∙ 15y agoGas 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.

Of course there were problems with this. So the mortuary in the crematorium was thence used as a gas chamber.
