  • Excerpts from book, One of Humanity's Darkest Days, the Truth about the Holocaust

    Chapter 13 explores the evolution of Nazi concentration camps, starting with their initial purpose of imprisonment and forced labor for those deemed enemies of the state. Early camps like Dachau, Sachsenhausen, and Buchenwald, overseen by figures like Heinrich Himmler and Theodor Eicke, held political prisoners and others the Nazis viewed as threats—the Schutzhaftbefehl, or "protective custody order," allowed for indefinite detention without trial6. As World War II progressed, some camps, most notably Auschwitz under Rudolf Höss, transitioned into death camps designed for mass extermination. Operation Reinhard, spearheaded by Adolf Eichmann, focused on exterminating Polish Jews and led to the creation of death camps like Treblinka, Sobibor, and Belzec, where horrific methods like gas chambers with Zyklon B were used. The chapter emphasizes the tragic consequences of unchecked power and hate and the importance of vigilance against human rights violations.
