During the time the Nazis and Hitler attempting to terminate the Jewish people, these six killing centers were installed: Bernburg, Brandenburg, Grafeneck, Hadamar, Hartheim, and Sonnenstein. Within these centers, you would find small rooms that would be used for gas exposure killings. At the start of the Holocaust, the only resource they knew of to use was carbon monoxide. The Nazis would "constantly searched for more efficient means of extermination" (USHMM).
By September 1941, the Nazis had finally found a new way to fuel their gas chambers. Zyklon B. It was ten times as fast to kill the Jewish people. It had also been a big money saver for the Nazis. When they finally had installed it into their gas chambers, they had killed over 6000 Jews each day at Auschwitz.
This astounds me that people would be okay gassing out people, let alone children. I just found it so interesting that they had more than two or three types of ways to kill off the Jewish people, and I hope you do too.

Well I just learned something new today. I had no earthly idea that the Nazis' used Zyklon B to kill people. I did know that they gassed people though. I think that it is horrible that the Nazis' were okay with that. Killing people is wrong, under no circumstances should that be okay. So I do agree with you. When you really think about it the Nazis' were really smart. They might be horrible people for killing all those people but we have to give them credit. They did figure out how to do that. You did a great job on your post, you just need to elaborate more on your opinion.
