millions died in the holocaust but most of thier deaths were not sudden.
Firing squads were used to gun down many Jews at a time and then dumped into heaps. Some were told they were being taken to a shower and it was actually a gas chamber. Many starved to death and some were used as guinea pigs for medical testing especially twins.
Answer
Methods of execution included more than gassing and shooting; Jews were killed in a variety of ways. The camp guards “became notorious for their cruelty, trying to outdo each other in devising fiendish methods of killing their victims”. One man froze to death because he was forced to stay in an ice hole until he died. Another victim was hung upside down, completely naked, for three hours until he was killed by the camp guards who used “sticks to force sand down his throat”.

The results of the torture.
I don't know why anybody human would go ahead and kill any living thing let alone torturing the living thing before they kill it. The most famous reason I know is because torturing people gives them adrenaline and the knowledge that they are in power. I wonder how the people who torture living beams s;eep at night.

The photo on this post is very powerful. I am glad to see you using what we studied about the memorials. The quote and link to the torture methods is hair raising, sickening. It would be great, too if you had a link to the page that is cited on your link. Like you, I can't comprehend the mental illness and evil that leads to this.
That Photo it really gets you thinking about what if you were one of those unlucky souls whos lives where controled by someone elses hands. It also makes you feel bad that you couldnt do anything. Plus that video was a almost tear droper I was trying to not cry. That was a great video to show what had happen to the tortued.
When I see your pictures it makes me feel so sad because all those people got killed for nothing.
The photo of that memorial instilled alot of fear and terror into me as i read your reflection i could not get the image out of my head.
