Mass Shootings:
In the early stages of the Holocaust, particularly in Eastern Europe, mass shootings were carried out by Einsatzgruppen (mobile killing squads) who executed thousands of Jews, Roma, and others in open fields and mass graves.

Concentration Camps:
The establishment of concentration camps where prisoners, primarily Jews, were subjected to forced labor, malnutrition, and brutal living conditions. Auschwitz, Treblinka, and Sobibor were infamous death camps where millions were systematically murdered.

Medical Experiments:
Gruesome medical experiments conducted on inmates, including sterilization, exposure to lethal substances, and surgeries without anesthesia. Josef Mengele, known as the "Angel of Death," was notorious for his cruel experiments on twins in Auschwitz.

Gas Chambers:
The use of gas chambers as a method of mass murder in extermination camps. Victims were deceived into thinking they were going through a decontamination process before being killed by Zyklon B gas.

Forced Labor and Death Marches:
Forced labor under inhumane conditions, where inmates were subjected to exhausting work and often left to die from malnutrition and disease. Death marches were also organized, forcing prisoners to march for long distances under brutal conditions.

Dehumanization and Discrimination:
Systematic dehumanization through the imposition of discriminatory laws, such as the Nuremberg Laws, which stripped Jews of their rights, property, and citizenship, and the wearing of yellow Star of David badges.
