	History of Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp - quick overview

		Auschwitz II, or Birkenau, was opened on October 7, 1941 as a Prisoner of War camp for soldiers captured during the German invasion of the Soviet Union which had begun on June 22, 1941.
		The boundaries of Birkenau stretched a mile in one direction and a mile and a half in the other, but when the Hungarian Jews were brought to Birkenau, beginning in late April 1944, the camp became so over-crowded that the prisoners were sleeping five to a bed and five prisoners were sharing one coffee cup.

	Gas Chambers and Crematoria at Auschwitz-Birkenau
		While four new crematoria buildings were still under construction in the Auschwitz II camp, also known as Birkenau, the first gas chamber was put into operation on March 20, 1942 in a thatched-roof cottage, formerly owned by a Polish peasant, according to the book "Auschwitz 1270 to the Present" by Robert Jan van Pelt.
		This is probably a door into a disinfection chamber at Birkenau, since all of the homicidal gas chambers at Birkenau had already been blown up by the Nazis before the Soviet soldiers arrived, in an effort to destroy the evidence of their systematic plan to exterminate the Jews.
		In a book by Birkenau camp secretary Lore Shelley, entitled "Secretaries of Death," the author states that some prisoners who were registered were later "selected" for the gas chamber; the words "Sonder-Behandlung" (abbreviated to SB) were put on their prison file card.

		The five three-muffle ovens in crematoria II and III of Birkenau each had a maximum capacity of between 1,000 and 1,500 cremations per 24 hours,[11] but their normal capacity was 1,000 to 1,100 cremations each per 24 hours.

		By contrast, in the Topf cremation ovens of Auschwitz and Birkenau the next body was introduced into the muffle as soon as the remains of the first had dropped through the muffle grating into the ash chamber, where the cremation process then concluded.

	Bomb Shelters in Birkenau: A Reappraisal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Of course, the idea that the crematoria of Birkenau would be equipped to protect against bombs or poison gas is unusual, but it was a conclusion that seemed to us inevitable, given the essential identity of all of the gastight fixtures noted by Pressac and ordinary civil air defense paraphernalia found in the German literature.
		In Camp II [Birkenau] in view of the high water table and the lack of space trench shelters can also not be provided for the prisoners.
		In cases where there is a scarcity of shelters available, as at Birkenau, the shelters are to be provided on a preferential basis to the SS and the Block Leaders.
