South/north view of the
ruins of the gas chamber (Leichenkeller 1) of Krematorium II, taken
from its southern end. Bottom left is one of the four openings, its
chimney dismantled, through the Zyklon-B was poured. In the
foreground, the roof is resting on a pillar that withstood the
explosion. The black parts of the roof are the places where the
protective layer of concrete has cracked and exposed the layer of
bituminous damp-proofing
