It was a part of the "Final Solution" to the Jewish "problem". Jews were taken there from all over Europe in crowded cattle trucks. Those who survived the journey were split into two groups, those to be immediately killed and those who could temporarily be useful to the running of the camp. Most were stripped and herded into "shower" buildings where they were sealed in & Xylon B was dropped in through a hatch in the roof. This killed them & their bodies were disposed of in purpose built crematoria which were running day & night.
