Prisoners Of War Concentration Camps
1,397 words... The scientifically planned crematoria should have been able to handle the total project, but they could not. The whole complex had forty-six retorts, each with the capacity for three to five persons. The burning in a retort lasted about half an hour. It took an hour a day to clean them out. Thus it was theoretically possible to cremate about 12, 000 corpses in twenty four hours or 4, 380, 000 a year.

Means Of Production Fall Of Communism
2,191 wordsCommunism in Poland was self-consciously the workers-state, largely responsible for creating the modern Polish working class through industrialization and raising expectations of equality and of higher living standards. It is widely believed that Solidarity undermined Communism in Poland, partly by disrupting the Communist program of production through strikes, but more by transferring the trust and loyalty of the Polish people from Communism to itself. The supposed "adversaries" of Polish worke...

Cold War Term Causes
2,223 words... aking. One has to remember that the Cold War dominated many plans, with the drive for eastern superiority governing this sector. However, many of the policies were ill thought out with little foresight, with historians such as McCauley arguing this as a key trait of Khrushchev. An example of this lack of planning could be seen in the late fifties, when the president ordered the quantity of beef produced to increase. Farmers promptly went out and slaughtered every cow in sight. This obviously...

Some of the more notable death marches included the mass march from the Warsaw Ghetto to the extermination camp at Auschwitz and the numerous marches that occurred following ghettoization related in Elie Wiesels Night.
