Prisoners at forced labor in a brick factory.
In the years 1939-1942 they realized that they needed to expand their concetration camps. This was the second concentration camp that they built. In September 1938 the SS authorities started to enprision them for economic profit. After the begining of the war, the concetration camps became sites for mass murders of small targeted groups. The Dutch tried to protest aginst the killig of Jews but the SS authorities shipped them to Mauthausen to have them all killed. During this period, Germans constructed gas chambers to kill large numbers of people.
Prisioners at forced labor build the Dove-Elbe canal.
Seeing how they lived in Concentration camps is really sad. It's hard to think that people knew about the camps and did nothing. I think if more people like the Dutch would have said something it might have helped.
