Hitler kept the Jews in camps called Concentration Camps. The camps were located in Poland, Germany and France. One camp called Auschwitz, is located in Poland and is the largest of the German Concentration Camps, it was bigger then 15,000 football fields. There were many different ways to kill the Jews in the camps, one was poisoning them with gases in the gas chambers, burning them in ovens called crematorium or pits, and starving them. If they ate at all, it would be a small portion of something like stale bread, or watery soup, just enough to keep them working, but to shrink there stomaches.
