  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

It was used in some Auschwitz showers instead of Zyklon B.

Alright let's stop it here.

Btw there weren't any gas showers, they were put into huge slaughterhouses that were then filled with Zyklon B.

Idk where the myth of the shower comes from.

spoilerGuards told them they would be taking showers to get them to go willingly and remove their clothes (easier than doing it after they're dead).

Or so I've heard, anyway.
