Journal on Auschwitz Video

As I watched the Auschwitz Concentration Camp video, I was shocked to see millions of death of Jews, among them being 200,000 chilren. German Nazi gathered all jews from european countries and set them in concentration camps to work to death. Auschiwtz camp was one of the concentration camps and it is also where Primo Levi had survived.
Many people were killed by breathing Zyklon-B gas or getting cremated in a crematorium. Jews were mercilessly killed, experimented, and tortured. The jewish children were experimented by a German scientist named Josef Mengele and suffered or died of dangerous lethal injections.
For those years in the internment, Jewish children were away from their parents and as shown in the video, the one thing that these Children needed was other person's care. Without this care, the children lived in harsh enviornment and survived through hardships that no normal kids have to experience it. When a soviet soldier gave kids a chocolate and a hug, the kids cried in happiness.
The jewish adults suffered more than any race or religious groups. Since Hitler made Jews an enemy of Nazis, adults in the camps were destined to die. Some useful people who have some skills in certain jobs can be hired in the camps. In the video, twenty years old woman volunteered to be a SS worker, to guard and supervise the Jewish women in the labor. However because of her greediness in power of her SS uniform, she killed her own kind and was sentenced to death two months after her 22th birthday. I guess that in the camp, people tend to do anything cruel to survive under the powerful side. For the men, men who were strong and healthy could survive from the selection and other weaklings are left to die.
Nazi is very cruel because this organization led by Adolf Hitler had caused more than One million jews into death. A single man led to the destruction of one million people. When i think about this i remember from the Bible passage that When Pilate was washing his hand that he is not related to killing Jesus, Jews prophet said, "Then we and our descendent will get the punishment!" It seems that punishment came to reality and I sometimes wonder, If God planned that massacre to happen or if it was just a coincidence.
Maybe Hitler made Jews an enemy not because the jews were always successful in business and rich, but also they were the murderer of Jesus Christ. I don't know if Hitler was a Christian, but i heard from someone that Christians didn't like jews because Jews were the cause of Jesus' death.
After the camp was over, some survivors lived to tell the tale. Auschwitz concentration camp was the most horrible place that these survivors could ever go. There was not sympathy in those camps and men, women, and children were harassed, torutred, raped, experimented, and killed.
