Jews dug their own graves by using shovels or sometimes with their own bare hands. This was used because as an act of torture and then used for killings. The Nazis did this because they didn't want to get their own hands dirty.

∙ 12y agoThe Nazis never gave the Jews a proper burial. Often, after being killed, they were simply thrown into huge pits. Trucks were used to simply dump them in. Sometimes up to 5,000 people were all thrown together to be buried. Overall, the Nazis were very cruel and could have cared less about how the Jews were buried.

∙ 13y agoThis is not strictly speaking true, Prisoners were marched into ( unknown to themselves) Free fire zones, where Machine Gunners held target practice They were led into trenches- as this was a war zone, and some may have survived by keeping down in the trench- after the gunfire- Engineer bulldozers came up and in effect filled in the whole pit area- some POWS may have been buried alive in this fashion, but had already been shot and wounded- it is a war crime.
