The main method of killing was the gas chamber because it was quick and killed a lot of people at once.
By the end of holocaust the death toll included about six million jews.

Methods of Mass Murder
mass shootings, gas chambers
The Einsatzgruppen was a Nazi mobile killing unit
Zyklon B and car exhaust was used in Gassing Chambers and Gassing Trucks.
Gassing trucks were mobile that pulled up into town and gassed the Jews on the way to an Unknown destination
Exhaust from the engine was piped into the chamber and the Jews suffocated to death.
Between 1939-1941 about 17,000 Jews were gassed.
About 15 gassing trucks were used by the Einsatzgruppen for more "humane" methods of murder.
Jews were captured and forced to dig a large ditch. They were lined up and shot into the hole.
In total about 3 million Jews were murdered in a gas chamber/ truck
137,346—is the number of Jewish casualties by one Einsatzgruppen group... in a five month time span...in one area!!!!
The Nazi party bought Zykon B in the form of crystals. When the crystals became in contact with the air, it lets off a deadly gas. The Jews would suffocate to death in about 3-15 minutes.
The corpses would be transported into the Crematoria
Gassing was developted for the single purpose of massacuring Jews, Roma(Gypsies), Poles, Russians, people with disablilities, Slavic, Communists, Socialists, Jehovah's Witnesses, and homosexuals effectively,quickly and as secretly as possible.
Zyklon B was used in Auschwitz and Majdanek.
Zykon B was originally made as a Pesticide by a Jewish man that had evacuate Germany.

Some of the methods of killing the nazis used included gas chambers, dragging people along the camp roads, drowning people, bathing them to death (put them in ice cold water and let them slowly die) They hung them on trees, they threw people down stone quaries, they beat them to death, they also used heart injections.
