In August 1944 a new section was added to house women , but there was no water or facilities. On December 2, 1944 Joesph Kramer took over the camp and the first thing he did was make it an official camp. From January to mid April of 1945, 35,000 people had died or were killed. On April 15, 1945 Bergen – Belsen was liberated by the British Army.. “ How could we [the world] have stood by and let that happen to them? We owe them. .”. . Carrol Walsh. . 743 . Tank . Battalion.

It was located in Oswiecim, a Polish town, more or less in the middle of Europe. It consisted of three main sections: Auschwitz I (concentration camp), Auschwitz II/ Birkeneau (killing center), and Auschwitz III (slave labor complex). The concentration camp portion was opened in June, 1940, and the other portions were opened later. From 1942 onward, Jews from all over Europe were sent to Auschwitz II by the thousands to be killed by the gas chambers. The Nazis used Zyklon B in the chambers and could kill 2,000 to 2,500 people at a time. To dispose the bodies faster, the Nazis built crematoria to burn the bodies in Auschwitz II. Auschwitz was also used to conduct medical experiments, which were performed by Dr. Josef Mengele. On January 27, 1945, Soviet forces finally reached Auschwitz, liberating all the surviving prisoners there, but found blown up crematoria, blown up gas chambers, and almost all the prisoners dead. In all 1.1 million people died at Auschwitz, 90% of them being Jewish. . http://player.discoveryeducation.com/index.cfm?guidAssetId=E225113F-C73C-4396-9FE2-F6CC16167909&blnFromSearch=1&productcode=US#.
