A quick google search tells me it takes 1-3 hours to fully cremate a body. But that doesn’t include bone and teeth crushing time.
It’s claimed that 6,000 a day were gassed at Auschwitz, which would be 250 people per hour in 24 hours. That’s including the time to get them in the gas chamber, gassed, clearing the gas and bodies removed. Bringing the number to 4.17 people per minute, and that still doesn’t include cremation and crushing time.
Pictures I’ve seen online shows a gas chamber that doesn’t look like it could even fit 250 people at a time.
And the oven pictures online don’t show more than a few ovens in the same room. Maybe there were other oven buildings.
And every war and Holocaust movie I’ve seen shows different methods of extermination. You’d think the Germans being German would have this down to an exact uniform process, and that movies would also represent what happened accurately.
Can I ask these questions during a concentration camp tour and not get arrested?
The Germans made enough armor-piercing rifle ammunition (not ammunition, not tank ammunition, the very rare and unnecessarily expensive tungsten core armor-piercing rifle ammunition) to shoot every jew 10 times - in the first 18 months of the war.

They could have just shot them.

But in Schindler’s List, they lined them up 8 deep before they shot.
