Answer 2

sorry if these are dark its what happened to people sadly:(

A crematorium or crematory is a venue for the cremation of the dead. Modern crematoria contain at least one cremator (also known as a crematory, retort or cremation chamber), a purpose-built furnace. In some countries a crematorium can also be a venue for open-air cremation.

Between 250,000 and 300,000 Jews withstood the concentration camps and death marches, although tens of thousands of these survivors were too weak or sick to live more than a few days, weeks or months, notwithstanding the care that they received after liberation.

Life expectancy in many of these camps was between six weeks and three months. Over a million of the Auschwitz dead were Jews, and scholars have concluded that more than half of them were women.

It has been established so far that 928 prisoners attempted to escape from the Auschwitz camp complex-878 men and 50 women. The Poles were the most numerous among them-their number reached 439 (with 11 women among them).

hope this helped good luck with the assignment!!!!!
