Gas Chamber: Doors
built 128 days ago
French anti-Revisionist researcher Jean-Claude Pressac reports on this door in his 563-page book, Auschwitz: Technique and Operation of the Gas Chambers (published in 1989 by "Nazi hunters" Serge and Beate Klarsfeld). He provides a photograph of the building in the Majdanek camp, including the door from which the Holocaust Museum casting was made.

A Savannah, Georgia dog survived a gas chamber meant to kill her, after breathing in carbon dioxide for 30 minutes. When workers opened the door, they were shocked to see this dog still alive, although in very bad shape. The dog, named Amazing Grace by shelter workers, was rushed to the a local veterinarian and is being cared for now.

As Pressac correctly notes, this door did indeed close on a gas chamber at Majdanek. However, as he concedes (on pages 555 and 557 of his book), this was a delousing chamber used to disinfest clothing. The only living things killed in this gas chamber were lice.

The chimney, the gas chamber room, the doors, and four of the openings in the roof which had been used to pour in the Zyklon-B were restored. Two of the three ovens were rebuilt. The ovens were not hooked up to the chimney as it was not an operating facility.6

Visitors at the recently opened US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC, will find on display a casting of a door of a supposed extermination gas chamber. This artifact is presented as graphic evidence of the chemical slaughterhouses supposedly used by the Germans to systematically exterminate masses of Jews during the Second World War.

gas chamber door The alleged Nazi gas chamber at the Auschwitz main camp has three doorways. This one appears to be made of thin wood, with a regular latch, and no special seal. It is not obvious what about this door would keep the victims and the poison gas inside the alleged gas chamber.
