RIGHT: In 1997 the
Simon Wiesenthal Center (SWC) posted the same
photo on its Website captioned: "As these prisoners
were being processed for slave labor, many of
their friends and families were being gassed
and burned in the ovens in the crematoria. The
smoke can be seen in the background." It is
dated "June 0, [sic] 1944."
The smoke is faked.
It's been airbrushed in. There is no smoke to
be seen in any Allied photo taken of Auschwitz
-Birkenau during 1944. It is well known that
crematoria do not emit such smoke. In this ludicrous
and fraudulent artwork the "smoke" appears to
be coming from a fence post.
After this fakery was exposed
on the Web, the SWC cut the ONE LINE in its
caption referring to "smoke," and the altered
photo was replaced with the original.
