Irrelevant. This is assuming after the war they'd be disposed of anyway as per the Wannsee conference. While they were working there, they were not being eliminated systematically, they were not given enough food like some other people whose POW status was withdrawn contrary to Geneva Conventions SPECIFICALLY for food reasons as condoned by those defending that but at least they were housed.For Jews, yes
I had made a pre emptive move in order to avoid OTHER PEOPLE objecting that they gassed inmates, making my comparison invalid. That's why I specified the work camp part.The first part has the nominee objecting to an obvious comparison, whereby in Auschwitz they gassed inmated whereas in POW camps for US soldiers they didn't.
Wrong interpretation of my post. That people were gassed in he death camp does not invalidate that those kept alive in the work camp, despite all the difficult circumstances, at least were housed.This comparison is then meant to 'somehow' invalidate the following argument
True.the nominee was advancing the argument that
"at least in Auschwitz with all the malnourishment they at least had a roof over their heads"
In a work camp then inmates spend most of their time outside in whatever weather conditions exist, and so don't have a roof over their heads in all too many cases, which tends to kill them in conjunction with malnourishment.
The three main camps were Auschwitz I, Auschwitz II-Birkenau, and a work camp called Auschwitz III-Monowitz, or the Buna.

Do you even know what Buna stands for? Synthetic rubber. Are you going to pretend they worked outside doing agricultural work or what, Mr. Holocaust expert?
It is COMPLETELY invalidated because I had SPECIFICALLY written my post about the work camp, so any comparison between gassing at Auschwitz and whatever else is not valid since I had EXCLUDED the gassings from the comparison. What you people are trying to do is to RE-INCLUDE it to make me look stupid. Manipulation, lying, twisting of words, strawman arguments, everything has passed here in order for you people to try and lift that quote out of context.2. The comparison between gassing at Auschwitz and POW camps cannot, under any circumstances, be invalidated by this argument.
