Auschwitz, Majdanek, and Jasenovac were retrofitted with Zyklon-B gas chambers and crematoria buildings as the time went on, remaining operational until war's end in 1945



These sites were used to test the best way of exterminating People and Zyclon B was chosen as the best all from their own Mouths and Documentation and those that refuse to believe need Psychiatric help or are Closet Nazis



Bełżec 600,000 deaths



Sobibór 250,000 deaths



Treblinka 900,000 deaths



Lublin/Majdanek 130,000 deaths all from the German? Nazi records

Jehovah's Witnesses 2,500 – 5,000

Boy and Girl Scouts, Clergy, Communists, Czechs, Deportees, Greeks, Political Prisoners, Other POWs, Resistance Fighters, Serbs, Socialists, Trade Unionists, Others Unknown



The six million figure used in the Jewish death toll is an estimate for total lives lost. These Jewish lives were taken by a number of groups, not just Nazis. The six million figure includes Jewish lives lost in other countries as well, not just Germany, and by the various modes of killing, not just camp deaths. Ukrainian deaths were due to Russian and Nazi perpetrators alike, some killed on "acquired" German soil, others killed on Russian soil, some killed outright, others worked or starved to death.



The total Murdered By the Nazis in WW2 was 15 Million including the 6 million Jews



The Nazi Euthanasia Centre at Bernburg operated from 21 November 1940 to 30 July 1943 in a separate wing of the State Sanatorium and Mental Hospital Bernburg on the River Saale It was one of several euthanasia centres run by the Nazis under their official "Euthanasia Programme", later referred to after the war as Action T4. A total of 9,384 sick and handicapped people from 33 welfare institutions and nursing homes as well as around 5,000 prisoners from six concentration camps were killed here in a gas chamber using carbon monoxide gas.

Each extermination camp operated differently, yet each had designs for quick and efficient industrialized killing. While Höss was away on an official journey in late August 1941 his deputy, Karl Fritzsch, tested out an idea. At Auschwitz clothes infested with lice were treated with crystallised prussic acid.



 The crystals were made to order by the IG Farben Dupont chemicals company for which the brand name was Zyklon-B. Once released from their container, Zyklon-B crystals in the air released a lethal cyanide gas. Fritzch tried out the effect of Zyklon B on Soviet POWs, who were locked up in cells in the basement of the bunker for this experiment. Höss on his return was briefed and impressed with the results and this became the camp strategy for extermination as it was also to be at Majdanek.



Besides gassing, the camp guards continued killing prisoners via mass shooting, starvation, torture



The first period of operation in Belzec and Sobibor lasted about three months, in Treblinka five weeks. After this initial phase, those holding key positions in Operation Reinhard decided to introduce "improvements" into the camps so as to increase their extermination capacity. This decision was brought on by Himmler's order of July 19, 1942 that all the Jews in the General Government, with a few exceptions, were to be eradicated by the end of that year.

The main problem was finding a way to speed up the extermination procedure, i.e., increasing the absorption capacity of the gas chambers.

Belzec was the first camp in which large gas chambers were built. The old wooden structure containing the three gas chambers was demolished, and on the same spot a larger, strong building was erected, which was 24 m. Iong and 10 m. wide. It contained six gas chambers. Statements differ as to their size; they fluctuate between 4 x 4 m. and 4 x 8 m. The new gas chambers were completed in mid July.

Oh dear, Fool on the Hill claims:

"Of course, you can't forget the old "the documents exist - they were just destroyed by the Germans as they evacuated the camps"....where's the logic in that?"

But no one says that. There is plenty of documentation, you simply ignore it, or, when faced with, for instance, the actual wording of the Balfour Declaration, declare that you know what really happened and don't need the kind of documents which contradict you.

"Then there are the claims that Jews were being led straight to the gas chambers as they got off the trains - healthy individuals who would have been more suited for work, while diseased bodies piled up all around them. The Germans were meticulous - this would NOT have happened."

No, there are no such claims. The old, the sick, women and children were gassed on arrival. Those able to work were kept and worked to death or became ill and were gassed later. But no one says 'diseased bodies piled up around them' - Mengele, for instance, using his medical expertise to halt a typhus epidemic meticulously had the sick gassed, and their bodies burned, hut by hut, whil the huts were sterilised as they were emptied - the sick were killed to prevent the infection decimating the uninfected but vulnerable - because they were overworkd and undernourished - workers.

The piles of bodies found by the liberators of the camps were left because the Nazi system of industrial murder had broken down. The guards were more occupied with destroying evidence of the gas chambers than with tidying away the bodies of those who had died of disease and starvation.

Read the very excellent 'Denying the Holocaust' by Deborah Lipstadt. .

It would save you from getting so much wrong so often.

No one particular country really did anything to make sure it ended as soon as possible. The British for example thought it was a waste of resources to bomb the camps even after they had received intelligence about what was going to inside, let alone risk their troops to liberate the camps early. If I had to give anyone credit, it would be Denmark for trying to get any Danish Jews out of the camps as soon as possible.

Well...the Soviet Union bore the brunt of the war against Nazi Germany, suffered the most casualties, and killed the most Nazis. They also liberated the largest number of death camps, so I suppose the honor goes to the Soviet Union.

Nobody deserves much credit. Nobody really tried to stop it. It was already rather "successful" by the time it ended as a side-effect of the allies' main goal, the defeat of Germany.

Ending the Holocaust was not the primary directive of the Allies. Stopping Hitler was the main objective. The Soviet Union had the biggest impact on achieving that goal.

Each of the Allies worked hard to defeat the Nazis, and each liberated many of the Death Camps. I'd make a guess that the Soviets liberated more than the US and the British, as the Nazis had more concentration camps in the east than in the west, which would have been on the path of the Soviet army.

Had the British and French not declared war on Germany, the concentration camps would never have existed in the first place.



An uncomfortable truth, to many people, but a truth none-the-less.

There was no holocaust. Prisoners died of overwork and lack of nutrition.
