The Holocaust

They eventually came up with extermination camps and the quote unquote, " Newer gas Chambers." .
             Although the carbon monoxide was working, they advanced their poison as they advanced their building. They would go on to use a a gas known as Zyklon-B. This gas was said to make an even more clean and more effcient kill than the previous methods. how exactly did they get the pellets into the chamber? Well that's going to come when I talk about how the whole process took place.
             Personally, if I new that going into this huge building was going to get me killed then naturally I woud refuse to go in right? Well, the germans figured that out too so they tricked the Jews.They would tell them that they'd be okay if they just did what they were told. you'll get all your things back as soon as possible, you'll return you to your family asap, you'll recieve warm clothes and food if everyone coroperates. They put a sign on the front of the chamber that said " Showers." Picture this, you just got off of a train car that was packed wall to wall with about 500 other people and it was hot and stinky in there. I'm not genious but I think you'd be grateful for a hot bath. The process was like this: undress in a barrack or ywar, go to another barrack and have every inch of hair shaves off (which was to get rid of lice and what not) take a bar of soap, stand in line and then be crammed into a building with about 4,000 other people.
             The chambers were not at all fancy. They were plain air tight rooms made of grey concrete. On the inside walls there were blue stains from the Zyklon-B gas. There were removable doors on the opposite side of every chamber. Through these dorrs the bodies of the victims were thrown out by other Jews working as slaves. They were huge and roomy when empty and were also damp inside. They had flat roofs made of roofing felt. Over the roof was a net covered with branches.Though the inside wasn't the Four Seasons the outside wasn't half bad.
