Crematorium II at Auschwitz-Birkenau

This is a virtual reconstruction of the Crematorium II, in Auschwitz-Birkenau. It is an educational project and I'm using a "real time" technology.

I'm a brazilian history teacher and my first goal is allow my students to "walk" in the building, to understand the various objectives of it, and the ways this building - and the whole Auschwitz complex - fits the nazi ideology, the Holocaust, and the WWII context.

I'm using a lot of resources for this project, but the main are the hystoric sources we can find in Pressac ("Auschwitz: Technique and Operation of the Gas Chambers"). Details for the interior of the building are mainly based in
Miklos Nyiszli and his first-hand account ("Auschwitz: A doctor's eyewitness account"), as well as David Olere's paintings.

This movie shows only a small part of the whole bulding. If you want to know more about this project, let me know.

@xXxTheCrazyAngelxXx - I'll translate it to English first (it is in Portuguese, right now) and, then, made it public.

please tell me how you built this... I'm trying to build a model of the entire camp and need the crematorium as well

[nunof]

@100neilpeart wich info do you need? 

[nervonosic]

thank you for this 3D simulation, really nice work :-D

is that little beds in the ss office surely they where not sleeping in there with all that murder going on.......what hell was this

[cabadejo]

Where did you get the information for the benches and coat hooks in the changing room?

The SS office was next to the gas chamber. That was so b/c the SS wanted to be sure that all the Jews were completely dead before being cremated. When there was no more screaming coming from the Jews, the Zyklon B was stopped. The SS went in to check if all the Jews were dead. Then their gold teeth were pulled & stored in the SS office safe. After that, prisoners were called to pick up the dead Jews & throw them into the crematorium oven. That´s why there are no more remains of Auschwitzjews.

It's a very useful model for perspective.

Something few notice is the 'undressing room' size compared to gas chamber size. Clever little nazis. People need space to undress quickly, but less space plus gas means faster death.

The small lift is also another of the denier straw men. You only need to lift bodies when the retorts are ready for them.

Excellent presentation.

they use this on are animals still.. the animals are put into a chamber.. dogs with cats, it makes no matter.. They r terrified and crawl over leash other to get out.. it takes up to 40 minutes for the animals to die.. THEY DO THIS EVERYWHERE.. ANIMALS are put through this in our kill shelters. Kill shelter heads want to keep killing our animals...

@KLresearcher Thanks! Thank you very very much. I made this 3D reconstruction and the video. This comment made my day. :)
