OpenStudy (anonymous):

@SwagBag Im being serious man, I have to do a report on it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what that was not suggestive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have to be specific

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay. let me think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

everything depended on resources they had/found access to

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

well some people survive because there were some not a lot but some good Nazi's that spared there lives and also there was the liberation of the camps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep they bribed and traded with guards, they shared food with only one person

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since they would all die that person might live longer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and escape mebbe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also with social ties with non jews in which that jew had something the non jew wanted

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they also had escapes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the great escape consisted of an underground workshop where hundreds of common items were used to escape

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there was a whole wooden railroad made of beds and stuff

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pretty cool maybe you could look into it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The survivors had many different techniques to survive. Some survived on the prospect of meeting their family again. They held out and was constantly looking for them. Others survived by getting "buddy buddy" with the upper jews. (The barracks were sometimes actually ran by other prisoners). They were able to get extra food here and there. Others still survived by thievery. They stole shoes, blankets, and food from prisoners who were on their death bed. Which in a way made some sense: If they were going to die, why waste that loaf of bread. And then there were those who were just plain lucky. They narrowly escaped every perilous obstacle in their way, and were rescued by the Allies. These people were brave, strong, determined, and cunning. Most were not afraid of what they had to do because they figured "what else do I have to lose?"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes the non-jews would provide support/protection in order to help the jews escape and survive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

over 70 men escaped but only three actually made it out of the country

OpenStudy (anonymous):

honestly it's a pretty generic question as to how starving people survive in prisons.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes in prisons they trade and even steal supplies to keep alive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

research third world prisons and you have your (very many) answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):
