A '''gas chamber''' is an apparatus for killing humans or animals with gas, consisting of a sealed chamber into which a poisonous or asphyxiant gas is introduced. The most commonly used poisonous agent is hydrogen cyanide; carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide have also been used. Gas chambers were used as a method of execution for condemned prisoners in the United States beginning in the 1920s. During [[the Holocaust]], large-scale gas chambers designed for mass killing were used by [[Nazi Germany]] as part of their [[genocide]] program, and also by the Independent State of Croatia at the [[Jasenovac concentration camp|Jasenovac]] [[Concentration Camp|concentration camp]].
