J. GRAF, T. KUES, C. MATTOGNO, SOBIBÓR 263 “About 500 m to the west of this chapel [near the main railroad] the pioneering commando erected the gas chamber building: a small solid building with a concrete foundation. The inside of this building was divided into three adjoining gas-proof cells measuring 4 × 4 m. Each cell was equipped with an air-raid shelter door in each of the opposite external walls, one for entrance to the cell, one for pulling out the corpses.” Rückerl adds that the gassing engine was placed in a special annex (Anbau) according to the Holocaust historiography to this building. According to Yitzhak Arad: 789 “The first gas chambers erected in Sobibór were in a solid brick building with a concrete foundation. They were located in the northwest part of the camp, more isolated and distant from the other parts of the camp than in Beec. There were three gas chambers in the building, each 4 × 4 meters. The capacity of each chamber was about two hundred people. Each gas chamber was entered through its own separate door leading from a veranda that ran along the building. On the opposite side of the building, there was a second set of doors for removing the corpses. Outside was a shed in which the engine that supplied the carbon monoxide gas was installed. Pipes conducted the gas from the engine exhaust to the gas chambers.” The reader of this unambiguous description may get the impression that the eye witness testimonies concur on the characteristics of this building. Let us therefore take a look at the actual statements left by those who in their work as members of the camp staff supposedly observed it on repeated occasions or on a daily basis. As the first commandant of Sobibór, Franz Stangl was present during the camp’s construction and the beginning of the alleged gassings. Since he was transferred to Treblinka in early September 1942, he would not have been able to observe the second phase gas chambers, thus excluding the possibility of confusion between the two buildings. When interviewed by Gitta Sereny in a Düsseldorf prison in 1971, Stangl, as we have already said, recalled that the first gas chamber building “was a new brick building with three rooms, three meters by four.” 790 This is also consistent with a statement made by Stangl two 789 790 Y. Arad, op. cit. (note 49), p. 31. Arad’s description is apparently based on that of Adalbert Rückerl, who in turn is reiterating and quoting the 1966 verdict from the Hagen Sobibór trial; cf. A. Rückerl (ed.), op. cit. (note 36), 163 G. Sereny, op. cit. (note 357), pp. 109f.
264 J. GRAF, T. KUES, C. MATTOGNO, SOBIBÓR years earlier, which describes the same building as a “stone construction.” 791 The former SS-Unterscharführer Erich Fuchs, who supposedly installed the gassing engine, testified: 792 “Upon my arrival at Sobibór I found near the station an area with a concrete structure and several permanent houses.” It is apparent from the context that the “concrete structure” is identical with the alleged gas chamber building. One notes that, while Stangl places the gas chamber building a considerable distance from the railway station and isolated “back in the woods,” 760 Fuchs claims the same installation to have been located in an area “near the station” together with other buildings. This contradiction, however, is small compared to that revealed by the testimony of alleged “Gasmeister” Erich Bauer: 793 “The gas chamber was already there, a wooden building on a concrete base about the same size as this courtroom, though much lower, as low as a normal house. There were two or three chambers, in front of which there was a corridor that, from the outside, you accessed via a bridge.” Thus the witnesses disagree on the very construction material of the first gas chamber building! How do mainstream Holocaust historians handle this glaring contradiction? As seen above, Arad simply ignores the statement of the key witness Bauer, while combining the descriptions of Stangl and Fuchs into “a solid brick building with a concrete foundation.” Schelvis, on the other hand, finds it necessary to confront Bauer’s testimony. In the German edition of his Sobibór book, published in 1998, we read: 794 “Bauer was mistaken about the wooden building. It was a solid brick house.” For some reason, however, Schelvis had completely changed his mind about this issue by the time the English language edition of the same book appeared in 2006. In this we read: 795 791 792 793 794 795 Statement made by Stangl in Duisburg on 29 April, 1969, ZStL-230/59-12-4464; quoted in J. Schelvis, op. cit. (note 71), p. 33. Statement made by Erich Fuchs in Düsseldorf on 2 April 1963, ZStL-251/59-9-1785; quoted in J. Schelvis, op. cit. (note 71), p. 100. Erich Bauer in Hagen on 6 October 1965; StA.Do-X’65-176, quoted in J. Schelvis, op. cit. (note 71), p. 101. J. Schelvis, op. cit. (note 70), p. 119 and p. 120, note 285. J. Schelvis, op. cit. (note 71), p. 114, note 17.
