Deportación Los nazis se dedicaron a debilitar a los judíos privarlos de su dignidad y aislarlos del mundo exterior. Sólo restaba llevar a cabo la Solución Final. En todas partes de la Europa ocupada se les ordenó concentrarse en lugares específicos, generalmente con acceso al sistema ferroviario, llevando consigo sólo unas pocas pertencias. Cualqueira que no siguiuera las órdenes o no pudiera seguir el ritomo esperado era ejucutado al instante. En las estación de trenes, eran amontonados en vagones de ganado sin ventilación que se cerraban desde el exterior. El viaje a los campos de exterminio se realizaba en condiciones inimaginables. Duraba varios días en los que no había agua, alimento or facilidades sanitarias. Al llegar a su destino, muchos habían perecido.

locations, usually close to train stations, and to bring with them only a few belongings. Anyone who did not follow the order to gather or could not keep the pace with the others was instantly murdered. At the train stations, the Jews were loaded into crowded cattle cars without proper ventilation, water, or food or bathroom facilities. The cars were sealed from the outside and the Jews were trapped for days until they reached their destinations: labor or death camps. Many perished in transit as a result of the horrendous conditions.
