Concentration Camps and Ghettos

I use this Power Point to talk about Nazi ghettos and concentration camps in detail for IGCSE History.

Part of the information about the camps was taken from Nikolaus Wachsmann's book about concentration camps "KL", William Shirer's "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" and Adrian Weale's "The SS: A New History."

The Power Point includes:

• The origin of concentration camps and their history throughout the 12 years of the Nazi regime.
• The origin of the ghettos and what happened to them.
• Maps with the location of the different concentration camps, death camps and ghettos.
• Einsatzgruppen
• The Final Solution
• Operation Reinhard
• The Sonderkommando and Kanada Kommando
• Concentration camp vs. death camp definition.
• Photos of Sachsenhausen concentration camp near Berlin taken personally by me in January 2019.
• The end of concentration camps and their liberation.
• A link to a clip from the series "Band of Brothers" that shows the liberation of one of Dachau's satellite camps by the USA's 101st Airborne Division.
• A link to an interview of Eva Kor, an extremely interesting Holocaust survivor who was used by Joseph Mengele to perform experiments on.
