Gas chambers were large rooms or halls that could be made airtight. The victims were packed tightly inside, the doors shut and then the gas was released. After about 30 minutes the place was ventilated thoroughly and the corpses were put in vast ovens to burn them. These ovens are called crematoria. They were used to exterminate 6 million jews, among others, in what is now called the Holocaust.

How did the first gas chamber come about?

I don't know but it was a very agonizingly painful, disturbing, and stupid time. ---------------------------------------- Strictly speaking the first gas chamber would be the room that the first test were conducted in: In the basement of Block 11 (Auschwitz) there were 'suffocation cells' where there were only very small gaps to allow a minimal amount of air in, (so as to prolong the suffocation) one of these cells was adapted to allow no air to enter. Of course there were problems with this. So the mortuary in the crematorium was thence used as a gas chamber.
