(Photograph by Maître Bernard Joeanneau)
Photocopy of a photograph taken at the Maidenek
concentration camp in June 1979, showing one of the disinfection gas
chambers thought to be a homicidal gas chamber. Between the two
doors with their inspection peep-holes, the darker bricks are of
Prussian blue color, a sign of prolonged use of “Blausäure/ blue
acid”, in other words, hydrocyanic or prussic acid sold as a
delousing agent under the name of “Zyklon-B”. |

German drawing of the new gas
chambers at Maidenek. The building contained 6 large gas chambers
suitable for use with the gas VENTOX, and 12 [8 in reality] smaller
chambers suitable for use with the gas ZYKLON. The drawing is
designated by the Germans as being for the installation of the water
system. The project was not realized. Drawing supplied by the
