GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY<br />

routine. Going from one camp to the other, several times a day, we had,<br />

each time, to go through them.” 41 And “in Buchenwald, everybody had<br />

to go to the showers. Even the sick, who were instructed to go last.” 42<br />

He does not acknowledge, or perhaps he did not then know, that the<br />

clothing given up by prisoners was treated in gas chambers with Zyklon<br />

B, the German substitute for DDT, which was used by the Americans<br />

and British to combat lice and bed bugs.<br />

These gas chambers were designed to hold clothing. Metal cans containing<br />

Zyklon B pellets were opened automatically (with machines, not<br />

manually) to release the gas. Exhaust fans drove the gas out of the<br />

chambers when the cycle was completed and the clothing fully fumigated.<br />

Today such gas chambers can be seen at Dachau where their operation<br />

is described in detail.<br />

But these gas chambers were not homicidal gas chambers; they were<br />

fumigation machines for clothing. Right next to the fumigation machines<br />

at Dachau are two rooms where prisoners disrobed, handing back<br />

their clothes to be put into the machines, and then waited. The third<br />

room is the shower room where, like Wiesel and others have described,<br />

prisoners were given hot showers. In the next room they were given<br />

other clothes that had already been cleaned or at least fumigated.<br />

But the shower room at Dachau has been altered. The ceiling has<br />

been lowered; the shower heads and pipes have been removed or covered,<br />

and phony showerheads have been stuck in the ceiling. The United<br />

States government used to claim that this room was a homicidal gas<br />

chamber where prisoners were murdered on an industrial scale. Today<br />

visitors to Dachau are still told that this is a homicidal gas chamber, but<br />

that it was never used. The question the reader of Night might well ask<br />

is where did Dachau prisoners take hot showers that were part of every<br />

camp’s mandatory hygiene routine as described by Wiesel? Are we to<br />

believe that the Nazis gave Dachau prisoners no showers after getting<br />

them to disrobe and after fumigating their clothes? Why would the Nazis<br />

lower the ceiling in the shower room and stick phony showerheads<br />

into it? Could it be that the Americans modified the real shower room at<br />

Dachau to create a homicidal gas chamber because they had none to<br />

show to the mass media and to the congressional commission visiting<br />

various camps in Germany at that time?<br />
