There were several methods:
-- Starvation
-- Medical experiments
-- Gassing (First with carbon monoxide, and later with zyklon b)
-- Death marches (Prisoners were literally forced to march or run until they either died of exhaustion, or fell and were trampled to death by others)
-- Mass shootings
These are the most notable methods.
They were shot, experimented on by cruel doctors, burned alive, and killed by disease.
But the largest number of Jews were killed by gassing, with the use of an industrial pesticide called Zyklon-B.
They were lured into large chambers, usually between 50-200 at a time. Once the doors were locked shut, a Nazi would climb onto the roof of the chamber, and pour Zyklon-B into pre-cut holes. Once exposed to air, the pesticide would give off toxic gasses, killing the majority between one and two minutes of exposure.
The Nazis would sometimes use musical prisoners to play loud music around the gassing chambers, to cover the screams of the dying.
