Zyklon B was developed by Fritz Haber, a German Jewish chemist and Nobel laureate. It was a cyanide based insecticide and used during the first world war for delousing, but was later used in the killing of thousands of Jews in gas chambers

Zyklon B was originally used as a pest control in a crystallised form but the gases are poisonous. It wasn't used as a killing gas until the Deputy in charge of Auschwitz I had the idea. It was tested on the worst block. Block 11. The actual Zyklon B gas was invented at some point in the 1800's and wasn't invented but discovered.
