Jews were not killed in incinerators during the Holocaust. They were gassed in showers, shot by firing squad, shot outside of a firing squad, electrocuted, had inhumane experiments performed on them, and succumbed to numerous diseases, but the Nazis did not incinerate live Jews. After killing a Jew by any of the above means, the dead body was then incinerated. It is impossible to know how many Jews were incinerated, but considering how many Jews went into the camps and how many came out, it is likely that half of the Jews killed in the Holocaust (if not more) were incinerated post-mortem.

None. Jews were killed in the gas chambers, by firing squads, by diseases that spread in close quarters, and numerous other horrific situations (the 6 Million). However, by the time that the Jewish bodies were burned in the crematoria, they were already dead. The cremation was done both to insult the Jewish custom of burying the dead and to make it unnecessary to dig graves.
