The White House Auschwitz Birkenau

The White House at Auschwitz Birkenau was one of the first buildings in which gassings took place before the large purpose-built chambers were constructed. This video shows the ruins of the White House, where the bodies were cremated (in the open) and where the ashes were scattered.

Please take a look at Video History Today http://www.videohistorytoday.com , the first web site to offer unique collections of re-usable original video clips designed for teachers and students.

The idea behind Video History Today is to give schools the raw material to make mini-documentaries and video essays on historical subjects.

Initial packages focus on World War I (Somme and Ieper areas), The Holocaust, the American Civil War and D-Day & Normandy 1944.

@stalkervision And Leuchter's 'evidence' has been proven to be completely wrong. He got his samples analysed but didn't understand how to brief the scientists he used properly. Cyanide does not penetrate brickwork in the concentrations exposed or the time conditions that existed in the gas chambers. Post sondercommando evidence? How exactly on YT? Just Google the subject yourself. Read survivor books.

@stalkervision "No gas tight doors,no proper ventilation systems for clearing the gas and no proper equipment and clothing for handling the bodies and cremating the numbers involved. " Errr, yes there was. Diagrams showing the doors, the ventilation systems etc were found in German records. Just because they were removed and do not exist inplace today doesn't mean they weren't there in the first place. And why did the Germans dismantle the 'delousing' chambers agin? I missed your answer.

@stalkervision Unfortunately all the analysies you refer to have been discredited (ie Leuchter had no idea what he was doing). The amount of ZB needed to kill humans in an enclosed place is quite small and the walls inside the chambers were hosed down repeatedly by the sondercommando (loads of testimony on this). Cyanide does not penetrate brickwork but sits on the surface and so regular washing meant the measurable concentrations 60 yrs on is negligble.

Looking at this almost pastoral setting, it is difficult to envision what happened here-- the enormity of the crime.
