I put these films together during the visit of David Irving to the former Nazi death camp at Auschwitz - Birkenau. The film has not been censored in any way, it is what I filmed, nothing added and nothing edited and that is why it is so amateur. Films here show the entrance to the camp at Birkenau, the railway lines into the camp and reception area, gas chamber two, the sauna building and the red and white houses.  It will be noted that David Irving is not denying that mass murder was perpetrated on this site.

The Red House

The red house was located to the side of the camp. After the destruction of several nearby houses, this house was converted into a gas chamber for the murder primarily of the Jewish population of Europe.
In 1942 the Nazis began to murder people here by transporting them from a railway siding near the camp by lorry to this house.
The bodies were initially disposed of by burial, but the Nazis found that there was a problem with ground water. The kommandant Rudolf Hoess went to Chełmno nad Ner to find out how bodies were there being destroyed by fire. On his return a system of burning bodies in open air hollows was devised.
From testimony given by former Nazi officials it would appear that usually only one gassing per day occurred in this building and that the bodies were left in there for some time - although at peak times there could have been more than one gassing.
After the construction of the gas chambers at the head of the railway line in the spring of 1943 the red house ceased to function for mass murder and it was pulled down.
It is believed that around 100,000 people were murdered on this site, giving a daily average figure of around three hundred deaths.

The White House

The white house is at the rear of the camp behind the sauna building.  It was used for mass murder in 1942 - 1943 and probably was only used occasionally, if at all, once the main gas chambers started to function.  However during the deportation of people from Hungary in the summer of 1944 it was used once more for killing people. This film shows the remains of this building.
