Poison was used on the prisoners for individual deaths. The Nazis also put certain poisons into the dinks and food of the prisoners. They also shot the prisoners with poison bullets.
The Nazis preformed studies on human to see what made twins. They wanted to multiply the German race so the doctors got to work on their studies. They overall experimented on over 1,000 pairs of twins. Of the 1,000 pairs only about 200 pairs lived.
During the time of the Holocaust one of the experiments they did was using Phosgene gas on 52 prisoners. The point of the experiment was to find an antidote against the gas. Four of the prisoners that were exposed to the gas ended up dying.
