To get rid of the bodies the staff killed in the gas chambers, the Nazis used crematories to burn them (The Holocaust).

In the country of Romania, the citizens killed the Jewish people themselves. The Jewish people were desperate for help. They had few resources, few allies, impossible choices, and few people came to their rescue. In Denmark, Jews were protected by the Danish and sent to Sweden for more protection.
