Document 98
[PMO neg. no. 810]
Roof space of one of the
Blocks in the main camp serving as a store for sewing machines
brought to Auschwitz by victims who thought they would be able to go
on practicing their trade there. Faurisson presented this
photograph, taken in 1945, as proof of the existence of a tailoring
workshop in the camp. Unfortunately for him, some of the machines
are damaged and out of order and their arrangement is clearly a
crowding together for storage, not the layout of a
workshop. |
