Gassing Operations in the Holocaust
Gassing operations in the Holocaust were pretty gruesome and demented. Nazi's would pick out a group of people who they seemed to be "unworthy of life" and mass murder them by poisoning them with deadly gases. These gases were made with many chemicals along with carbon monoxide.
Nazi's would prepare these "gassings" by sealing the gas in a truck or a van. They called these vehicles "mobile gas vans."
Killing Jews with deadly gas was more cheaper than any other method they used to kill innocent victims. Nazi's mainly gassed the people who were ill and who were Gypsies.
While packing people into the "gas chambers," they would tell the Jews to raise their arms and pack in as tightly as they could. They made them do this because if they held their arms up, they could get more people in the chambers. Also, the more people then the faster they would suffocate. There were at least 6,000 Jews gassed each day.

You explained your information well but you did not have much information. You should have found information relating to this and added a few paragraphs. I would also have liked to have seen a picture to better understand what your writing about. Where did you get this information? I don't see any citation or link to the original article. Also, how does this relate to you? Where did the Nazi's get the chemicals? How did the get away with it and what was their excuse? You have information but you need some more.
