Babi Yar and the hundreds of similar tragedies show that the Germans had no trouble killing Jews using more conventional means.
It might have helped but it’s far from a certainty.
- rad_gruchalski 5y agoThat’s right, and 200000 in Warsaw. It’s not certain, however, approximately 1.1 million people died in gas chambers. Let’s not forget about the atrocities of those who were not sent to the gas chamber. It’s all ifs and maybes but maybe the camp would have to be abandoned if mass gassing wasn’t possible.
- samatman 5y agoPlenty of concentration camps didn't have gas chambers. The tools of killing were bullets, disease, and starvation. The Nazis ran out of many things, towards the end of the war. But never bullets. Edit: I have no idea why people are doing the drive by downvote thing here? Maybe you think I'm denying that gas chambers were real? No. I'm saying there were concentration camps without them, where prisoners were mass-murdered as I described above. That statement is not controversial. I don't think destroying the gas chambers would have been enough to stop Auschwitz.
