Zyklon B


Canisters discovered at Auschwitz that had been used and contained Zyklon B, the hydrogen cyanide gas pellets that were used here in the gas chambers.  The solid pellet would vaporize into a poisonous gas when it contacted the air.  The Nazis would toss them in through shafts in the ceilings of the fake shower rooms that held 600-1500 prisoners.
