How did the gestapo torture the Jews?

Answer 1

In the World War II era, the German Gestapo (or, secret state police service) was just one of the various German organizations responsible for handling 'the Jewish question' for Germany. In general, the Gestapo's torture methods included a wide variety of physical and mental humiliations and torments. Since its primary responsibilities were the guarding, rounding up, and transporting of Jewish persons 'en masse' to execution centers (including executions themselves), however, its central culpability in respect to the inhumane treatment of Jews is tied to the physical beatings, mental and emotional belittlement, and on-the-spot shootings of Jews caught in these 'round-ups,' rather than in individual torture-methods that the organization's officials utilized in, for example, the treatment of political prisoners.

Answer 2

The Gestapo was focused mainly on gaining information, especially toward the end of the war and their torture methods became more and more violent as time passed. Early survivors reported mainly beatings but later reports included electrical and sexual tortures as well.
