They used:

  1. Mass open air shootings.
  2. Extermination camps.
  3. Many Jews were worked to death by being forced to do heavy manual labour on grossly inadequate rations.
  4. Many Jews were forced to live on very little food in desperately overcrowded and insanitary ghettos, especially in Nazi-occupied Poland. Many died of disease and starvation.
  5. In the final few months of the war some were killed on death marches.

_____

After the German invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, mobile killing units following in the wake of the German Army began shooting massive numbers of Jews and Roma (Gypsies) in open fields and ravines on the outskirts of conquered cities and towns. Eventually the Nazis created a more secluded and organized method of killing enormous numbers of civilians -- six extermination centers were established in occupied Poland where large-scale murder by gas and body disposal by cremation were systematically conducted. Victims were deported to these centers from Western Europe and from the ghettos in Eastern Europe which the Nazis had established. In addition, millions died in the ghettos and concentration camps as a result of forced labor, starvation, exposure, brutality, disease and execution.

______

In the beginning the Jews were primarily shot. Execution squads would drive large groups of Jews to remote locations (usually in forests) and shoot them there. Sometimes mass grave were prepared beforehand, sometimes the victims had to dig them.

However, it became quickly apparent that this method had several flaws. First, it was "inefficient"; the amount of manpower and equipment (bullets, trucks, gas) needed was so much, that the goal of the extermination of all Jews in Europe would not have been attainable. Also, the direct involvement of soldiers with the mass executions caused psychological problems.

The next step was gas trucks, which had gas chambers big enough to hold about 100 persons mounted in the back. But again, while more efficient this too did not achieve the numbers desired by Nazi leaders.

That was when plans were drawn up for centralized Extermination Camps, in which the Jews were herded into large chambers (800-1200 in Auschwitz) under the pretense of being disinfected or deloused - the Nazis even went so far as to hand out soap and towels to elicit cooperation to the last moment - just to be then poisoned using HCn, Hydrogen Cyanide (released from "Zykon-B") , in a process lasting up to 20 min. Afterward, depending on location and/or time frame, the bodies where either dumped in mass graves or cremated.

Many victims died of diseases they got from the poor hygiene and nutrition. The Holocaust Museum website, as well as the Anne Frank memorial website, offer much more information. Some of it is disturbing, however.

5. They hung them.
