"The first line indicates that in the basement of Krematorium II, "Raum I, Leichenkeller / Room I, corpse cellar" was fitted with:
· “16 Lamp o. Kug, u. Tel. Feuchtsicher / 16 lamps other than globes, waterproof” and
· “5 Zapfhühne / 5 taps”.
The second line shows that “Raum 2 / room 2”, idem. [Leichenkeller] was fitted with:
· “10 Lamp o. Kug. u. Tel. Feuchtsicher / 10 lamps other than globes. waterproof”
· “3 Zapfhühne / 3 taps”,
· “4 Drahtnetzeinschiebvorrichtung / 4 wire mesh introduction devices” and
· “4 Holzblenden / 4 wooden covers.”"
Krema II had the devices in "room 2".
You need to show which gas chamber they were referring to. Kremas I, IV, V and the farm house/bunker gas chambers have no record of mesh columns.2) Shaul Chazan:
Filip Muller[Greif] Did the grid column through which the gas was dropped reach all the way down to the floor?
[Chazan] Nearly to the floor. One had left a space which made it possible to clean there. One poured water out and brushed up the remaining pebbles.”
G. Greif, Wir weinten tränenlos… Augenzeugenberichte der jüdischen “Sonderkommandos” in Auschwitz, Böhlau Verlag, Cologne/Weimar/Vienna 1985, p. 237.
When some room had been made behind the
door, the corpses were hosed down. This served to neutralize any gas
crystals still lying about, but mainly it was intended to clean the dead
bodies.
