My friend and I got into a debate, she said most people who died in Auschwitz, died from the gas chamber, I said the greater number perished from poor diet, overwork and disease. The average life expectancy was 6 weeks to 3 months. I have read numerous books and autobiographies and the gas chambers came later in the camp's life, I think it was 1943. As it is doubtful that we will ever know the exact details, the Germans were meticulous record keepers. Anyone have an idea which two categories did the most killing?

The gas chamber was last on the list. Many were shot. I have photos of the blood trenches.

Depending on the source 85% were murdered in the camp. Purportedly 960,000 Jews entered the camp and were immediately killed, gassed or otherwise. So no, starvation and disease were secondary.

From what I read, anyone really old or really young who couldn’t work was killed immediately. Those who could work were worked to almost death then killed.
Joel rosenburgs fictional novel about it was good at capturing the brutality.

What Swifty said. Also, Auschwitz was a death camp. 1.3 million prisoners arrived, with 900,000+ dying immediately in the gas chambers. Of the 400,000 not selected for extermination half died.

No idea, but from a pragmatic perspective... recycling clothes... or at least the fiber from cloth would be seasonal maybe... I suspect nude and gassed in a shower might be most efficient to recycle fiber for the fall or winter needs?.
Really no idea though.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

As it is doubtful that we will ever know the exact details, the Germans were meticulous record keepers. Anyone have an idea which two categories did the most killing? Auschwitz II (or "Birkenau") was about 2 miles away from the main prison/concentration camp. Birkenau is where ‘selektion’ was conducted at the rail ramp. Women, children, meek, weak and old were sent immendiately to the showers. It was actually the true ‘death camp’ for pure purposes of extermination of pure, 1st order, 2nd order jewry and gypsies (romas) Auschwitz 3 was purely a work labor camp for the local rubber manufacturing works In all sites, the goal was ultimately to work the piss out of someone on limited calories. There were about 45 subcamps that made up the whole vast complex over several square miles. Medical experiments and admin were conducted at the main camp I. Shooting were done on the black wall between Block 10-11 of the barracks rows.

Really no idea though. Clothing, shoes, eyeglasses, luggage, personal belongings were routinely train car shipped back into deeper Germany for sorting, and redistribution. Sonderkommandos were tasked with pulling gold fillings and wedding bands from the bodies as they dragged them off to the crematoriums. Sonderkomms were other jews on work detail. Their life expectancy was about 6-8 weeks considering their grim tasks

Greatest cause of death was compliance Non compliance had a short life span there also but your point is well made. Their past and our prologue, maybe.

Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?
