Auschwitz kitchen
[back] Auschwitz-Birkenau [back] Camp kitchens
The kitchen in Auschwitz I, one of the largest buildings in the camp, had twelve chimneys and included a dietary section, a bakery and a butchery. The kitchen also had flush toilets which were unknown to that part of Europe at the time. Soviet soldiers who captured the camps thought they were places to wash their hands because they had never seen flush toilets before. Felderer told Zündel that it didn't make sense that one of the biggest buildings in an alleged extermination camp was a kitchen. [Ditlieb Felderer] The 'False News' Trial of Ernst Zündel -- 1988
