrum of people ranging from protestant pastors such as Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Martian Niemöller to communists and socialists; from former Nazis, jesuits, conservatives, adolescents to the military and the intelligence services.”

“With the signing of the treaties with its former enemies and its admissions to the League of Nations, the precursor organization of the United Nations, Germany’s international isolation ended. However, with the stock market crash of  October 1929, the so-called golden twenties, the time between 1924 and 1929 came to a sudden hault.”
Pg. 17 Bernstein
Germany had a lot of war debt that they had to pay off, so when the stock market crashed it just put more pressure on German citizens that were already struggling. Leading them to have rational ideas.

Non-Jewish citizens would help people that they didn’t even know. “In the meantime I figured that she [Aunt Annie] intended to help Ruth Wolf whom she presumably had never met leave the country.”
Pg. 73 Engleman
This shows that even with the strictness of the Nazi dictators people would do everything they could to save another citizen.

“His father a civil servant in a high position, had reactivated his status of first lieutenant in 1936, the year of the Olympic game, and had risen during the war to the rank of major general. He was involved with the assassination plot of July 20, 1944, and the Nazi party condemned him to death and executed him at the prison in Berlin-Potzensee.”
Pg.144 Engelman
This proves that even high ranking military men thought the what Aldolf Hitler was doing was wrong.

“We learned from Alma Strobee that in the summer of 1934 more than 800 member of the RUO in the waterside district were convinced of over sixty different criminal proceedings. Many of them were killed by the Gestopet during interrogation in the city hall or in the near by Fuhlsbüttel concentration camp. The rest were sentenced to long prison terms. Many who had served out their prison sentences were re-arrested after their release and shipped off to concentration camps. The Jews among them- including Alma’s close associate, Dagobert Biermann- were sent to Auschwitz years later in 1941-42 and gassed.”
Pg.90-91 Engelman
This says that if people tried to help Jewish citizens get out of Germany they could be beaten to death, imprisoned, or gassed.
