How many gas chambers to kill people were there at
Auschwitz?
14. How many gas chambers to kill people were there at Auschwitz?
The IHR says:
None.
Nizkor replies:
Wrong, as usual; no evidence, as usual.
There were five "Kremas," each containing, among other
things, an extermination gas chamber and furnaces to cremate the
victims. The first was converted from its original use. The remaining
four were designed as gas chambers from the start.
(For completeness' sake: a talented and well-respected amateur
researcher by the name of
Pressac
believes that the two largest Krema were originally designed to be
morgues and were switched over to gas chambers very early in their
construction. He is in a minority of one in this belief.)
Two other extermination installations were called "Bunker
I" or the "little red house" and "Bunker II"
or "the little white house."
And again for completeness' sake: the first gassing was performed in
the basement of Block 11, and there was also a sixth Krema which never
got beyond the very early planning stages.
