What kind of torture did they do in the concentration camps during the Holocaust?

Answer 1

They did horrible things. I can't believe a human being could be so cruel. They did things like sewing different body parts onto other people, operations without anesthetic, and taking out internal organs such as liver and intestines. Firing squads were used to gun down many people at a time and then dumped the people into heaps. Some were told they were being taken to a shower and it was actually a gas chamber. The soap in these 'showers' were made out of Jewish bodies. (fat). Many starved to death and some were used as guinea pigs for medical testing, especially twins. For their meals (if they were lucky) they would get 1 cup of dirty water a day with a slice of bread. Methods of execution included more than gassing and shooting; Jews were killed in a variety of ways. The camp guards "became notorious for their cruelty, trying to outdo each other in devising fiendish methods of killing their victims". One man froze to death because he was forced to stay in an ice hole until he died. Another victim was hung upside down, completely naked, for three hours until he was killed by the camp guards who used "sticks to force sand down his throat". Source:

Pg 396 & 351 Many Jews were forced to stand in the blazing sun for hours on end, no sitting, water or rest. Strong men were taken away for work om farms. Pretty girls were forced to become unspeakable things. [Edit - generally, unpaid prostitutes for the guards.]

I am afraid human beings can be that cruel, and the Nazis were by no means the first or last in that regard. Stalin's regime in Russian, Chairman Mao's in China, the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia and so-called ISIS now, all plumb the same depths of inhumanity. What sets the Nazis apart perhaps, is not the appalling death toll of about 6 000 000 (Stalin killed even more) but the carefully-planned industrial approach and scale of their methods, with the gas chambers becoming their preferred extermination technique, rather than shootings.

Answer 3

Another interesting not in a good way but interesting method of Jewish torture in concetration camps that disobedient priosners would have to pull a large stone wheel until they die.Another form of torture would be for a SS man or a brown shirt thug to appproach a Jew or a group of educated Jews (rabies,lawyers and other holy men)and would beat them with thick sticks and chant "schnapp,schnapp" and so on.And on the streets some times when a Jew with proper papers or a child (children did not need papers to exit ghettos)spotted by a SS man and shoot them on the spot.And another torture form would be if there was a newborn baby or a child they would force his/her mother to watch the SS taunt her that "we will kill the little one" and put them in and out of a pale of water or crematorium and once they got their sick kicks they finally incinerated or drowned the child...very cruel.I know almost everything about Holocaust so if there are any questions just aSK ME OK,THANK YOU.

Answer 4

As I hate to write tortures here were some, Gas chambers were one of the discusting one's. Walking in a field of mines is another. Being streached till you were ripped open (Idea of Gestapo)was atrocious. Well my friend almost all the tortures that were given was very discusting. Even just living in the streets of Germany in WW2 was discuting because the dead people was left on the streets so that the community of Jews would die faster! And since the food was at a high price and you can only have a maximum of 2'000 Zloties (money) you couldn't bribe yourself out of trouble often. Hope that answers your question! =)

Answer 5

During the Holocaust, there were many horrible torture methods used by the Nazis that included cruel medical experiments. Whippings, freezing experiments, random beatings, and starvation were among torture treatments.

Answer 6

The Nazi's killed the Jews by bringing them to concentration camps to work until they decided to kill them. They were also brought to Gas chambers. Where they would get out and go in the room and be told their going to take a shower but gas would be sprayed out and kill them. Also they would take all the Jews in the city out to the woods and tell them to "undress" and line up. and then they would be shot in the back of the head by the Nazi patrols.

The gas-chambers and mass shootings were not torture techniques as such - usually to obtain spurious "confessions" - but methods of killing the Jews as part of Hitler's plan to exterminate them. However, the Nazis did perform terrible "medical" experiments on some of their victims, such as tests on surviving immersion in cold water. Most tortures for interrogations were inflicted on political opponents and resistance-fighters by the Gestapo (secret police) and the Waffen SS (an army branch).
