Abstract:
In the beginning of March 1945, there were ca. 500 concentration camps scattered throughout the area still occupied by the Nazis in Germany, Austria, and Czechoslovakia. There were approximately 700,000 prisoners in these camps, about 200-250,000 of them Jews. In March-April 1945, most of the Jews were transferred from one camp to another, many by way of death marches - marching hundreds of kilometres under brutal conditions. Emphasizes the Nazis' determination to kill as many Jews as they could, both in the camps and on the roads, up to the last day of the war. 25,000 SS men took part in evacuating the camps and accompanying the marches. Recounts specific occurrences as related in the memoirs of surviving Jews found in the Yad Vashem archives, and the shocked reactions of the liberating Allied armies.
