Forced Labor: In Deaths.

Many citizens in Germany believed that labor was a protective way of allowing "outsiders" to work on the local labor force. They also believed that the labor was a way of teaching the poeple proper habits and ways of doing certian objectives in everyday socity. When the NAZI came into the picture they used labor not only as a punishment but a way to teach the German people to support the racial goals of National Socialism.
Nazis prepared Germany for the second world war, the SS in the concetration camp system saw thetthe prisoners as a source of labor. The Nazi's decided that the "criminals" or "state enemines" would make a great alternet for the labor that was being lost. In 1938 the German police rounded up and started plans for houseing a large number of people, starting of with prisoners of war and then on to the Jews. When poland was concurred by Germany they required all Jewish and Polish males to preform unpaid labor.

    It's so sad these people had to work themselves to death basically. I can't imagine what was going on in their heads and the people who put them through this.
