It's like having a concentration death camp. Brandt escaped from a transport heading for the death camp at Sobibor. The company had a workshop near the Auschwitz death camp. Billy is at a death camp in Botslavia. His parents were murdered in the Treblinka Death Camp. He stops the car and exits at the ruins of an old death camp. Their destination was often Auschwitz Death Camp. Jews were gathered and held there before deportation to the Treblinka death camp. He was caught and subsequently incarcerated at Auschwitz death camp for two years. Sonderkommandos (, "special unit") were work units made up of German Nazi death camp prisoners. After the escape, SS Chief Heinrich Himmler ordered the death camp closed. The Germans turned Auschwitz into a major death camp by expanding its extermination facilities. Following Demjanjuk's conviction, however, Germany began aggressively prosecuting former death camp guards. A second, major sweep occurred in 1942, before death camp killing replaced "Einsatzkommando" open-pit executions.
