Life in the Concentration Camps-Associated Content

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/90220/life_in_the_concentration_camps.html
Summary: The disease, typhus, spread by lice in the constant traffic with the east, was actually the first cause of death in camps. It was passed by through rapid expansion of the camps in Poland, in 1941-1942. Since they couldn't be used for labor, extermination procedures were carried out--food taken away/starved, "showers", separated families.

Quotes: "Man's inhumanity to man." (by Robert Burns) "...there is no more horrific example of that...than the systematic herding together, then disposing of million s of Jews, Poles, Russians, Gypsies, homosexuals and those physically impaired." (by Werner Haas)
