Oscar Schindler was a very intelligent man. He saved many Jews from the gas chambers by risking his life by bribing the SS officers.

The maltreatment the prisoners of death camps suffered were very horrid. Malnutrition and unhygienic conditions caused many to suffer through plague, pneumonia and other diseases. Many were too weak to even support themselves.

The living conditions of the prisoners were horrid. No opportunity for personal hygiene or personal cleanliness was provided. Sleeping areas were many bunks crammed on top of each other. Very little or no amount of water was available for washing.

These prisoners were all subject to murder in many different ways such as shooting, firing squads, fatal injections, gallows. Many deaths also occurred due to the horrifying “living” conditions.

These prisoners are being taken to “Block 11” where some of the prisoners were condemned to. It was a jail in a prison which contained a stand-up cells where sometimes more than 3 prisoners were stuffed in.

Slave labour was also referred to as “productive annihilations” which all the prisoners in the death camps were subject to.
