The most commonly used was Zyklon B, a cyanide-based pesticide.

Degesch was a chemical company consortium that manufactured the gas. It was owned 42.5% by IG Farben, 42.5% by Degussa, the rest by another company. Many chemical companies supplied components which went into the gas crystals. Dessauer did the actual manufacturing, the stabilizer came from IG Farben, the warning agent from Schering. Schering-Plough and IG Farben are still in business. US General Eisenhower had his headquarters in the IG Farben building immediately after Germany surrendered. The building had not been bombed.

Zyklon B is still manufactured, in Kolin in the Czech Republic, under the tradename Uragan D2, for use against insects and small animals.

The Nazi's didn't really associate them with communism and capitilism. It was my understanding that the Germans didn't like the Jewish people because when the world including Germany suffered from the great depression, the Jewish people were able to stay well- off because they owned their own little stores. So the Germans were angry with them and thought that they were the reason every thing was bad with their economy. On the night of broken glass the Germans went to Jewish shops and destroyed them.

What sources of information did the US government have about this persecution and subsequent mass murders?

The persecution of the Jews and others was reported in many places, including the Nazi German press and Nazi German radio, which announced anti-Jewish measures with glee. Ordinary concentration camps (punishment and slave labour camps) were not a secret, either, though precise details of what happened there was hard to come by.

Extermination (which began in 1941) was supposed to be top secret, but information about it reached Britain and America from the Soviet Union and from the Polish Underground. Neither source was treated as trustworthy, at least until mid 1944. Moreover, Jan Karski, one of the top couriers of the Polish Underground had two long face-to-face meetings with President Roosevelt about the plight of the Jews. Roosevelt just kept on saying, 'The guilty will be punished'. (See link below).
