oductivity was minimal. Camps were set up
             along railroad lines, so that the prisoners would be
             conveniently close to their destination. As they were being
             transported, the soldiers kept telling the Jews to have hope.
             (3) When the camps were finally opened, most of the
             families who were shipped out together ended up being
             separated. Often, the transports mirrored what went on in
             the camps; cruelty by the officers, near starvation of those
             being transported, fetid and unsanitary conditions on the
             trains. "On the trains, Jews were starved of food and water
             for days. Many people did not survive the ride to arrive at
             the camp." Jews were forced to obey the guards' orders
             from the moment they arrived at the camps. "If they didn't,
             they would be beaten, put into solitary confinement or shot."
             Prisoners usually had marks on their clothes or numbers on
             their arms to identify them. The sanitary conditions of the
             camps were horrible. "There was only one bathroom for four
             hundred people. They had to stand for hours in snow, rain,
             heat, or cold for roll call, which was twice a day." Within the
             first few days of being at the camps, thousands of people
             died of hunger, starvation and disease. Other people died
             from the cruel punishments of the guards; beatings and
             torture. "Typhus, a disease caused by germs carried by flies,
             was the main disease that spread throughout the camps.
             Even when people were sick, they still continued working
             because they did not see that sickness meant death." In
             1937, 7,000 Jews were in camps. By 1938, 10,000 more
             Jews were sent to camps. "Jews were taken to camps if they
             expressed negative feelings about the government, if they
             married a non-Jew, if they were sick (mentally or physically),
             or if they had a police record." (4) When someone escaped
             from the camp, all the prisoners in that group were shot.
