When the nazis killed the jews...?

Question

in the gas chambers do you think their death was near enough instant and do you think it was very painful , those poor people xx

Answer 1

I'd like to hope that it was quick. Personally I think that death would have been a relief from the misery they put those people thru. They were experimented on, starved, worked to exaustion, had loved ones ripped from them, even killed in front of them.
One thing I want to point out though, it wasn't just Jews that were killed. Many others were killed just because they didn't fit the profile, or they pissed someone off. Did you know that many gypsies lost their lives too? I lost my maternal grandmother in a death camp. She wasn't a Jew. She was German born but of polish desent, and was in the wrong place at the wrong time. They came and took her in the middle of the night. My aunt hid with her younger 7 brothers and sisters and manged to save them. The irony was that grandpa was a flyer for the Germans.
Anyway, enough history lessons, lol. Best wishes!

Answer 2

I believe "Rebecca" has the most accurate answer.
It was NOT instantaneous. It could last up to 30 minutes, and even then, when they went in to check - after they'd vented the chamber of course - they often had to shoot a couple who survived the gas,
Of the few intact gas chambers left standing at War's end you can still see gouges in the walls and ceilings where people tried to dig themselves out with their fingernails.
Thus, a "Necessary War."
And one answerer was quite correct - although the Jews certainly bore the brunt of Hitler's maniacal hatred, Gypsies, Homosexuals, Communists, the mentally ill or retarded, crippled as well as many other types of people were murdered in the gas chambers. Anyone who didn't fit the profile of the perfect Aryan was fair game. (May God rest their souls.)

Answer 3

Based on some of the testimony elicited at the Nuremburg Trial from death camp workers who ran the gas chambers, a single gassing session continued for about 30 minutes. Operators, however, heard movement behind the door as long as 10, sometimes 15 minutes after the gassing began, so that's how long it took people to die.

Death by suffocation is anything but gentle. Additional testimony indicated that as they were dying, the condemned lost control of their bowels, tore their fingers to shreds clawing at the door and the walls, bit their tongues off, and suffered massive raptures of blood vessels about their face and eyes.

Answer 4

for the duration of the 1920&30's the scientific formula of euugenics grew to grow to be accepted, and grow for use to divide the genticallu stronger from the inferior. usa did the comparable element, attempting to construct a greater useful "race" of electorate with the help of systematically breeding out the inferior. (feebleminded, idiots, retarded etc.) Hitler combiined this eugenics stream with the social and economic trials and tribulations following the German defeat in international war I. besides, the Christian faith had a convention of blaming the full Jewish "race" for the loss of life of Christ. in case you upload up the negatives against the Jews, consisting of the historic fact that many Jews have been committed atheist/Maxists motive on turning socialism/communism into fact (do not ignore the Russian Revolution got here approximately in 1917 after international war I), and it turns into sparkling as to why Hitler used the Jews a s a scapegoat for Germany's dismal fortunes after the war. each and everyone of those issues got here mutually in a "suited hurricane" for Jews, Gypsies, communists, and "inferior human beings" --- the susceptible, retarded, crippled, insane, etc. have been the 1st human beings to be exterminated, then political dissidents, then the Jews....

Answer 5

It was a poisonous gas. Given the amount of oxygen in the rooms when they entered and the brain's ability to survive 4 minutes without air, it was not instantaneous, but was several minutes of terror with no escape.

Be glad you were not a mother trying to save her children under those circumstances. The babies would have died first.

Answer 6

Since the gas had to fill a room I am quite sure that it was not instantaneous, and that their final few minutes were filled with terror and pain; whatever emotional room that may have been left over was probably filled with infinite sadness.

Answer 7

I've never been gassed so I can't say how painful it was but I could imagine the panic and the pain of not being able to breathe regular air.

Answer 8

It is my understanding that it was agonizing,not instant.
