THE RUDOLF REPORT

GERMAR RUDOLF · THE RUDOLF REPORTthrough the roof. Such a claim is refuted by four facts:1. The steel reinforcement rods would have had to have been removedduring the opening of any holes.2. A border between the old concrete of the ceiling and the fillingmaterial added later would also be visible. The corrosion locationsall indicate a homogenous structure of the concrete.3. These locations would have to be evenly distributed over the ceilingof the original morgue.4. These locations would have to exhibit an even, regular form(round, square or rectangular).Based on all these arguments, it can be concluded with certaintythat at the time of the alleged use of this rooms as a ‘gas chamber’,there were no openings for the introduction of Zyklon B. There is noindication of a former device to ventilate the room either. Furthermore,there was no direct access to the ‘gas chamber’ from the outside. Thevictims would have had to enter through the corpse room (laying outroom), or through the oven room. They would, therefore, have had tofile past the corpses of their already-murdered companions in misery—truly a macabre spectacle. There could be no successful deception ofthe victims and camouflage nor could there be any hope of willing cooperationor acquiescence on the part of the inmates under such circumstances.Or, to put the lack of direct access doors to the ‘gas chamber’in Robert Faurisson’s words:“No doors, no destruction.”5.4. ‘Gas Chambers’ in Birkenau Camp5.4.1.
