In World War 2 Jews from Germany and Western Europe were transported eastwards, mainly to the slave labour and extermination camps in Poland (early 1942 onwards). In the early stages of the Holocaust (October 1941 on) some German Jews were taken to Riga in Latvia and slaughtered in mass open-air shootings. Others were sent to the ghetto in Minsk and Maly Trostenets death camp near Minsk. A few were dumped in the already overcrowded Warsaw Ghetto. Nearly all the extermination camps were in Poland.

They usually killed them on the spot; ecxecution. If they didn't noticed that they were handicapped; they would killed them first than the others as soon as they found out and took them to the Concentration Camps and killed them, shotting at them or pushed them with others for "the bath" and that bath usually meant bleach instead of water; until all of them died. These bath were a horrible torture because by this point; the women hair was shaved and the children too. Some bath were baths and others were lethal with chlorine; but they did not know which one will be the mortal one. That was one of the many psycological torture that the holocaust were submitted constanly. Another method that they used for the handicapped is based in Eugenics. They sterilized the mothers' of the handicapped and the handicapped against their will. Ironically this idea that Adolf Hitler had; was based on a Law that was implemented in US between lates 20's and early 30's (the great depression).
