Hitler saw Jews as the source of every world problem even if it was world hunger. So he set up death camps to kill off many Jews at a time.

Syinide Crystals- Nazi's sent these down the holding chambers and in just 5 or 6 miuntes of no symtomes they didnt already have (stomache or muscale pain, light headed) many were dead and many holding cells freed.

Gas chambers- these didnt last long. Only 20 to 30 could fit in and then the room would be filled with CO2. It took to long for them to die before almost twice as many arrived and were waiting.

Mass graves- Jewish slaves would dig these large holes where other Jews were lined up and shot by troops. then they were buried and the next line and buried. Troops made reblions against this when they started relizing it was bad to shoot so many at a time.

All Jews were stripped of clothes, jewelry, and valuables before being sent to be "Processed" (killed) a book called Devil's Arthimatic or the movie Sobivor could show you what its like in one.
