QUESTION:

What type of torture was used by Nazis on Jews?

ANSWERS:

They would skin them alive, run over them, shoot them, attach two jews together and see how long they could survive, cut body parts off and attach them to others, hang them, gas chambers, or they could work untill they died. TASH RULES

· Jews were whipped, and also skinned alive. Sometimes guards would push them to the ground and kick them to death. Jews sent to the "showers" were told to undress in front of everyone before entering the showers. Once in there they would bolt the doors shut and fill the chambers with gas.

· They used cruel and unusual experimental devices, and also did cruel experiments like sewing Jews together at the torso to see if they could live as "Siamese twins."

· The German doctors did cruel medical experiments that few Jews survived.

· Tied them to a post and tore the flesh off their backs with a stick wrapped with barbed wire.

· Starvation

· Using saltwater and electricity

· General torture of the inmates is pretty much easy to imagine: whipping; random killing or maiming; rape; defamation and degradation of the person's rights.

· At Auschwitz they sometimes unleashed hungry dogs on the prisoners. The senior women's warder enjoyed whipping inmates across the face and this often caused blindness. A blind inmate was no use for work, and so was sent off to the gas chambers.

· One of the more common tortures used in some Nazi camps involved tying an inmate's wrists securely behind the back and then suspending him for anything from 30 minutes to a few hours. The pain and the effect on the muscles and joints can easily be imagined. It was horrific.

· Some victims were dropped, face down, on to collections of fixed, fairly sharp objects (but not sharp enough to kill them). If they fainted they were revived and the process was repeated.

Vulture waiting for the child to die

"Some were skinned alive and their flesh thrown to the dogs. The hands and feet of others were chopped off and their bodies flung into he roadway where wagons ran them over and they were trampled by horses... Children were slaughtered at their mothers' breasts, and they were sliced open like fish... no form of unnatural death in the world was not inflicted upon them." And although Jews were the primary target of violence, the rebels ravaged and beheaded Roman Catholic clergy, while churches were pillaged and set aflame.
