Notes:
Crematorium I at Auschwitz - building preserved but
reconstructed several times
Crematorium II-V[*] at Birkenau - ruins. Only the ceiling of the
chamber of Crematorium[*] II is in part fairly well preserved.
* Transcription Note: My copy of this document has two
corrections made, in ballpoint pen, concerning the crematorium
numbers. The first instance could have read "II-IV" in the
original, and the second could have read "III" on the
original, but the ink obscures the original text. knm.
