The Holocaust (from the Greek ὁλόκαυστος holókaustos: hólos, "whole" and kaustós, "burnt")[2] also known as Shoah (Hebrew: השואה, HaShoah, "the catastrophe"; Yiddish: חורבן, Churben or Hurban, from the Hebrew for "destruction"), was the mass murder or genocide of approximately six million Jews during World War II, a programme of systematic state-sponsored murder by Nazi Germany, led by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, throughout the German Reich and German-occupied territories.[3] Of the nine million Jews who had resided in Europe before the Holocaust, approximately two-thirds were killed.[4] Over one million Jewish children were killed in the Holocaust, as were approximately two million Jewish women and three million Jewish men.[5] A network of over 40,000 facilities in Germany and German-occupied territory were used to concentrate, hold, and kill Jews and other victims.[6] The persecution and genocide were carried out in stages.
Etymology and use of the term Distinctive features Origins. Zyklon B. Empty poison gas canisters, found by the Allies at the end of World War II Zyklon B (German pronunciation: [tsykloːn ˈbeː]; also spelled Cyclon B or Cyclone B) was the trade name of a cyanide-based pesticide invented in the early 1920s. The product was infamous for its use by Nazi Germany to murder an estimated 1.2 million people, including approximately 960,000 Jews, in gas chambers of extermination camps during the Holocaust.[1] This number represents a portion of the estimated 11 million people, 5.5 to 6 million of them Jews, killed by the Nazi regime. One of the co-inventors of Zyklon B, the chemist and businessman Bruno Tesch, was executed by the British in 1946 for his role in the Holocaust. History[edit] Zyklon B labels Even before any of the modern methods of mass-producing prussic acid were developed, suggestions were made that it could be used systematically to kill humans.
Hydrocyanic acid was widely used for the fumigation of valuable tree crops. Production and marketing[edit] PHPR - Strategic National Stockpile. An act of terrorism (or a large scale natural disaster) targeting the U.S. civilian population will require rapid access to large quantities of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies. Such quantities may not be readily available unless special stockpiles are created. No one can anticipate exactly where a terrorist will strike and few state or local governments have the resources to create sufficient stockpiles on their own. Therefore, a national stockpile has been created as a resource for all. In 1999 Congress charged the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) with the establishment of the National Pharmaceutical Stockpile (NPS).
The mission was to provide a re-supply of large quantities of essential medical materiel to states and communities during an emergency within twelve hours of the federal decision to deploy. Majdanek ovens. Auschwitz. Auschwitz I 'gas chamber' (Krema I) [back] Auschwitz-Birkenau [This so called gas chamber (with Birkenau 'gas chamber'), is the one that underpins the Holocaust gas chamber claim as they admit now (after claiming there were, eg Dachau) there were none in Germany.
From 1940 to 1943 it was a morgue, with a washroom, etc; from June 1944 to January 1945, it was an air-raid shelter for the SS-hospital with a surgery room. After the war they knocked some 'Zyklon B input holes' in the roof, made a door in the SE and called it a 'gas chamber.' (1). They admit to it being a 'reconstruction.'

"No Holes, no Gas Chamber(s)". Manhole and floor drain inside the Krema I gas chamber at Auschwitz « Scrapbookpages Blog. This morning, I was reading an interesting article on the Ironlight wordpress blog, and I came across this paragraph: In 1992 I ran my manhole question past Dr. Franciszek Piper, Senior Curator of the Auschwitz State Museum, and he had no answer. When I ran it by Pressac, he thought I was trying to put one over on him; he didn’t believe there WAS a manhole in Krema 1! I was floored that he had never seen it. We argued about this for some time until I had to go through his files and find a picture of Krema 1 and POINT OUT the damn manhole. Now HE was floored. The quote from the Ironlight blog was written by David Cole some years ago. On my visit to the Krema I gas chamber in 2005, I stumbled upon the manhole, literally. Manhole can be seen in the center of the photo, near the wall In the photo above, there is a large white spot on the left side; the manhole is located to the right of this spot, close to the wall in the background.
The original door into Krema I is now the tourist entrance. Photographs From Auschwitz-Birkenau. Krema 1. Holocaust Photos.

A gas chamber is an apparatus for killing humans or animals with gas, consisting of a sealed chamber into which a poisonous or asphyxiant gas is introduced.
The most commonly used poisonous agent is hydrogen cyanide; carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide have also been used. Gas chambers were used as a method of execution for condemned prisoners in the United States beginning in the 1920s. During the Holocaust, large-scale gas chambers designed for mass killing were used by Nazi Germany as part of their genocide program, and also by the Independent State of Croatia at the Jasenovac concentration camp.[1] The use of gas chambers has also been reported in North Korea.[2] United States Gas chamber usage in the United States. Secondary method only Previously used, but not presently Never used gas chamber Post-Furman uses by state and numbers Gas chambers have been used for capital punishment in the United States to execute criminals, especially convicted murderers.

Auschwitz concentration camp (German: Konzentrationslager Auschwitz [ˈʔaʊ̯ʃvɪt͡s] ( )) was a network of concentration and extermination camps built and operated by the Third Reich in Polish areas annexed by Nazi Germany during World War II. It consisted of Auschwitz I (the original camp), Auschwitz II–Birkenau (a combination concentration / extermination camp), Auschwitz III–Monowitz (a labor camp to staff an IG Farben factory), and 45 satellite camps. Auschwitz I was first constructed to hold Polish political prisoners, who began to arrive in May 1940. The first extermination of prisoners took place in September 1941, and Auschwitz II–Birkenau went on to become a major site of the Nazi "Final Solution to the Jewish question". From early 1942 until late 1944, transport trains delivered Jews to the camp's gas chambers from all over German-occupied Europe, where they were killed with the pesticide Zyklon B.
History Background In September 1935 the Nuremberg Laws were enacted. Auschwitz I. Majdanek concentration camp. Unlike other similar camps in Poland, Majdanek was not located in a remote rural location away from population centres, but within the boundaries of a major city (see also: Nisko Plan preceding the formation of the Ghetto).[3] This proximity led the camp to be named 'Majdanek' ("little Majdan") by local people in 1941 because it was adjacent to the city's district of Majdan Tatarski ("Tatar Maidan") in Lublin.
The Nazi documents initially called the site "Prisoner of War Camp of the Waffen-SS in Lublin" because of the way it was operated and funded. It was renamed by RSHA in Berlin as Konzentrationslager on April 9, 1943; however, the local Polish name is how it is remembered.[4] Construction[edit] Concentration camp KL Lublin or the "Konzentrationslager Lublin" in German, was established in October 1941, on Heinrich Himmler's orders forwarded to Odilo Globocnik soon after his visit to Lublin on 17–20 July 1941.

Professor Deborah Lipstadt, author of Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory, is the leading voice on college campuses and in the media arguing against intellectual freedom with regard to the holocaust controversy.
She is passionate -- well, obsessive -- about not wanting to exchange views with revisionists. "[A]t times," she writes, "I have felt compelled to prove something I knew to be true. I had constantly to avoid being inadvertently sucked into a debate that is no debate and an argument that is no argument. " She adds that revisionism is "totally irrational . . . not responsive to logic" and that "evidence plays no role" in revisionist research. I'm going to go out on a limb here. I know that Deborah Lipstadt and hundreds of other trained scholars with access to the relevant archives in Europe and the old Soviet Union have studied the Nazi gas chambers for half a century and know everything there is to know about them.
