In addition to forced labour, the Nazis used prisoners incarcerated in camps as live test subjects for medical experiments. These experiments were usually extremely painful, debilitating , and in many cases, lethal.

The experiments had various purposes: experiments attempting to prove the supposed superiority of the ' Aryan ' race, experiments to try and find solutions to military or common war related injuries, and or experiments to further individual doctors' research interests.
Experiments attempting to prove the superiority of the 'Aryan' race
Just six months after Hitler was appointed Chancellor, on 14 July 1933 the Nazis passed their first sterilisation law, which forced people with certain hereditary conditions to be sterilised by law.

Following the mass imprisonments after the start of the Second World War, the Nazis escalated this sterilisation policy and also targeted other racial enemies such as Jews. The Nazis conducted a number of experiments on concentration camp prisoners in an effort to discover a method for mass sterilisation. These experiments primarily took place on women prisoners at Auschwitz and Ravensbrück.
Experiments to find solutions to military or common war related injuries
The start of the Second World War also led to a number of medical experiments on concentration camp prisoners in attempts to discover new, cheaper and quicker treatments for common military injuries. Some examples of these experiments include hypothermia experiments at Dachau, which attempted to discover ways to quickly reverse the effects of hypothermia . This set of experiments forced inmates to be submerged in cold water. Out of the 300 inmates involved, between 80-90 died - typically of heart failure. Other experiments at Dachau involved attempts to make seawater drinkable, in case troops were marooned with no running water, attempts to find a similar drug to penicillin , which involved infecting prisoners with sepsis , and attempts to find a cure for malaria . Almost all of these experiments resulted in a significant number of deaths or physical and mental deformities among the prisoners tested on. Prisoners were typically given little to no pain relief during experiments, and the Nazis saw their deaths as inconsequential due to their inferior status.

Dachau was not the only site of war-related medical experiments on prisoners. Experiments to find a cure for typhus also took place at Natzweiler and Buchenwald (where 154 inmates out of the 729 used died, in addition to 120 carrier patients who died whilst being used to keep the infection alive so it could be further tested). Hepatitis experiments took place at Sachsenhausen and Natzweiler, and bone, muscle and nerve regeneration experiments took place at Ravensbrück.
Experiments to further individual doctors' research interests
Concentration camp inmates were also used as live test subjects in individual doctors research experiments. Perhaps the most infamous example of this was the experiments performed by Dr. Joseph Mengele on inmates of Auschwitz. Mengele was particularly interested in twins, people with different colored eyes, and people with physical impairments. Mengele did not spare any thought for the wellbeing or health of the inmates subject to his experiments, and many of them died or were purposefully killed so that their corpses could be examined.

Another example of medical experiments on inmates driven by personal interest was the Tuberculosis experiments carried out by Dr. Kurt Heissmeyer in June 1944 in Nuengamme. Heissmeyer hoped that his experiments would find a cure for tuberculosis . All of Heissmeyer's experiments failed. Despite the lack of positive results, Heissmeyer continued his experiments, and started new rounds on children in 1945. All of the inmates involved in the experiments either died as a result of them, or were murdered on Heissmeyer's orders directly afterwards.

Barely given any food, killed at will by nazi germans, put to hard unpaid labour, killed for fun,killed if not following instructions. A lot of racism towards them. Hard slavery in the ghettos. led to a few small uprisings from jews which got brutally suppressed. Torture rose to new heights during the war. which really showed true human nature in that war. Jews fought against not only germans, but diseases and likely their own kind or food and Materials

# data[].attributes.body
Baggy unwashed clothes that are torn and dirty. Given pants, jacket and a cap. Coats mostly only on men during the winter. Most women received a dress or a skirt and jacket. They wore simple clothing to differientiate people by race. Germans wearing classic clothing whilst Jews with simple, dirty and unwashed versions. Probably to show superiority to the jews.

in small wooden houses where hundreds of people would be packed together, (making it prone to diseases). with given samples of potato's and a small bottle. All 1.3 million people sent to the camp except 200 or so people were all killed by Nazi Germans. The life expectancy of the jews were around only 6 weeks to 3 months. Each day its a fight for survival in such harsh conditions in which no likes of Man would Survive. In any case people would describe it as fit was hell in the living world. In which they did not deserve in any way shape or form. Diseases which formed led to much of them dying from sickness more than anything else. Never had human cruelty rose to such heights during the 20th century . As such, the germans got their go on it in Soviet POW Camps where thousands of more germans died.

They would have felt unfairness towards them back then. They would also have felt mistreated and questioning why and what did they do to deserve such treatment. They felt angry and it rose up to fear. Fear led to many things the jews did back then. Surviving from what they can when a nation fell to the hands of germany

The ghettos were brought to the various concentration/extermination camps through freight trains, in which if they survived,  they were gassed, worked or beaten to death, or killed by disease, starvation, cold, medical experiments, or during death marches. The killing continued until the end of World War II in Europe in May 1945. The European Jews were targetted by Germany and its various collaborators.

I would try to Ration out my food as much as possible and try to listen to instructions and make no mistakes. But inevitably it is all down to luck whether I survive or not depending on my area, living conditions and how fit I am during the time under nazi german rule. and whether im lucky to not get myself shot and killed randomly. In Reality there is no form of escape if you are not d well known Jew. Even then itis extremely hard to escape from a ghetto. Even even if you do, where do you go next?

Anti-semitism is like saying anti-jew and is word meaning hostility to jews either religiously or politically. It is a word to describe people who are anti-jew

The prisoners are given pants and a jacket for men and a dress or a skirt and a jacket for women. They also wore badges for identification. The shoes are only made of rubber and leather. With no socks. All of the prisoners are wearing striped uniforms

Poor attires, overcrowding, and persistent starvation caused therampent spread of contagious disease. Inmates trapped in unhealthy living conditions andd assigned to scarcely ventilated barracks were in no position to battle illness.

They would have felt very depressed as they were treated very badly and unfairly. They would wonder what they did to deserve this kind of infairness and cruelty towards them.

I would have listened to their indtructions to prevent any fights between us and if I were to be treated very badly and unfairly, I would find a way to escape that hell.

Anti-semitism rfers to the belief or behavior hostile toward Jews just because they are Jewish. It may take the form of religious teachings that proclaim the inferiority of Jews, for instance, or political efforts to isolate, oppress, or otherwise injure them. It may also include prejudiced or stereotyped views about Jews.

Badly. To describe it more in depth, their place had become a result of insane, evil and inhumane behavior by the Nazis. Every morning at 4am, they had to undress and go outside NAKED while it was snowing and stand on the field with no food, no water, nothing until 4pm when they opened up the gates.
10 train wagons cramped with people of an assortment of ages, from kids to the aged. A pregnant woman could not properly give birth because she would have gotten shot if she got out of line.

1.They would have felt very afraid as they are constantly worrying whether they would be killed by Germans everyday.In short,their lives were on the German soldiers' hand.
2.They were sad as many of them were treated in an improper way and were forced labour,including kids who were hardly 10 years old and elderlys.

# data[].attributes.body
They were treated very badly and unafirly, they were also tortured very badly, they had to listen to every of he NAZI's commands and walk in the rain without food and water.

# data[].attributes.body
They wore striped pyjamas that distinguished them from civilians and military personal.

# data[].attributes.body
They wore striped uniform made of cotton, white and cobalt blue stripes so that it will help them distinguished from civilians and military personal.

# data[].attributes.body
Prisoners are dressed in striped uniforms because stripes stand out in the natural environment and that makes it harder for them to escape. They also starved and many of them fell sick. Due to the little ventilation in the houses, many of them could not recover.

I would try to escape the country. Most prisoner escapes took place from worksites outside the camp. If the prisoners could escape, then it is not impossible to escape. The first escape, on July 6, 1940, Tadeusz Wiejowski, made his way out of the camp with the help of Polish civilian workers employed in the camp. He escaped in the disguise of such a worker. I could use his method to escape from the country.

They would have felt helpless. They had to wake up early in the morning, and were not given food till four o'clock in the afternoon. Some women who had been selected will be taken away to Auschwitz. It stank terribly, the smoke from the burning corpse and the continuation of barking of dogs, screaming and shouting. The atmosphere was not pleasant. They lost everything.

I would have tried to listen and follow instructions so that I will not get killed. I would also have tried to take care of the weaker prisoners. I would also try to escape after planning a well-planned escape.

The Jewish people would have felt very helpless and angry. They were treated like slaves and only lived if they were somehow useful to the people. They were probably angry at the people who treated them this way. However, they could not do anything to fight back as it risked them losing their lives. The conditions they were forced to live in were horrible with all the dirt everywhere not a clean space they could feel safe in.

# data[].attributes.body
They wore striped uniform of camp prisoners that were made of cotton, white white and cobalt blue stripes, it has five white buttons and three pockets cut from the same striped fabric. In concentration camps, prisoners were required to wear clothing that distinguished them from civilians or military personnel.

The living conditions were horrible obviously. In order to spot prisoners easily from the crowd so they won't be able to escape, they were made to wear striped uniforms. They also fell ill due to starvation

# data[].attributes.body
the living conditions there were terrible. it stinks terribly, the smoke from the burning corpses. People have to wear striped pyjamas to make them hard to escape. hundreds of people were squeezed in a small wooden house, causing diseases to spread among them, leading them to die of sickness. They were also ill due to starvation and many of them won't recover.

The way that Jews were treated during the Holocaust was harshful and crule to do to humans.
