Fig. 6 One of three doors from an alleged National Socialist gas chamber for the execution of hundreds of persons simultaneously, using Zyklon B (hydrogen cyanide) (crematorium I, Auschwitz, Poland, early 1940s). This door is neither of sturdy construction, nor is it air-tight (note the keyhole). It is partly glazed and opens inwards i.e., into the room, where corpses were allegedly piling...

Italy, in 1919, Primo Levi was trained as a chemist. In 1944, he was arrested as a member of the Italian Anti-Fascist resistance movement and deported to a concentration camp at Auschwitz, Poland. There, his knowledge of chemistry played a pivotal role in keeping his body as well as his spirit intact, as described in his memoirs. Survival in Auschwitz and The Reawakening. After the war, Levi continued to write until his death in Turin in April 1987. 

It s better than that Bear in mind that they sent the 50 doses, not to Auschwitz in Poland, but to the Buchenwald concentration camp in the center of Germany, where there was no epidemic."... 

The earliest and most important decisions of the War Refugee Board involved Auschwitz. Our first job was to get the doomed out of Poland. "And we ve got to tell the perpetrators we know we ve got to warn them that we know they know and that one day they will be punished." Was this secondary purpose in vain ...

Finally, the Auschwitz State Museum itself ordered an expert report to be compiled. The Institute for Forensic Research, Toxicology Division, of Cracow, Poland, named after Prof. Dr. Jan Sehn, prepared this report under Prof. Dr. J. Markiewicz on September 24, 1990, which confined itself to the analysis of masonry samples.56 The report concluded that the reason why Leuchter s samples from the homicidal gas chambers were mostly negative with respect to traces of cyanide was because the cyanide compounds had been exposed for more than 40 years to weathering, which these compounds allegedly could not have withstood. Three of these authors from the Jan Sehn Institute later published additional findings,57 which were, however, based on a veri-fiably incorrect analytical method—as was the first series of analy-... 

The 1946 Cracow Auschwitz Trial. In 1945, the Jan Sehn Institute for Forensic Research (Instytut Ekspertyz Sadowych) prepared a report on a forensic investigation of Auschwitz that was submitted in evidence in the 1946 Auschwitz trial in Cracow, Poland.74 This expert report should be treated with caution, because forensic examinations and judicial procedures under the Communists have been anything but trustworthy, and in 1945, Poland was a Stalinist satellite. One need only point to the example of Katyn, the Soviet account of which was fully endorsed by Poland s Communist regime.73... 

We are all familiar with the name Auschwitz. Most people could identify Auschwitz as a death camp for the Jews. Many people might be capable of recalling that it was located in Poland. Many would be uncertain of details, but would be at least familiar with the name. In any case, it is a part of modern culture. 

I.G. Farbenindustrie AG factory had a concentration camp in its immediate vicinity by the name of Monowitz, which was connected to the extensive system of more than 30 different Auschwitz concentration camps more than 30 kilometers in Upper Silesia and Western Poland. If the SS had looked for a simpler way to kill millions of Jews, the center of extermination certainly would have been built in the vicinity of Monowitz, with a direct process gas pipeline from the I. G. Farbenindustrie AG factory. 

One can after all understand that these Polish authors made their careers in Communist Poland, and, as Polish patriots, can under no circumstances permit the undermining of Auschwitz as a moral justification for the Polish ethnic cleansing of the East Prussians, East Pomeranians, and Silesians after the end of World War Two, as a result...

Visual assessment of the original laboratory reports at the Auschwitz State Museum, Ausch-witz/Poland". 

Contrary to the photos of the camps in eastern Poland, the photos of Auschwitz (illustrations 5 and following) were taken by the Americans. It took the Allied landing in Italy in autumn of 1943 before the Americans were able to bomb the industrial area of Upper Silesia Allied reconnaissance flights over this area therefore did not begin until the winter of 1943/44.17 However, the corresponding air photos were not submitted to the National Archives by the CIA, and thus made accessible to the public, until the late 1970s. It was also the CIA which published the first photos of Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1979, authored by D. Bmgnioni, R. Poirer.18...
