Houston Chambers

How exactly did the gas chambers work?

I know it's a big "DUR" on my forehead but I still don't know how the gas chambers worked in the holocaust. I know they put a number amount of people in a room.. Or something like that. Correct me if im wrong. So can someone please explain to me how they worked? Did anybody every survive?

1. people in a room seal the room turn on the poisonous gas people fall dead on the ground clean out the bodies send in the next load
2. They put a large number of people into what looked like a large shower room and then closed the door. Then cyanide gas was pumped in through the shower heads. After all were dead the gas was vented and the corpses were removed.
3. That is an interesting question, one I am sure you will get plenty of info on and most of it will be wrong. if you really want to know study the chemicals used and how they are used then take a trip to the "Gas Chambers" in Germany and if you did your homework correctly then you should very easily and by yourself find out exactly what happened and what did not happen in those rooms. they used Zyklon B a delousing agent. so look closely at this chemical and how it MUST be used then compare to they way they said it was used and conclude for yourself Do not believe the stuff people tell you here. STUDY IT FOR YOURSELF USE YOUR OWN BRAIN AND YOU CAN HAVE THE ANSWER YOU WANT WITH OUT SOMEONES OPINION GETTING IN THE WAY Always remember that it is the victors who write the history
4. Well, all victims entered a room that was falsely labeled "Brausebad", meaning showers. they were all fully undressed (making it easier to clear & burn the bodies.), people were handed a bar of soap and towels, to make it appear as if they were really taking a shower. when entering, shower heads were directly above (it wasn't conncected to any water source) after a few minutes, all the doors and vaults are shut tightly, and nazis on the outside of the building inserted Zyklon-B into little slots, airing into the room. once the poisonous gas started entering the room, many people often trampled on top of each other, in order to try to escape the fumes. People died within 5-15 minutes. RARELY, people came out alive. After this, the bodies are sent to the creamatorims.
5. The gas used was Zyklon B. Soldiers dumped it into the room from roof openings.
6. They were all told to take a shower. From there they all took off their clothes walk it one of two sides. Women's shower, or men's shower. Then they closed up the doors. Then dropped an in Zyklon B poison gas. After all the people were dead (usually old, and sick, and young children, anyone that couldn't work) They would clear them out to make room for the next set.
