Many were killed during the Holocaust. Jews were sent to camp and used as laborers. They were put to work as slaves. They separeated families, Men went one eway and woman were sent the other day. If the German soldiers saw that you were to old to work the would sent them to the gas chambers, right away. Many people were killed in the gas chamber if they were not killed on the spot, by a gun. When being sent to the gas chambers they had to get naked and then enter the doors of the gas chamber and then burned. The ashes would come out through the top and there would be a horrible smell.
