What was daily life like during the Holocaust?
Millions of people died in the concentration camps because of starvation, overcrowding, disease, exposure to cold, and the brutality of the Germans. People died by the thousands in the gas chambers and mass execution by a firing squad. Dead bodies were stacked like firewood, and every twenty-four hours a truck would come by to pick them up. The bodies were buried in enormous mass graves or burned in the crematorium.
