Auschwitz Death Camp cont.

The Warehouse facility outside of KL Auschwitz 1 that stored the "Zyklon B" chemical which was used to mass murder prisoners of all kinds in the gas chambers.A view from inside KL Auschwitz 1 looking out at the administration buildings of the SS.
If you look at the sign closely it describes the pictured gallows as the execution location of the first Auschwitz Commandant after his capture and trial. This location is less than 10 yards from the first crematorium (left of the picture).
What to say here...A view of the backside of the Crematorium ovens which disposed of up to 350 remains per day each. The ovens were rebuilt from the drawings and pieces left behind by the Germans - they attempted to destroy the all the evidence of their crimes.
The smokestack of Auschwitz Crematorium 1 and the associated facility. There is an infamous quote told to many of the prisoners that the only way out of the camp was through the crematorium chimney.
