Northern corner of Krematorium I,
present state. The building on the right was that housing the SS
hospital of the camp. The first floor windows afforded a direct view
down onto the roof of Krematorium I, and hence on the SS-men pouring
Zyklon-B through the traps during gassing. At such times it was
forbidden to look out of the windows. The proximity of these
buildings led to the southwest part of the crematorium being
converted into an air raid shelter for the SS hospital in September
1944. |
