The reply above is an example of Holocaust denial. See our page debunking many deniers’ lies. stopdenial.auschwitz.org The claim that cremating the victims of Auschwitz would have taken “a hundred years” is based on two fundamental errors: treating the Auschwitz crematoria like modern civilian crematoria and assuming that every body was burned in a furnace. Auschwitz did not have simply “four ovens.” There were five crematoria buildings with a total of 52 cremation muffles, including 46 in Birkenau. Crematoria II and III alone contained 15 muffles each. Nor were these facilities operated according to modern civilian standards. The SS used them continuously, without coffins and without separating individual remains. The furnaces were kept at operating temperature for extended periods and were used under conditions designed to dispose of bodies as rapidly as possible. Most importantly, we have an original SS document dated 28 June 1943 in which the Auschwitz Central Construction Office calculated the theoretical combined capacity of all five crematoria at 4,756 bodies per 24 hours. Whether this figure could be maintained continuously is a separate technical question, but it demonstrates how far removed the actual installation was from the “one body every two hours” assumption used in denial calculations. And the furnaces were not the only method used. Before the large Birkenau crematoria were completed, the SS exhumed tens of thousands of bodies from mass graves and burned them on open-air pyres. During the deportation of Hungarian Jews in 1944, when the number of murdered people exceeded the practical capacity of the crematoria, large outdoor burning pits were again used near Crematorium V and Bunker 2. These burnings are documented not only by eyewitness testimony but also by the clandestine photographs taken by members of the Sonderkommando in 1944 and by other contemporary evidence.
