What did the prisoners do at Auschwitz?
standing in place until he was either found or the reason for his absence discovered, even if it took hours, regardless of the weather conditions. After roll call, there were individual and collective punishments, depending on what had happened during the day, and after these, the prisoners were allowed to retire to their blocks for the night to receive their bread rations and water. Curfew was two or three hours later, the prisoners sleeping in long rows of wooden bunks, lying in and on their clothes and shoes to prevent them from being stolen.[28]Medical experimentsMain article: Nazi human experimentation The medical experimentation block German doctors performed a wide variety of experiments on prisoners at Auschwitz. SS doctors tested the efficacy of X-rays as a sterilization device by administering large doses to female prisoners. Prof. Dr. Carl Clauberg injected chemicals into women's uteruses in an effort to glue them shut. Bayer, then a subsidiary of IG Farben, bought prisoners to use as guinea pigs for testing new drugs.[29]The most infamous doctor at Auschwitz was Josef Mengele, known as the "Angel of Death". Particularly interested in research on identical twins, Mengele performed cruel experiments on them, such as inducing diseases in one twin and killing the other when the first died to perform comparative autopsies. He also took a special interest in dwarves, injecting twins, dwarves and other prisoners with gangrene to "study" the effects.[30]Escapes, resistance, and the Allies' knowledge of the campsFurther information: Auschwitz bombing debate, Witold Pilecki, and Rudolf Vrba Dr. Rudolf Vrba in 1997. His April 1944 report on Auschwitz convinced the Allies about the mass murder taking place there. Auschwitz camp photos of Witold Pilecki, 1941Information regarding Auschwitz was available to the Allies during the years 1940-1943 by accurate and frequent reports of Polish Army Captain Witold Pilecki. Pilecki was the only known person to volunteer to be imprisoned at Auschwitz concentration camp, spending 945 days at Auschwitz not only actively gathering evidence of genocide and supplying it to the British in London by Polish resistance movement organization Home Army but also organizing resistance structures at the camp known as ZOW, ZwiÄ…zek Organizacji Wojskowej.[31] His first report was smuggled outside in November 1940. He eventually escaped on April 27, 1943, but his personal report of mass killings was dismissed as exaggeration by the Allies, as were his previous ones.[32]The attitude of the Allies changed with receipt of the very detailed Vrba-Wetzler report, compiled by two Jewish prisoners, Rudolf Vrba and Alfred Wetzler, who escaped on April 7, 1944, and which finally convinced Allied leaders of the truth about Auschwitz. Details from the Vrba-Wetzler report were broadcast on June 15, 1944 by the BBC, and on June 20 by The New York Times, causing the Allies to put pressure on the Hungarian government to stop the mass deportation of Jews to the camp.[33]Starting with a plea from the Slovakian rabbi Weissmandl in May 1944, there was a growing campaign to persuade the Allies to bomb Auschwitz or the railway lines leading to it. At one point Winston Churchill ordered that such a plan be prepared, but he was told that bombing the camp would most likely kill prisoners without disrupting the killing operation, and that bombing the railway lines was not technically feasible. The debate over what could have been done, or what should have been attempted even if success was unlikely, has continued ever since.Birkenau revoltPicture of Birkenau taken by an American surveillance plane, August 25, 1944 By 1943, resistance organizations had developed in the camp. These organizations helped a few prisoners escape; these escapees took with them news of exterminations, such as the killing of hundreds of thousands of Jews transported from Hungary between May and July 1944. On October 7, 1944, the Jewish Sonderkommandos (those inmates kept separate from the main camp and put to work in the gas chambers and crematoria) of Birkenau Kommando III staged an uprising. They attacked the SS with makeshift weapons: stones, axes, hammers, other work tools and homemade grenades. They caught the SS guards by surprise, overpowered them and blew up the Crematorium IV, using explosives smuggled in from a weapons factory by female inmates. At this stage they were joined by the Birkenau Kommando I of the Crematorium II, which also overpowered their guards and broke out of the compound. Hundreds of prisoners escaped, but were all soon captured and, along with an additional group who participated in the revolt, executed.[34]There were also plans for a general uprising in Auschwitz, coordinated with an Allied air raid and a Polish resistance (Armia Krajowa, Home Army) attack from the outside.[32] That plan was authored by Polish resistance fighter, Witold Pilecki, who organized in Auschwitz an underground Union of Military Organization - (ZwiÄ…zek Organizacji Wojskowej, ZOW). Pilecki and ZOW hoped that the Allies would drop arms or troops into the camp (most likely the Polish 1st Independent Parachute Brigade, based in Britain), and that the Home Army would organize an assault on the camp from outside. By 1943, however, he realized that the Allies had no such plans. Meanwhile, the Gestapo redoubled its efforts to ferret out ZOW members, succeeding in killing many of them. Pilecki decided to break out of
How many people were killed in the gas chambers at Auschwitz?
According to an article published in 1989 by Franciszek Piper, the director of research at the Auschwitz Museum, the minimum number of victims killed at the Auschwitz group of camps between 1940 and 1945 is 1.1 million, of whom about 90% were Jews. This figure is deliberately cautious. Since 1989 most serious scholarship on the subject has suggested a figure of between 1.1 and 1.5 million dead. The figure of 1.1 million is deliberately cautious and should be treated as the lowest serious figure. The German Wikipedia article gives a figure of 1.4 million, for example. ----- Piper's estimate was based on careful research, using captured camp records released to the museum in 1989, counting all registered prisoners as well as all transports arriving at the camp and departing from it. The number of victims cannot be determined with complete accuracy, because the Nazis did not count people being loaded onto transports from Eastern Europe, but Piper was able to narrow the number down to between 1.1 million and 1.3 million. Raul Hilberg, who used German railway records to count departures rather than arrivals, had arrived at more or less the same number in 1961, when he estimated that 1 million Jews had died in the camp. Piper gave a breakdown of deaths by nationality, which is highly accurate for registered prisoners (who were tattooed with numbers), but not for those, almost exclusively Jews, who were gassed on arrival or shortly afterwards, without being registered. The uncertainty lies almost entirely in the latter group, whose number Piper estimates at between 900,000 and 1.1 million. In other words, Hilberg got it right 50 years ago, but nobody listened to him because they didn't like his number. People should not make up their minds about numbers on the basis of whether they like them or not, they should look into how they were arrived at. The best estimate of the number of victims at Auschwitz is Piper's, and it is unlikely to be improved upon. All other estimates are obsolete.
