The size of the gas chambers varied and was geared to the size of the crematoria.
The capacities were as follows (per 24 hours):
- Crematorium I (abandoned as too small) - about 340 people
- Crematoria II and III - up to 2,500 people in one session
- Crematoria IV and V - up to 1,500
The capacities were limited only by the capacity to dispose of the bodies, the chambers could be re-used within about four hours. During most of the Holocaust the SS had more 'gassing capacity' than it needed.

What did Auschwitz look like before the Holocaust?
There are actually two prison camps- Auschwitz 1 and Auschwitz Birkenau. Auschwitz 1 was formally a soldier barracks, and so looks mildly 'normal' it has rows of houses, streets etc but with walls, barbed wire and towers. However, there is a gas chamber there which is rather horrific. Auschwitz Birkenau was the larger, purpose built camp- it is unbelievably massive. You enter through the main gates and their are literally sheds as far as the eye can see. Blown up gas chambers at the end from where the Germans attempted to hide the evidence.
