Dear Wilson Lau,
I can only attempt to answer the middle of your 3 questions.
At the very beginning there were not that many killings in the concentration
camps as the prisoners were used for work in building and/or enlarging the
camps.
In Aushwitz eg. the barracs in the ca,p were almost wholly built by the
original Polish prisoners, and they died ONLY from starvation, overwi#ork,
hunger and the beatings. At that time they were just picked up and buried
somewhere convenient.
When the first mass executions started, the prisoners were forced to dig
ditches, stand over them they were then machinegunned thrown into the
ditches petrol was poured over them and they were burned and the ditches
filled in.
Finallly with the mass murders in the gas chambers, just as the killing was
almost automated by the same german firms who today sell to the world
markets, so was the body disposal. The huge crematoria were built and the
bodies burnt in those. Such was the amount of smoke given out by the
crematoria chimneys that all the birds migrated from the area.
