Best Answer

The largest group was gassed in extermination camps.

Many Jews were killed in mass open-air shootings. Other Jews were sent to extermination camps (death camps). Many were gassed on arrival and other were worked to death. And the Jews would be starved, frozen, or shot on the spot.

Many died of starvation and/or disease in ghettos and camps.

Most Jews, like everyone else in concetration camps (miscreants, the "undesired", gypsies, etc.) died primarily by malnutrition and/or disease.

It's highly contested (and a topic of great contention) as to whether or not "gas chambers" were for anything more than delousing with the chemical called Zyklon B.

There were four main ways (aside from Concentration Camps and Death Camps) that Jews were exterminated during the Holocaust.

1) Labor Camps: Many Jews died of exhaustion in Forced Labor Camps which are at different sites than Concentration Camps and focused primarily on goods production for the German Armies.

2) Ghetto: Many Jews died of starvation, overcrowding, and disease in the numerous ghettos into which they were forced under Nazi rule.

3) Einsatzgruppen: Before the implementation of the Final Solution, German soldiers would bring Jews into open fields and fire rounds into them (fire squads). These squads were called the Einsatzgruppen. When the Final Solution was chosen, it was chosen specifically because the Einsatzgruppen wasted valuable bullets that should be saved for the War effort.

4) Partisans: A small number of Jews joined the local resistances of the various countries in which they lived and were killed on account of their military/partisan activities.

They were killed by shooting them, gas chambers, hanging, anything that would do the job.
