The conditions were so horrid that “some despairing prisoners intentionally crossed the deadline” in order to be shot rather than continue suffering in the camp. The glory and grandeur that is consistently attributed to battles is nowhere to be seen with the camps showing a more faithful approach to the horrors of the…
The book Kindred is about slavery. It said a lot about circumstances of what it was like to be a slave in the antebellum South.

WWll Was it right how the Nazi’s treated the Jews back in World War 2? It was not right how the Nazi’s treated the Jews because discriminatory decrees against the Jews, and concentration camps,. People may disagree with this opinion because they could possibly think that it was right how the Nazi’s treated the jews. Concentration camps for jews were terrifying because in Document 1, it says “ Physical punishment consisted of whipping, frequent kicking(abdomen or groin), slaps to the face, shooting, or wounding with a bayonet”. This shows that the jews were treated terribly and in a disgusting way.…
Nathan Shapow said that they were fed very little in concentration camps. They were given coffee to drink in the mornings, more to keep them energetic than to keep them alive, and also little bits of bread broken into four pieces, to feed four people. I could never live off of this diet, let alone do heavy labor. They did very much work, and those who couldn’t work, like children, the elderly, women, babies even, were given lethal gas until they died or burned alive in stoves. I knew that Jews were gassed but not burned alive.…
Prisoner of War camps are used during war to keep soldiers from opposing sides if they were captured at some point during a war. POW camps during WWII were extremely brutal against the captured and showed them no mercy during their time there.

Louis Zamperini was an Olympic athlete and soldier who went through these camps during WWII and lived to tell stories about his experience there.…
An Anatomy of Life in the Death Camps According to Terrence Des Pres, the moral sense of human beings is entirely an evolutionary strategy for survival. This was based on the prescriptions of Terrence as given in the excerpt. He makes an allusion between paragraphs three through six that social support was necessary for support. Practically, for one to offer the much-needed support for a fellow member of a group in times of difficulty required an enormous amount of moral consideration. Terrence makes an assertion that if one ate something within the group without having shared it, then they would automatically know that that was the commencement of his possible end possibly having meant that sharing guarantees survival.…
The Life of Someone in an Internment Camp Have you ever thought about what it would be like to live in a Japanese Internment Camp? In 1942, concentration camps were set up in America for Japanese Americans out of fear they would remain loyal to Japan after World War II. Anyone of Japanese descent was placed in a camp. Daily life in these internment camps was very difficult. First, the adults were forced to do hard, physical labor every day. There was little care for their physical weakness to do such strenuous jobs.…

The conditions were brutal, they had small rations and poor shelter. The conditions plummeted through the years and toward the end they were close to torture.

The tone of this book showed you who he was rooting for by the way he described the different people if they were bad or good. He also made some kind of parallelism because he made a antagonist later in the book which he realized at the end of the book that the reason he hated him is because he was just like his step dad. That’s the reason he ran away from home in the first place he hated the authority, furthermore how you had to follow his rules and how he had ultimate control and each order he told you was an ultimatum. If you didn’t follow his rules then you were in big trouble and he would probably shoot you because of how he runs his almost comparable to a concentration camp. He doesn’t really have a real tone about how he feels about…
Concentration and internment camps were built in Canada to imprison anyone associated to a country that Canada was at war with during WW1, these residents of Canada were considered “enemy aliens”. The law passed by the Canadian Government to support this action was called the “Federal War Measures Act”, also referred to as the “WMA”, and was passed in August, 1914. Most of the prisoners were Ukrainian Canadian men, this was because Canada was at war with the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Russia. Both of these nations were at war to claim Ukraine as a segment of their own country, and were enemies of The British Empire. By the end of WW1, approximately five-thousand Ukrainian Canadians were taken to concentration camps out of approximately eight-thousand…
There were several prison camps located in North Vietnam, but they all shared the same basic characteristics as the Hanoi Hilton. Prisoners were isolated from each other to the greatest extent possible. The individual cells consisted of small concrete areas with a wooden bunk bed and a bucket to be used as a toilet. There was also typically a window although it was heavily barred with the amount of light protruding inside being minimal. The cell doors were heavy wood and contained a peep hole which the guards could easily access from the outside in order to look in on the prisoners.…
