The train platform was one of the first sights that prisoners saw when they arrived at concentration camps. Even camps that were

When the killers got hold of the Jews, they would lead them to a truck that could contained up to 50 people. Immediately the trucks were full, they would introduce carbon monoxide into the vans.
The Jews died by asphyxiation. After their death the van would be moved into the forest camps were there bodies are deposited.
