THE RUDOLF REPORT

GERMAR RUDOLF · THE RUDOLF REPORTCamp (see chapter 5.3.), and in view of the fact that there is no documentaryindication of a criminal use of these rooms, we must concludethat there is no credible proof, and no “criminal trace”, in support ofthe claimed existence of homicidal ‘gas chambers’ in Auschwitz.Considering these facts, it can not really come as a surprise that finallyeven the mainstream historians and media are taking notice ofthem: In May 2002, Fritjof Meyer, a senior editor at Germany’s largest,left-wing weekly magazine Der Spiegel, stated in an article thatdocuments and witness statements regarding the alleged gas chambersin the crematoria II and III of Birkenau“rather indicate that attempts were made in March and April of1943 to use the mortuary cellars for mass murder in the early summer of1943.
