The Holocaust, what is the true depth of the word? As sad as
             it may seem, it affected the lives of millions because of
             the hate inside of one certain group of people, the Nazi's.
             Dehumanization is to deprive human qualities such as
             individuality or compassion. Victims of the Holocaust went
             through dehumanization simply to make the killing of others
             psychologically easy for the Nazi's.
             Many victims of the Holocaust suffered from various
             experiments which eventually led to the death. Some of the
             experiments were things such as: sun lamp, internal
             irrigation, hot bath, warming by body heat,
             freezing/hypothermia etc. The internal irrigation system is
             when, "the frozen victims would have water heated to a near
             blistering temperature forcefully irrigated into the
             stomach, bladder, and intestines." (Medical Experiments of
             the Holocaust and Nazi Medicine) Why would anybody perform
             such horrible things on another human being? That is a
             question that many people still can't answer. It is much
             more complex than it may seem. The Nazi's wanted to make the
             victims do so many degrading things that they would appear
             to be subhuman. Killing somebody less than human was more
             justifiable to the Nazi's. One experiment that was conducted
             on a pair of Russians describes the torture that many
             victims went through. The experiment of the twins is
             graphically described, "the next part of the examination
             consisted of tubes being forced through their noses and into
             their lungs. They were then ventilated with a gas which
             caused them to cough so severely that they had to be
             restrained. The sputum from the lungs was collected for
             examination." (Medical Experiments of the Holocaust and Nazi
             Medicine) These sort of things went on throughout the camps
             and the victims were just being used as lab rats.
             The living conditions within camps played a major role
