17 (below)and 23 (above) were taken at the Auschwitz “Bauhof”
(“builder’s yard” for new and recuperated building materials) and
show recto and verso of a gas-tight door which certainly belonged to
a homicidal gas chamber in one of the four Birkenau Krematorien. The
proof of its criminal use is the presence of a heavy hemispherical
grid PROTECTING THE PEEPHOLE ON THE INSIDE. |
