Is it true that when Adolf Hitler killed Jewish prisoners that some of the remains were used to make lamp shades or other items?

Yes, this is true. Jews were legally classified as animals rather than human beings, in Nazi Germany, and their dead bodies were commercially exploited; skin for lamp shades, fat for the manufacture of soap, and most valuable of all, teeth, to recover gold from fillings or crowns. No need to let Jewish bodies go to waste.

Who came up with gassing the Jews in the concentration camps in World War 2?

In 1941, Nazi Germany decided to kill off all of the Jews in their occupied territories, but it presented a logistical problem in how to kill hundreds of thousands of people quickly and inexpensively. The commandant at the Auschwitz concentration camp, Rudolf Höss, admitted that mass firing squads led to depression and suicide among many of the German soldiers assigned to the details.

His deputy, Karl Fritzsch, tested the lice-killing pesticide gas Zyklon-B on some Soviet POWs and found that it killed them quickly. It was mostly hydrogen cyanide and did not persist after being applied. Along with a crematorium to reduce the volume of the bodies, it became the standard killing procedure at some Nazi extermination camps.
