THE RUDOLF REPORT

GERMAR RUDOLF · THE RUDOLF REPORT86Figs. 24 and 25: Symptoms of decay visible on the interior ceiling of themorgue of crematorium I in Auschwitz Main Camp. After more than 50years, the rusting of the steel reinforcement rods near the surface hasbegun cracking the concrete.

The holes allegedly made in another locationtherefore never existed!The openings in the concrete visible today are neither plastered,nor have the remains of the cut steel reinforcement rods been removedin a professional manner. The holes have been planked with wood and
