| This rough sketch represents
Leichenkeller 2 of Krematorium II, attached to the western side of
the building. The upper arrow indicates the location of the entrance
for corpses, with staircase on each side of the corpse chute (an
arrangement abandoned when the crematorium was converted into an i
nstrument of extermination). The few steps added at the western end
of Leichenkeller 2 represent part of the access stairway to the
future undressing room. The rectangle at the bottom of the sketch
represents the access to the basement from the north yard, used by
the victims for one week in March 1943, but subsequently reserved
for the use of the SS involved with the gassings. |

Krematorien II and III).
Document produced by Dr. Miklos
Nyiszli in his book “Auschwitz" A doctor’s eyewitness
account” [see Part II, Chapter 2 for bibliographical
details]. The instructions are exactly the same as for the
double-muffle furnaces and an English translation can be found on
