4.1. Introduction
4. Detailed Study of Crematorium II
In the spring of 2004, Daniel Keren, Jamie McCarthy, and Harry W. Mazal
published, as part of the Holocaust History Project, an article entitled “The
Ruins of the Gas Chambers: A Forensic Investigation of Crematoriums at
Auschwitz I and Auschwitz-Birkenau.” 1 In that study, the authors deal with
the alleged openings for the insertion of Zyklon B on the roof slab of underground
morgue 1 of crematorium II at Birkenau and of the morgue of crematorium
I at Auschwitz. To the second part of their “forensic investigation” on
crematorium I of the main camp I have dedicated the previous chapter 3 in this
volume, in which I have demonstrated that the claims of the authors are completely
inconsistent.
In the present article, I shall examine the thesis brought forward by the authors
regarding morgue 1 of crematorium II.
Before we go into the matter itself, it must be stated that the authors have
not mentioned, even in passing, my article “No Holes, No Gas Chamber,” 2
which is the most detailed revisionist study of this topic to date. They have
preferred to bypass my evidence and my arguments which, therefore, retain
their full demonstrative force.
Obviously, the authors’ decision to remain quiet about my article is a conscious
and easily understandable move, just as their decision to remain quiet
about Charles D. Provan’s text “No Holes? No Holocaust?” 3 – which is still
the most serious treatment of this question on the Holocaust side – although in
this case their motivation was different: they wanted to take advantage of Provan’s
observations convenient to their thesis and at the same time shun his
criticisms of the official thesis.
