>Few days of cramped trains thru Europe, very painful death
VS
>Many days in a freer, colder train, excrutiatingly hard labour kept on the brink of starvation while working years, BUT you keep being alive
You do know forced labor and starvation took place in nazi concentration camps, right?
>>3119030
Yeah, I'm not denying that, but for tops 5 years vs people who spent lifetimes in gulag
>>3118907
I'm just excited for the KIDF to show up and claim the concentration camps were fake
>>3118907
GULAGs were refugee camps
>>3119049
What do you mean by this:"spent lifetimes in gulag"? Them were prisoners, they had prison's periods.
>>3119051
This desu. People only died in gulags because they starved themselves to make the Soviet's look bad
>>3118907
Why gulag of Hitler still don't have a loud label? It is because USA don't be in Cold War with Germany?
>>3119063
>>3119070
I thought this wasn't /v/, my mistake, I'll just be leaving
>>3118907
Most people who entered the GULAG came out alive.
>>3119370
Because de-Stalinization
>>3118907
>BUT you keep being alive
Death rates in the Gulags were much higher than in the concentration camps. You're making the mistake most morons make of equating the concentration camps with the death camps, most of the people kept in concentration camps survived the experience.
>>3120385
Population census says otherwise.
>>3120404
can you read, schlomo? Not every Concentration Camp was used for extermination, they also functioned as POW camps.
>but muh starved ppl
from mid 44 germany couldn't even feed it's own population, how would they feed prisoners?
>>3120500
So what you're trying to say is simply your Holocaust denier
>>3120500
funny that "they couldn't even feed their own people" excuses the nazis in a war that they started, but that doesn't count for the soviet union, who get slammed with the higher death rates in the gulag during the war years. nice logic there.
>>3118907
Concentration and death camps were different.
>>3122002
Please rephrase.
>>3118907
You could ask people who were in both nazi camps and soviet camps. Ive seen accounts claiming soviet camps were worse
>>3119063
I hope that is bait.
>>3122243
Survivor bias.
Gulag
Unless you were there for political reasons (in which case your chances of survival were nil) then you had a decent enough chance of making it, better if you were willing to get your hands dirty for the local gulag gangs.
