The Silence After The End | Destruction (Nazi Doctors Documentary) | Timeline

When the Red Army entered the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp on January 27, 1945, they found the four crematoriums dynamited to erase all traces of their crimes, the Nazis had dismantled the facilities and blown up the changing rooms, gas chambers and the ovens in which more than a million prisoners were held, the vast majority of them Jews, were exterminated by the Sonderkommando x' those special teams of prisoners selected by the SS were forced to operate the crematoriums, these were the first victims of the Nazis eager to eliminate All witnesses but some of the Sonderkommando survived the massacres and four of them testified in court over the following weeks and months.

Several Yiddish manuscripts were found buried under the ashes around the crematoriums. These manuscripts were written while the events were happening and the testimonies given in the following weeks reveal the modus operandi of the final solution how the extermination process was carried out in Auschwitz you liebherr give FINA a diabolical impulse do you find it one of these writings give a tail to the Hebrews? I report only an infinitesimal part, a minimum of what has happened in this hell that is surely Birkenau. I do not know if I will believe that I will read these lines again after the storm, but I will be happy if my writings reach you, free citizen of the world.

Everything that is written here I have personally experienced during my 16 months of special zonder Arbeit. Work my Cleburne EMSA, you, my accumulated anguish after a stinging pain. Oy, delight my atrocious sufferings. I have been able to express them in writing only due to known conditions. Me, the dog of Blois, hello, me, the undersigned, the doctor. Nice doctor from Lima cloche, former prisoner. from KZ eleven number to eight four five zero I declare that I have written the position of the step according to strict reality, free from all passion and without the slightest exaggeration, while I witness an involuntary participant in the work of the Auschwitz crematoriums as chief doctor of the Auschwitz crematoriums.

I have to provide medical care to the crematorium's SS personnel as well as the Sonderkommando. There are about eight hundred and sixty prisoners. My name is Dragon Lama. I was born on March 19, 1920 in the Roman district of Seir. Pets, single, son of Daniel and Malka Beckerman both deceased tailor of profession of Jewish religion nationality and Polish citizenship residing in media zero before my arrest my name is Henrik Talbert I was born on July 8, 1917 in avoid single of Jewish religion nationality and Polish citizenship Boot driver by trade My name is Silver Fine Alta I was born on October 23, 1910 in Stoical I am an atheist single waiter of Polish nationality I arrived at Auschwitz by train on December 7, 1944 two thousand five hundred Jews men women and children of everyone from the maleva ghetto this transport was received at the station by the lager Fiera pluggy the rapport Polish Fuhrer and the camp doctor Mengele already at the station they made a selection dividing us into two groups the women and children in one group the men in the other of the group of men chose 400 I was in this group they took us to the Birkenau camp on foot then you Fenian lardo in the beer canal the cumin when I arrived here at the Birkenau camp there were already some buildings in the muddy fields and they were building more, it was December 10, 1942, there was no consortium as soon as we entered after the selection of a convoy of 2300 people, they chose only 500, the rest immediately went to be gassed.

I'm glad I'm Cintiq, we didn't fulfill his obligations, although we did. I still don't know anything about it, we still have to since the winter, the thickness of the postman's SS egg, we were running around chased by the clubs of the SS guards until we were absolutely unable to think about ourselves, so it's a push, therefore, Nunes usually, if not one. None of us knew what he was doing or when or how or what was happening to him. We felt completely lost like automatons who ran pursued without knowing where to run or why or what to do.

I am sure that at that moment none of us were living or thinking or considering that is what they had made of us Zoe what man four nuns went out on the night of December 9, 1942 polishing the flag of the shopping center and Seavey together with the makers of Arby's Einsatz arrived at block 14 of the shopping center announced that they were going To choose workers for the rubber factory, we each went up to their shopping center, we asked each one about their profession, we examined him and if he was strong and healthy, we directed him to the group that, according to what they said, was to work in the rubber factory, my brother and I declared that we were professional tailors and we were sent to this group the next morning after all the commandos had gone to work.

Maul arrived at Block 14 and gave the order to wake up the Sonderkommando. This is how we knew that we belonged to a Sonderkommando and not to the command assigned to work in the rubber factory. We did not know what this Sonderkommando was since in two commands life lasts approximately four months. After this period, one fine day a company of the SS and gathers all the men of the command in the backyard of the crematorium a burst of machine gun fire and half an hour later news arrives under command they strip naked they are murdered comrades and an hour later there is nothing left but a small pile of ashes the first The job of each Sonderkommando team is to cremate their predecessor.

The day after our arrival at the crematorium, the SS unterscharführer, whose name I don't remember, gave us a speech, said that we were going to do unpleasant work, but that we had to get used to it and After a while he would no longer cause us any difficulty, he spoke in Polish at no time. In his speech he said a single word about the fact that we would be employed in the cremation of human corpses. He ended his speech with this order: Dr. loss and bite. He went to work hitting us on the head with a riding crop.

I was assigned to crematorium five in Birkenau with six other Jews and two Poles in July 1943, a time that already existed for kamatari um in Birkenau kamatari um 1 and 2 with 15 ovens each for 5000 corpses and crematoriums 3 and 4 with 6 ovens each for 3,000 burned corpses per day. In total, about 8,000 corpses could be burned per day in these four crematoriums. There were two shifts, the first from 7:00 in the morning to 5:00 in the afternoon and the second from 5:00 in the afternoon to 7:00 in the morning. After finishing my visit to the SS I go up to the Sonderkommando barracks there I have to attend to some wounds and burns.

These are common organic diseases. They are not frequently found among the men of the Sonderkommando because they have clean beds and clothes and their food is good, you could almost say. Excellent, they are all young people chosen for their strength and good physical constitution. On the other hand, there are many nervous diseases. It is terrible to know that here your brothers, your wives and children, your elderly parents, all their lives, every day people die, they drag thousands of corpses to the crematorium and They carry them with their own hands into the incineration ovens. This causes deep depression and often neurasthenia.

On my visits there is always someone who calls me aside and begs me to give them a safe. The poison is quick. The four arts are profoundly English pounds. , they are on their way, everything is suspended, tense, the murderers give their last orders and our gaze turns to that place, that point of the night from where the sound of the trucks approaches, they are still waiting. echo she boned now the victims have seen the truth in their naked reality then Amos the vehicles and everything is being driven to death they feel that their last hours near the movie will soon come to an end and they purr nervously around their eyes wandering in each direction they look for something in the world they try to grab one more mite to imbibe it before they die the trucks have stopped the hearts have frozen there are the victims terrified helpless resigned and dejected their eyes taking the place the building in which they live their world Their young, throbbing bodies will soon disappear forever.

They throw to the ground everything they have brought for the trip. They no longer want or need anything. They allow themselves to be pushed out of the trucks without resisting and they fall as if fainting, cutting corn into our arms. Here, take me from this. hand, dear brother, and lead me along the last stretch of the road from life to death. Every afternoon around 7, I have become accustomed to seeing a truck pass by the entrance door of the crematorium with 70 or 80 men and women destined to be eliminated these are the people selected daily by the constant ROTC possesses lager they come from the cabins and from the hospitals they have been prisoners for several years or several months at least so that they know with certainty what awaits them when the truck between the yard fills up of horrible screams and screams of death, they know that at the foot of the crematorium chimneys there is no longer any hope of salvation.

I do not want to attend this daily scene, so I normally move to the farthest corner of the crematorium patio. I sit in a small spruce arbor where the sound of shouts and the crack of revolvers is muffled. The truck stops not far from the windows. The occupants are very quiet. I conclude that they have been chosen not from the cabins but from the hospitals. They are all seriously ill. They do not have the strength to scream or to get off the truck bed. The SS guards shout restlessly. They pressure them to get off. No one moves.

The driver begins to lose. patience, he sits behind the wheel and starts the engine without moving, the front of the huge dump truck begins to rise little by little and remove the occupants at once, the victims have been introduced into the incineration chamber and placed in front of them . the obersturmführer in most camps spins a barrel nowadays he is the killer on duty standing near the ovens with a rubber glove he has a firm grip on his weapon the bodies collapse one after the other, each leaving room for the next one after a few minutes he is shot down and this is his usual expression the 80 people half an hour later have been incinerated give antlers dotted with atomic transport as each convoy arrived the hope char Fuehrer shopping center the host LF a bank used to leave to take revenge cross your arms to give a very The short speech denies the divine window of the arch, that means I'm about to arrive.

Michelle fernandel talen in some dust sir, you go to the shower, then come back here to distribute the work and then, if anyone doubted the truth of your words, you spanked them. Causing terrible chaos and commotion to disorient people, the oberscharführer was often forced to be there when the trucks arrived, standing near the locker room door to touch the genitals of each young woman who passed naked into the gas chamber. There were also cases where SS men of all ranks stuck their fingers into the genitals of beautiful young women. Pregnant women were shot as soon as they arrived at the camp.

If the pregnancy had not been discovered, the mother could give birth but secretly and of course she had to lose her baby or else she lost her life with the child she is a field of Ranga Evolvin mitten helm tog Zechs se asked Aisha Engli an old man himself a senior student in the middle of the day they brought in 600 young Jews between 12 and 18 years old, all dressed in the striped uniform of the camp all very thin and ragged, with shoes or clogs of wood, the children look so beautiful, so bright, so well formed, they dazzled with their rags, they were led away by 25 heavily armed SS guards, once they were in the yard, the head of the command ordered them to undress in the yard.

The children had seen the smoke from the chimney and once they realized that they were being led to their deaths we do not have the courage we do not dare to tell our dear sisters to undress because of the clothes they wear or their armor the cloak on the that their life still resides from the moment they take off their clothes and remain naked they will lose their last defense their last support the last morning to which their life is anchored that is why we did not have the courage to tell them to undress sooner than to stay a moment More time and moment more time inside this armor, this mantle of life has been dr.

Hosoi, you already know, adorned in unison with Laden, nervous, come to me as a toy for you. I'm still very young. I still haven't enjoyed life at all. Why do I deserve such death? Why does a woman tear her hair and rave when I? Come closer to her I hear these words only you beasts jumped there - where are you my love why don't you come to me after all I am young and beautiful they know and understand that we are victims as they speak because their hearts are overflowing and before they die They want to confide their pain to a man who is still alive.

One of us separated, he could not control himself anymore and burst into tears. Each of us wants to know if his husband, the thought of his father, attracted them instead of his lover. He is still alive or if his body is still alive. in some place dead as a stone if the flames are already devouring it there is no trace left and if she herself was left alone in the world with her unhappy son already orphaned if so, what is the point of living? why stay alive bravely she asks with a reckless voice tell me brothersHow long does it take for death to come is painful oh gentle with a certain peak and a resigned feeling England an eight year old girl undresses her one year old brother a member of the commando approaches go away, Jewish murderer, do not touch my charming little brother with your bathed hand in Jewish blood now I am his good mother, he will die in my arms with me some women rush towards us as if they were drunk with love, they throw themselves into our arms. and they beg us they want to forget everything so as not to think about anything they are not allowed to idle for long the murderous beasts soon make their presence felt the air is filled with the screams of drunk criminals and they rush to satisfy their bestial eyes thirsty for the nakedness of my beautiful and dear sisters the town blows the rain on your back your heads everywhere your clothes quickly fall to the ground some are ashamed I would like to disappear anywhere so as not to expose your nakedness here there is no corner to hide in your modesty there is no longer morals and ethics go to the grave together with life an order SSN Sonderkommando sounds harshly they have to leave the room and they come out and count their numbers the doors are closed and the lights are turned off from outside at this precise moment the noise of a car is a luxury car marked with the International Red Cross an SS officer and a non-commissioned officer from the medical department get out, the latter carrying four green cans walks on the grass where short concrete chimneys emerge from the ground every 30 meters after putting on a mask antigas removes the lid of the chimney, which is also made of concrete, opens one of the cans and pours its contents, a granular substance in motion into the opening, the substance is a cyclone or chlorine in granulated form that produces gas upon contact with air, the substance falls at the bottom of the chimney without dispersing and the gas it produces escapes through the perforations and in a few moments it fills the chamber full of prisoners in 5 minutes he has killed them all in stillness Kate Thunder did not hear this game treated with steam in the relief Silhouette aliens leveling and fighting in the

silence

of the night you hear footsteps talking gas sushi in the moonlight appear the two silhouettes who put on their masks to Pour the lethal gas.

They carry two metal containers that will kill the thousands of victims below. They resolutely approach each hole in the underground bunker. They pour out the gas and replace the heavy lid to prevent the gas from escaping through the openings. A deep moan rises. of the mass of people now fighting against death 2,500 lives and more lives dead like stones the ventilation devices evacuate the gas from the chamber quickly but a small amount still remains in the cracks between the dead and between the doors this causes a cough suffocating even several hours later, for this reason, the Sonderkommando group, the first to enter the chamber, are equipped with gas masks, the room is again brightly illuminated, then a horrible scene appears before their eyes, the corpses They are not scattered throughout the chamber, but piled up. up to the ceiling the explanation is that the gas fills the lower layers of air and slowly rises to the top this is what causes the victims to trample each other and climb on top of each other a little higher the gas reaches them a little later I notice that at the bottom of the pile of coins are babies, children, women and the elderly, at the top, the strongest, the bodies showing numerous scratches produced in the fight, often intertwined, nose and mouth bleeding , the blue face, swollen and deformed, make them unrecognizable, however, the Sonderkommando.

They often recognized their relatives when they were desserts, those fill the bar too often, that is, in this way to give sensation, you have to harden your heart, suffocate all sensitivity, dull all feeling of pain, you have to repress excruciating suffering that sweeps your body like a hurricane. to become a robot they see nothing she feels nothing first aid nothing the Sonderkommando team equipped with large rubber boots line up around the mountain of corpses and flood them with powerful jets of water this is essential from the final act and death by gas is involuntary defecation each corpse is defiled the bath of the dead once a job is completed that the Sonderkommando performs with total renunciation of personality and deep anguish of the soul the separation of the entangled bodies begins this is a very difficult task that does not the tense wrists are tied with the help of these straps the drying of the wet and slippery corpses to the elevator in the adjoining room for large elevators are in operation this is where they load the dead 20 to 25 per elevator a bell rings to indicate that The load is ready and the elevator can work.

It stops at the crematorium's cremation chamber where wide double doors open automatically. Here the entire command waits, they re-attach the straps around the wrists of the dead and drag them on specially constructed slides. To unload them in front of the ovens, the corpses lie in very close rows, old children, their noses, mouths and skin adorned by friction, the blood oozes and mixes with the water that runs through the channels dug in the concrete palisade for this purpose, this is me. different open to the hordes of their talented arms and legs have been put to work here there is a group of comrades each assigned to their task they pull out tear the corpses from the tangle death this one with one foot hunts that one with his hand what easier it seems that the bodies will be dismembered as they are dragged in this way and that the corpse is dragged across the frozen and dirty cement floor and the beautiful alabaster body sweeps away all the dirt in its path, the contaminated body is grabbed and placed outside face up - frozen eyes look at you like you're asking to do both.

MeetMe odama, what are you going to do with me brother? Each crematorium had to iron stretchers to load the bodies into the ovens. These boards were placed in front of the fire. Two prisoners brought a body to them. They placed him on his hind legs, facing forward. fire face up on top of this body they placed another one with its face up also its head towards the fire first we put the bodies of two adults and then as many children as we could we threw into the fire most of the time the bodies of five or six children we did it In this way, in order not to put the children's bodies directly on the grates, the bars of these were very spaced, the children's bodies could fall into the ash container.

The women's bodies burned much faster and better than those of the men. men that's why we searched for the body of a woman every time a convoy burned badly and we put it in the oven to speed up the incineration process it's a bonus of opinion from guys fake or not now thirty hellmouths burned in the two big buildings and They devoured the countless victims of the fires of hell They stick out their tongues like outstretched arms They take possession of the body as if it were a treasure The hair lights up first The skin swells with bubbles that burst after a few seconds The arms and legs intertwine The veins, the nerves, tense, make the limbs contract, the whole body lights up, the skin cracks, the fat flows, you hear the sizzling of the blades, you no longer see bodies, only a furnace of infernal fire devouring something that is in the middle. the belly bursts intestines and entrails sprout within a few minutes they disappear without a trace the head takes longer to burn in small blue flames they shine in the orbits of the eyes that are consumed with the brain and the depths and in the mouth the tongue still burns until turning into ashes, the whole process lasts 20 minutes and the body, a world, is reduced to ashes that direct here the leftovers of the Jewish ramp, that is, those who do not find room in the crematoriums, the most horrible death awaits them here, there is no tap of water to quench thirst after several days of travel there are no fallacious warnings to dispel forebodings there is no gas chamber that can be confused with a disinfection room there is only a rustic house of yesteryear painted yellow with a thatched roof its windows replaced by wooden planks behind the house immense columns of smoke rise into the sky spreading the smell of roasted meat and burning hair in the courtyard a crowd of about 5,000 terrified souls everywhere thick SS chains with police dogs tied three to four hundred to At the same time they take them to the locker room, they beat them with batons, they leave their clothes and go out through the door on the opposite side of the house, leaving room for the next ones.

They leave through the end of the door immediately when the commander grabs them by the arm and holds them between two rows of SS along a 150-meter-long winding path. bordered by forests to the fire that was previously hidden by trees the fire is in a ditch 50 meters long, 6 meters wide and 3 meters deep filled with hundreds of burned corpses along the edge of the ditch and in the side closest to the road SS soldiers They are 5 meters away waiting for their victims, in their hands they hold small caliber pistols, 6 millimeters, used by the KZ to shoot in the back of the head, at the end of the road towards the Sonderkommando , the men grabbed the hapless victims by the arm and dragged them 15 to 20 meters to face the SS gun screams of horror drown out the noise of the gunshots nothing is heard except the sound of a click immediately the victim is thrown to the flames before even stopping living neolution visit the danube jihad in the middle of the ocean Al's began o - Lang Mir area no wonder one more clue, I think, and he blood of the youngest, she no, we had already had more that enough, we must still soak our hands in the blood of the Hungarian Jews, this led all the men of the command without distinction of class or background and even the most reserved ones to get angry that we should end this game, finish this job and with our lives if necessary, we, the men of the Sonderkommando, had always said that we were more especially threatened than any other prisoner.

The approach of the front was a opportunity for us, on the contrary, we saw the need to launch our action a little earlier if we still wanted to achieve something in our lives, three and a half months before the camp was liberated on October 7, 1944, the only one a revolt broke out armed in Auschwitz was organized by the Sonderkommando s-- the crematorium three was destroyed Zalman Rudovsky one of the organizers of the uprising was killed along with 450 one of his companions was left blank Foose and Zalman Leventhal were executed at the end of November 1944 two months earlier of the arrival of the Dragon Salameh of the Red Army Henrik Tauber a fine silver altar testified before the Krakow court in May 1945 dr.
