Why was Auschwitz the most effective Nazi concentration camp during the Holocaust? Auschwitz was the most effective Nazi concentration camp during the Holocaust due to its methods of mass extermination/murder, structure and administration, constant rate of murders and their financing. The Holocaust is the time when Adolf Hitler and his Nazi army led a revolution against the Jews and anyone who stood in the way of their views. During the Holocaust, the Nazis established many camps to exterminate or kill innocent citizens, Auschwitz being the most effective. Auschwitz was effective due to one of the fastest killing methods used, such as gas chambers, overworking prisoners, and disease. Second, the structure and administration of Auschwitz helped keep things in order and run them effectively. There was supervised and commanded training in the field, authorities, ranks and economic administration to help finance materials and equipment. Over time, it is easy to see how Auschwitz is consistent with the extermination based on the deaths of innocent Jewish children, Jewish women and men, how many lost their lives in Auschwitz, the average lifespan of a Jew, and the camp protocols. A project, or camp, like Auschwitz was mostly self-financed by kidnapping or arresting its own slaves, earning money from the work done by prisoners, and last but not least, financed by other allies such as Italy and France . Overview of the HolocaustHolocaust is a word of Greek origin meaning sacrifice by the fire. Around the 1930s Hitler and the Nazi Party rose to power through the perspectives of the citizens and government that made up the interwar period in Germany. Many Germans could not accept their country's decision... middle of paper... to torture innocents, but the camp was efficient and well run so it must have been a success at least for the Nazis and their leaders.Works Cited1.Macadam , Heather Dune.
