Also look up the Sonderkommando. They were death camp prisoners tasked with emptying the gas chambers and cremating the victims to "save" the SS from having to do it. When it was their turn in the gas chamber, most of them were reported to be relieved, and there's a story of a Sonderkommando team being warned by another prisoner that they're headed to the gas chamber, and they essentially said "we know. We're the Sonderkommando and this is a mercy for us."
