Reports Describe Brutal Nazi Atrocities From Camps
A trio of eye witness accounts alleges mass murder in Poland’s extermination camps. The reports claim more than 1.5 million Jews were gassed and cremated at Birkenau and describe overcrowded Cubicles, a cremation and gassing complex, and a mass slaughter machine. A Aryan Polish major claims prisoners were used for blood transfusions and sterilization experiments. Representative Celler calls the stories authentic revolting and unprecedented in scale.
