Brief info of Zyklon B

Zyklon B was a deadly modified pesticide used by the Nazis for the gas chambers. It is a modified form of hydrogen cyanide to be easily transported in canisters. It can be obtained from pits of fruits such as cherries, apricots, and apples. These pits emit this hydrogen cyanide slowly. 100 grams of crushed apple seeds can yield about 70 mg of hydrogen cyanide. Zyklon B provided the Nazis with an extremely effective genocide weapon which claimed millions.
