Summary: Children were categorized into three groups, (1) infants and toddlers up to age 6; (2) young children ages 7 to 12; and (3) adolescents from 13 to 18 years old. The older children usually had a higher survival rate becuae they could do labor work. There were usually four fates of Jewish children in concentration camps: (1) those killed immediately on arrival in concentration camps and killing centers; (2) those killed shortly after birth (3) those few born in ghettos and camps and surviving; and (4) those children, usually above the age of 10, utilized as prisoners, laborers, and subjects for Nazi medical experiments. Some Jewish children survived by being part of an underground partisan resistance (against Nazis) as messangers, smugglers, and runners.
