The Sonderkommandos & The Revolt at Auschwitz - Danny T
1. I think the Sonderkommando’s changed every few months because since the Nazis had so many
Jewish prisoners on their hands, the Nazi soldiers were more than dedicated to get rid of the existing
ones and have the new ones come in to perform the duties.
2. I think that some of the Jews were ‘willing’ to be Sonderkommando’s because some Jewish people
have decided to end their lives because all of their family is gone and they have nowhere else to go
in life other than to die in the camps. In other words, the Jews wanted to become
Sonderkommando’s because they want to commit suicide.
