The National Socialist party transformed Germany and much of Europe into a fascist totalitarian state, responsible for World War 2 and the extermination of 6 million Jews. To incarcerate their racial opponents, the Nazis created 20,000 concentration camps. By 1941, up to 6,000 prisoners a day were sent to gas chambers in Auschwitz, which were disguised as shower rooms. There, a highly toxic insecticide called Zyklon B was unleashed, asphyxiating the prisoners within minutes. Guards would then remove the dead prisoners’ hair and gold fillings. The hair was used to make rope, and the gold was deposited in an SS bank account. German physicians also carried out deadly human experiments at the camps. Prisoners were submerged in icy waters for 5 hours until they froze to death, injected with tuberculosis and malaria, sterilized, and they also underwent nerve and limb transplants without anesthetic.
