Psychology of Auschwitz

Auschwitz was a hell hole. At the of entering the death camp the arrival of every prisoners was a nightmare. The conditions of the camp were unbearable and its is unbelievable how many survived the conditions. Many of the prisoners after 2 or 3 months got use to the death that happened around them everyday. The death rate was high that it left the prisoners with no emotion. They had to be in a mental state were they became accustom to deaths. But not every prisoner had this mentality others could not bare with the violence that they faced everyday which lead them to suicide. With the conditions of the camp many had to adapt quickly to the atmosphere and live everyday like it was the norm. The most common mental state of prisoners was depression. It made many have a breakdown and made them lose the faith of surviving. Still with the horrifying conditions many survived but the mental state of these survivors will never be the same.
