DATA, COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS, AND REFUTATION OF "HOLOCAUST REVISIONISM": THE CREMATORIUMS IN GUSEN AND AUSCHWITZ-BIRKENAU Prepared by Daniel Keren
Summary: In Gusen
camp, which was a sub-camp of the
Mauthausen concentration
camp, 2 Topf cremation muffles sufficed to
cremate 94 corpses in 20 working hours. Contrast
this with claims by "Holocaust revisionists", who allege that
it would take two, or three, or four hours, to cremate one corpse.
Here are the photographs, the documents, and the figures. Gusen cremation report. Entry for November 7 1941 lists 94 corpses cremated in this small, 2-muffle crematorium during 20 hours. Compare it to the furnaces in one of the five crematoriums in Auschwitz-Birkenau. According to the official estimate of the SS, the 52 Auschwitz-Birkenau muffles could cremate 4,756 corpses in 24 working hours, with a cremation rate higher than Gusen, as so many of the victims were infants and children. These huge crematoriums were fully manned in day and night shifts. It doesn't take much
expertise to realize how many people the SS were murdering in
Auschwitz, if so many furnaces and
stokers were required to dispose of the
corpses; see
Auschwitz-Birkenau labor deployment reports,
listing huge numbers of stokers in the crematoriums:
