Where gas chambers and crematories really used?
It is common knowledge that gas chambers and crematories did really exist. The question is, "too what extend?'" Deniers of the holocaust do believe gas chambers and crematories did exist, indeed, but to a small extend. They claim the gas chambers were too small to support the common believe that millions people died mostly from the gas chambers. They also state that the crematories wouldn't be able to keep up with demand and volume of bodies. There weren't enough crematories built to handle the number of bodies ready to be cremated.

Could gas chambers and crematories produce enough bodies?
Gas Chambers Evidence
Evidence shows that a large number of people could easily be killed in a short time. First of all, an average sized gas chamber could hold about 800 victims. It took only about 25 minutes to kill the people inside by using Zyklon B gas pellets. Scientists found holes where the pellets were introduced from the top and dropped inside the chambers. The Nazis could reuse the chambers every 4 hour. To continue, if a gas chamber was working every four hours it could easily kill 4,800 people a day. Also, most camps, like Auschwitz for example, had multiple gas chambers located in one concentration camp. Auschwitz had about 5 working chambers, all varying in size, and could have easily in one day reached a number of 24,000 people, too.
Crematory Evidence
Each gas chamber had a crematory built in the same building or near it. According to calculations by the German authorities, at first, 1,440 corpses could be burned in a crematorium every 24 hours. Even though the number of bodies produced by gas chamber was more then the crematories could handle, most of the concertation camp later upgraded. They were capable of disposing of several bodies per muffle in half an hour or so, and they could run for days at a time without maintenance.
