The Leuchter Report: Indeed, a water reservoir in Auschwitz I (the main camp) was
converted to a swimming pool which was used by the camp's staff.
Other means of entertainment for the SS personnel existed - a band
composed of prisoners, and a brothel (which some prisoners were
permitted to use). How this "proves" that
Auschwitz was not an extermination center is beyond the author of
this text.

There was a swimming pool in Auschwitz, hence it could
not have been an extermination camp.
