2. History of WWII
.World War II, one the darkest periods in the history of
the world, raged from 1939 to 1945 and involved almost
the entire world. Countries were destroyed, created or
changed forever. Fifty million people lost their lives
between 1939 and 1945 and hundreds of millions more
suffered injuries and wounds.

6. If a U.S. or other Allied soldier was suspected of being Jewish, gay, or of some other
category that would’ve gotten a German or Polish person thrown into a concentration camp,
then that soldier would likely be thrown into a concentration camp themselves. There, they
would be subject to all the atrocities of the Holocaust, including summary execution as the
Germans tried to hide evidence of their crimes at war’s end
And some prisoners were subjected to the same unethical medical experiments that the
Nazis famously performed on Jewish prisoners
What life was like for World
War II prisoners
German prisons were more strict, had more reports of beatings and
food shortages, and some prisoners were executed for political
reasons as the war drew to an end. But the worst German atrocities
were those committed against suspected commandos, Jews, or
people’s designated undesirable by the German state

7. Soviet Union
That may sound like the worst a World War II prisoner could suffer, but
there were similar nightmares in store for certain prisoners of the Soviet
Union. Food shortages for the Soviet Army led to forced labor of some
prisoners. And the deep hatred of Soviet troops toward German invaders
led to summary executions and torture. Food was scarce and could be
made from inedible ingredients like straw or sawdust

8. Hell ship
A hell ship is a ship with extremely inhumane living
conditions or with a reputation for cruelty among the
crew. It now generally refers to the ships used by
the Imperial Japanese Navy and Imperial Japanese
Army to transport Allied prisoners of war (POWs)
and romushas (Asian forced slave laborers) out of
the Dutch East Indies, the Philippines, Hong Kong
and Singapore in World War II.
Hell ships were worse than the death
“Men who were on the Bataan Death March said the
hell ships were worse and it’s a story that nobody
knows.”
The Bataan Death March saw the transfer of
60,000-80,000 American and Filipino POWs from
Bataan to Capas in the Philippines. The estimated
casualties during the march range from 5,650 to
18,000 of POW deaths.
Thompson estimated 14,000 Allied POWs died on
the Japanese hell ships. They either froze or
starved to death. There was so little food that
Thompson’s father resorted to eating undigested
oats in horse manure in the ship’s hold.
Pacific while fighting Japan
.in the Pacific Theater, nearly 30,000 Americans were
imprisoned by the Japanese. Most of these men and
women were captured after the fall of the Philippines
and suffered some of the highest death rates in
American history at nearly 40 percent. Prisoners of
war suffered a brutal captivity and many were
crowded into "hell ships" bound for Japan. Often
times, the unmarked ships were torpedoed by
submarines. Those POWs who survived
imprisonment in the Philippines and the hell ships
were forced to work in mines and other locations in
Japan. Most worked seven days a week with minimal
food

9. How World War II led to Human
Rights Laws
 In the 1930s and 1940s, around six million Jews and millions of
others, including Romanis,
homosexuals and disabled people, perished at the hands of the Nazis.
 After he came to power they persecuted the Jews and other groups:
intimidating them, taking their money and property, and encouraging
them to leave the country. The outbreak of WWII led to far more savage
persecution, including mass killings.
 As part of Hitler’s ‘Final Solution,’ the Nazis gathered Jews and other
persecuted groups inconcentration camps. Camp prisoners endured
systematic cruelty; beating, starvation and torture were normal. Doctors,
including the notorious Dr Mengele, performed brutal experiments. The
Nazi government depended on slave labour. Conditions in camps were
brutal and degrading, and often resulted in deaths. Many camps
contained gas chambers, where prisoners were exterminated
 .This policy of cruel treatment and deliberate, systematic genocide
across German-occupied Europe shocked the world. After the Nazis
were defeated by the Allied Forces in WWII, the world united to agree
on minimum standards of dignity to be afforded to all human beings.
These minimum standards became known as human rights.
