Best Answer

Many Nazi death camps were in Poland. The camps murdered millions of Jews, most in gas chambers. They cremated the human remains. Tens of thousands of metric pounds of human ashes were given to Polish farmers to spread among their fields as fertilizer. The rest were either buried or dumped into nearby rivers.
