Did Jews survive gas chambers

Answer 1

Yes. There is one woman, Gena Turgel who walked out of the gas chamber alive and was not killed when found alive.

However, once one was actually in an extermination camp, the chances of survival were practically nil. Most survivors were people used for slave labor or people who managed to hide successfully till the danger was past. As for the former, it helped if one was sent to a camp late in the Holocaust.

Answer 2

No. They had them take off their clothing and walk in. Men in one, women and children in another. They could gas 300 people an hour 24-7.

There was a case of one 14 year old girl surviving, she had been trapped in a pocket of air, enclosed by corpses, after she being given tea, she as taken out and shot. This is the incident that Primo Levi uses to illustrate that no one is purely evil and no one purely good, as the Nazi in charge had given her some tea.

The larger gas chambers (at Auschwitz) could hold 2500 people in one session, it took about three hours to clear. The ovens would work around the clock.

Answer 3

They did not, no one escaped from the gas chambers. One girl did survive, so then she was shot.
