Ways of Extermination and Capture
Gas Chamber
The Gas Chamber was a chamber with items that looked like shower heads. These "shower heads" were actually gas pipes that released a chemical called hydrogen cyanide. Hydrogen cyanide is a chemical that is used to kill humans and animals with gas. To start the process, they would make their victims strip of clothing and believe that they were going to take a shower. They then sealed the chamber shut and released the deadly toxin. After all people were confirmed dead, they |
sent in the Sonderkommandos and they got any item that were worth money. Lastly, they burned all bodies.
Gas Van
The Gas Van was a vehicle that transported the Jews to a graveyard. Like the Gas Chamber, they would make the people strip of their clothes. They would load them in and the Nazis would start to drive away. The exhaust pipe would lead to where the Jews were and suffocate them. Only 3 people in total ever survived. As soon as they arrived their destination, they would see that the dead were injured. Everyone was frantically trying to escape that they injured each other in the process. Before 1943, they would bury the bodies but in attempt to hide all the dead, the Jews would burn them.

To and from camp-Capture
To start off, the Nazis would go from place to place trying to find any evidence that someone was a Jew. If they did find something, they would load up them into a cart and take that person to a train station. The Jew would be loaded into a train car with only a bucket for waste. Everyone would be forced to hold their arms up as there was no room to put them down. Seventy to one hundred people would be loaded into a car. Deportation would be the same.
