The Persecution of the Jews in Ten Stages. Extermination (10)

February 21, 2019

In July 1942, the systematic murder of Dutch Jews in concentration and extermination camps began. Together with Jews from almost all other European countries, they arrived in camps that the Nazis had built, most of them in occupied Poland. Upon their arrival, most of them were selected to be killed straight away, others were designated for forced labour until they died. Almost all of the Hungarian Jews in this photo were murdered in the gas chambers immediately after their arrival.
