Document Summary
Two things going on: mass murders on one side and at the same time a more sanitized and conveyor belt style of mass murder (to make it more efficient) If not enough trains available, would use trucks or have them march. Sometime in 1941 nazis decided to implement final solution. Resettled in east for slave labor/murder them. Weren"t given food or water, long journeys from as far as france etc. and in winter as well. Packed people in sealed freight cars packed with people. Prob: no signed order from hitler so no proof that he initiated it. Heydrich and himmler: people working towards hitler, to impress him and did stuff to gain ranks so could be them doing this to impress hitler and say this is what germany needs to do. Before 1942 building of camps happened: sept 1941-july 1942: nazis have camps in poland.
