Zyklon B caused intense pain, which is what led them to gouge out deep scratches in the concrete walls of Auschwitz. Some of the victims were suffering for 20 minutes, since the Nazis were using as little gas as possible to save money and resources so they could kill as many as possible.

You made a stupid post like holy shit I did not expect to see someone making light of the horrors of the Holocaust. Hopefully this is unintentional but don't accuse any genociders of humane executions.

I did not expect to see someone making light of the horrors of the Holocaust

I'm surprised you didn't expect to see that, you're on the internet after all. But I did not make light of the Holocaust, you have misunderstood me.

They did try to make it humane, if alone to make it easier on the executioners. Causing pain and suffering did happen, but it wasn't part of the plan. It was like trying to exterminate rats. You just want them dead, suffering is not necessary. In my option that makes the Holocaust more horrific, not less.
