Women During The Holocaust

Women were treated as bad as men were treated, or worse during the Holocaust. Women were forced into beatings and even rape at times. Women were treated like dogs, really. During the holocaust, Jews female Jews were not the only people targeted. Sometimes, even Romas(Gypsy) were targeted.

Lots of women were beaten, and most of the time even murdered, but so were fetuses in the stomachs of these women. If you were a pregnant Jewish or Roma woman during the holocaust, you were either one; sent to the gas chamber, or two; forced to have an abortion if you got pregnant from a rape of an officer.

Lots of times women were transported back to where they came from without food or medical supplies. This most likely means that they were going to die anyways. If you were kept in the camp, you were most likely forced to do sexual things for things like food.
