How were the Jews murderd during the World War 2 Holocaust?

During the WWII Holocaust Jewish people were sent to death camps if they were found in a hiding place. At the death camps, they were made to work hard and were treated extremely cruelly by the Nazis. Little did they know that in the death camps, they were going to die. The Nazis found many ways to slaughter them. If they were hiding in any specific room, they would shoot around the room and in between floorboards to save time instead of searching for them. If a Jewish person was caught he/she and their helper (whether they were Jewish or not) could be hung on posts and suffered as passers-by noticed what consequences they would suffer if they helped Jewish people. In the death camps, anything could happen. If the Nazis felt like it, they would order every person (man, women, even child) to line up against a pit that they would be shot into - and the Jewish did not even know what misfortune was in store for them. Shooting into pits was commonly committed by the Nazis. The Jewish could also be ordered to walk into a large room where they were made to strip their clothes and all "enter a shower". The doors were sealed tight so none of them could escape and a Nazi soldier would release a toxic gas into the room through the shower taps which would automatically kill every person inside. This was called "Gassing". The Nazis would later burn the bodies together. What the Nazis did to the Jewish during the WWII Holocaust was horrible. They were all used and mistreated just because that was what Hitler wanted.


What did nazi Germany use in its attempt to murder all European Jews?

The Nazis burned bodies, beat them, starved them to death, put them in gas chambers that was used to hold a large number of people at one time, shot them, and worked them to death. The greatest number of Jewish people killed during WWII were gassed to death in large structures that pumped carbon dioxide into the air-tight chambers( such as the ones that animal control uses nowdays) and re-assembled them as showers to trick the Jews into going in them. (eventhough the Nazi's main target was the Jews there were others such as Gypsies, Jehovah's witnesses, homosexuals, and the old and sick>he Nazi's thought of these people as the "impure" from the human race and to terminate the impure.)
