Auschwitz Monowitz
As Auschwitz contained sub-camps, Auschwitz III
(Auschwitz-Monowitz) was a labor section. Auschwitz-Monowitz was a
Labor/Education camp where prisoners would work to their deaths. The Nazis
partnered with I.G. Farben factories to accommodate positions for their
prisoners to work and supply the German war effort by making materials and
working 12- hour, uninterrupted shifts (Lawton 28). Unjustly, other local
factories and stone quarries also used the innocent prisoners as slaves to
labor in places where injury and death pervaded as a seemingly inescapable
torment. Being a work camp (arbeitslager) that held approximately 12,000
people, Auschwitz III was a place where underperforming German workers would be
enslaved to learn and gain work experience. However, under inexcusable
treatment, workers were forced to walk to their jobs, 4-6 kilometers each way,
to a dead end where no hope remained. Although the labor and work prisoners
were seen as more valuable, they were still being forced to work to their
deaths. Auschwitz III drove the imprisoned undesirables to an unbelievable
suffering while fueling German war effort simultaneously.
