One staff person said there was a laid out ramp area but she did not know what had become of it. My suspicion is that a local builder wanted the stone hardcore underneath the ramp and used an excavator shovel to take it away. I suspect that the original gas chamber site/s were bulldozer cleared and some of the underground area/s filled in. So what you see today is not the whole crematorium area/s but the initial 'underground undressing room area'. This would account for the m2 sq discrepancy mentioned. <BR/><BR/>I clicked on the 2nd link provided by Deborah,thank you, I wish I hadn't because it made me sick for the last 2 days. Like most people I get depressed and angry over the sheer helplessness of these Jewish family detainees. Our respective nations have codes of chivalry, and honour codes protecting woman and children and neutrals. The USA Lendlease, 9-11, and the recent Hudson Bay aircrash staff conduct represents what we believe in. So the Popes reinstatement of this Bishop [Bishop of what - certainly not compassion] is a blow to all fairminded people. Thank you for the replies.FAIIRPLAYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09057410466151320733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10183882.post-76543305812378316792009-02-01T05:55:00.000-05:002009-02-01T05:55:00.000-05:00To Fairplay: write to A-B Museum on their contact ...To Fairplay: write to A-B Museum on their contact page; they'll have the answer to any of your questions regarding the camps there. You might then want to share their answer with this blog.<BR/><BR/>Check out the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum website. Seems an authentic place to start first off.<BR/><BR/>Also, nizkor.org has huge online documentation related to this inhuman endeavor.<BR/><BR/>This might not be the answer you look for, but certainly moves you closer to it.

Yet the ruins you see today are rather *small in area when compared to these photos and amongst the exiting ruins there's no broken roof wood or flooring timber, no broken tiles, pipework, doors, window frames or metal and steel from the crematorium, and the quantity of demolition debris you would normally expect to find from a buildings of this size is not there. Also the visible depth seen looking downwards into the underground - undressing room area is not that deep and appears a lot shallower than you would expect? For the avoidance of all doubt, I state that these are the actual sites of the four notorious 'Birkenau gas chambers' in which 850 000 people [+] died. Does anyone know when, these 4 sites were stripped off all re-usable building materials. It appears these scavengers left what was no use to them meaning a quantity of heavy concrete slabs and broken concrete. All the red bricks have been taken [Q2] In the Auschwitz Album photo it shows in one photo the Birkenau *part-concreted rail-ramp*, yet today there is no raised ramp, or signs of one. This is the photo that shows three Jewish illegally held detainees, waiting to assist passengers being unloaded from a nearby train, it's the same photo that shows the man 'with no trousers' stood amongst the crowd of unfortunates. <BR/><BR/>I'm guessing that after the war numerous Birkenau barracks were taken down by local farmers for livestock use, it's said some were shipped to Warsaw for housing, but did a Polish builder move in and strip the site for building materials and hardcore. Maybe the Russians were responsible for this. Anyone got any answers?FAIIRPLAYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09057410466151320733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10183882.post-42017551367977299842009-01-30T21:00:00.000-05:002009-01-30T21:00:00.000-05:00Some of us have spent lifetimes and thousands of h...Some of us have spent lifetimes and thousands of hours researching and refuting Holocaust denial.

Williamson is so slick and cool. The interviewer clearly doesn't believe him, but he has nothing more specific to say than -- "You are obviously an anti-semite". It is a true statement, but it doesn't *shred* Williamson's argument, as it so richly deserves to be shredded. <BR/><BR/>You have done the shredding. Thanks so much.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09962382552169381869noreply@blogger.com
