Crematories and Cremations

All – or at least almost all – the remains of the six million murdered Jews are said to have disappeared tracelessly by means of incinerating them in crematories or on pyres. Such cremations are technically more or less demanding and can thus be scrutinized.

Outdoor Incineration of Livestock Carcasses

In assessing the reported cremation of huge numbers of human corpses in German concentration, labor, transit and/or extermination camps during the Second World War, the capacities of the respective facilities – crematories, outdoor cremation pits and pyres, as well as mass graves – are an important factor. Literature on the pertinent crematories is plentiful and…

How might one go about doing this? This is the question that must have been brought to bear on certain high-ranking individuals in the Nazi…

Smoking Crematory Chimney at Auschwitz: A Correction

Eyewitnesses of the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp have frequently testified that thick smoke belched out of the chimneys of the four crematories of that camp. One classic example is the testimony of former Auschwitz inmate Arnold Friedman. While being cross-examined about his experiences at Auschwitz, Friedman stated during the first Zündel trial in 1985:[1] “There was smoke…

The “Extermination Camps” of “Aktion Reinhardt”

Ever since the authors of the present study started publishing, together or separately, thorough studies about the most prominent German camps of the WWII era which are generally referred to as extermination camps, orthodox historians have made it a point to intentionally ignore these studies which they seem unable to refute. This eerie silence ended…

New ‘Official’ Changes in the Auschwitz Story

Since the end of World War II, authoritative claims about the character and scope of killings at the Auschwitz concentration camp have changed drastically. One particularly striking change concerns the various “official” estimates of the number of victims – a number that since 1945 has been steadily declining. Fritjof Meyer Today, more than half a…
