I'm writing a report by interpreting myself as a Jew during the holocaust and I have to write a journal entry about 8 to 10 sentences describing the time spent on the way to my concentration camp. I was wondering, how far it was from Holland to Auschwitz?

When I meant how far, I meant how far in days

609 miles

In an airplane going 550 mph, that would take 1 hour, 6 minutes.

If a train were going 40 mph* how many hours would it take to go 609 miles?

------------------------
*40 mph is just a guess. If you find out how fast or slow trains traveled in those days, use that number.

The distance between Amsterdam and Auschwitz is about 800 miles. A train could have made the journey in 1944 in 2 or 3 days. However, it's likely that trains carrying Jews took much longer.

Thanks, Writeacher. I couldn't find the exact distance.

thanks!

You're welcome.

To find the distance between Holland and Auschwitz, you can follow these steps:

1. Identify the specific locations in Holland (e.g., the city where you are starting your journey) and Auschwitz (specifically, Auschwitz-Birkenau).

2. Search for a reliable map service or use an online mapping tool or app.

3. Enter the starting location (city in Holland) and the destination (Auschwitz-Birkenau) into the map tool.

4. The tool will calculate the distance between the two locations, usually displayed in kilometers or miles.

Note: The distance can vary depending on the specific starting point in Holland and the specific camp within Auschwitz. It's important to know that during the Holocaust, the journey to Auschwitz was often a long and arduous one, with different routes and methods of transportation used. It is meant to be a representation of the suffering endured by those transported during that time.
