Well, nowadays, after a body is cremated, the bones, which are extremely brittle once cooked and fully dehydrated, and the other ashes are put into a stainless steel, industrial-grade blender and ground up into a fine powder.
Not sure how it (((alegedly))) worked back then, but my guess is that they used a similar system, similar in that the bones of the people who were actually cremated at the camps were ground up.
And considering all the cremation retorts were designed for single bodies (interestingly with no coffins), the remains of each individual person was probably packaged up some how, and given to still living relatives. But if no one was there to claim the remains, who knows. I bet there are Auschwitz urns out there, sitting on fireplace mantles, or where ever, collecting dust.

Worked in a cemetery. a couple hours at 1865 F turned a body into a bunch of cremains. We still had to grind them into powder. However it was in numerous chunks 2 to 1 in long ish before grinding.
