What were the crematorium like during the Holocaust?

Answer 1

A crematorium is an 'oven' (most often the heating ovens [boiler rooms] of the building housing the people) where the dead bodies where burned into ash or "cremated", these 'ovens' ran 24 hours a day during 1937-'39 and still couldn't keep up with the amount of people being murdered. A gas chamber was either an enclosed room, or a tour bus which had the exhaust piped into the rear compartment where they loaded the Jewish and handicapped people for 'joy rides' around the German towns which actually poisoned the people and they died viciously.

Cremators are never called "ovens". The crematoria in the Nazis' extermination camps used purpose-built cremators, not heating-boilers, but the combination of gas-chambers and crematoria did not come into use until later, during the War itself, and continued until liberation by the various Allied nations' armies converging on Germany from East and West in 1944. The earlier mass-murders were generally by shooting and to a lesser extent gassing in vehicles.
