It was the "final solution to the Jewish question" as defined by the participants of the Wansee Conference in Jan. 1942....the euphemism for high volume extermination of European Jewry. It lasted until November 1944 coinciding with Himmler's order to destroy the crematoria at Auswitz. The death camps achieved their highest volume during the summer of 1944 where they were topping out at 26,000 deaths per day.
The respectable pharmaceutical firm of IG Farben was supplying the SS 4 1/2 tons of Zyclon-B per month, according to the bills of lading produced by prosecutors at the Nuremburg Tribunals.

Ok...since apparently you are and I'm really not trying to be rude but here to answer your question...

It was during the time of Hitler the German dictator, in the 1930's, he hated the Jews and felt he could create a perfect white class of people. He put the Jews into prison camps and allowed horrible experiments to done on them and he killed millions in gas chambers. The purpose of the experiments were to find the perfect people,but it was done only out of curel hate. His purpose was to destroy them until none were left. There are many good sources you could go to get good information on this awful time. I have watched a lot of History channel on T.V. as well a very good books true stories.One is the Hiding Place, by Corrie Ten Boone.
