Explain Why Nazi People Should Not Be Allowed To Kill Essay

Decent Essays
In order to kill as many undesirables as fast as possible, Nazi soldiers created many methods that could eliminate hundreds of people in a matter of minutes. One technique they used were gas chambers. These were large, airtight rooms that were filled with the poisonous gas, Zyklon B, that could kill hundreds in less than 15 minutes. In order to muffle the screams, soldiers would rev the engine of a motorcycle and make it seem as if nothing had happened. When people did not pass the selection because they were unfit to work, this is where they were sent to be executed. Doctors also performed deadly medical experiments on the prisoners such as freezing them and performing surgery on the while they were awake to see how their bodies reacted.

    A crematorium is a machine that burns people’s body or remains to bones. The Nazis would use this just as much as they use gas chambers. In Auschwitz they had four crematoriums. They would burn these people alive, until they were nothing but ash and bones. With the gas chambers and the crematorium about 4,400 people died a day just from these two things, not including the people that were shot for no reason, the ones who died for no reason,and the ones that were starved.…

    The hospitals inside of the prisons were not any better as far as treatment went. The treatment of the sick was very inhumane. Not only were the doctors themselves, not provided with the correct supplies, but the sick were placed in unsanitary conditions like cells or even basements. Some sick were even killed altogether, instead of being treated. Some prisoners- called “undesirables” -were used as lab rats in experiments during 1880s.…

    Prisoners were commonly injected with the tuberculosis, malaria, typhus and other illnesses to see how they affect the body and what needs to be done to cure it. However most weren't cured of it due to the severity of it and the weakness of their body. Most people died during or shortly after all experiments. People would also have live autopsies done on them so doctors can see all that goes on in the body while living.
