the prisoners, once sent to concentration camps, were split into two lines: one went to work to death, literally, and the other went to the gas chamber. after being gassed they were incinerated in a nearby oven.

they would shoot them or gas them but many starved to death or died from disease.

The extermination camps had gas chambers disguised as shower-rooms, so large numbers of people could be gassed at once, usually with a gas that had been invented as a rodenticide. Their bodies were cremated without ceremony. The whole scheme was on an industrial scale, and it is this plus Hitler's twisted rationale perhaps that sets the Nazis apart from the equally cruel Stalinist, Maoist and Khmer Rouge Communists, and modern mass-killers like Bokal Harun (sp?).

Prisoners of the concentration camps and extermination camps were killed by starvation, disease, being shot, being gassed to death, and subjected to medical experiments that often killed them. Some never made it to the camps because they died on the way to the camps from exposure, hangings, shootings, disease, starvation, dehydration, or being knifed.

In the camps the main method of killing Jews was to simply work them to death. Those who reported in sick were generally given an injection to kill them, but the concentration camps were not killing centres like the death camps were.
