[[Zyklon B]] is a [[cyanide]]-based toxic gas. A modern application of it this substance is as an [[insecticide]]. However, it is also lethal to humans in sufficient concentration. During [[World War II]], the German [[Nazi party]] used Zyklon B to kill millions of people throughout the holocaust. As victims arrived at the death camps, they were divided in two: those fit for work, usually young to middle aged men, or possessed a special skill needed in the camp, and the remainder sent for delousing in the showers. The “showers” was actually a sealed room in which Zyklon B was dropped through a hole in the ceiling. The cyanide-based vapors would kill the entire room within minutes.
