| This rough sketch represents Leichenkeller 2 of Krematorium II, attached to the western side of the building. The upper arrow indicates the location of the entrance for corpses, with staircase on each side of the corpse chute (an arrangement abandoned when the crematorium was converted into an i nstrument of extermination). The few steps added at the western end of Leichenkeller 2 represent part of the access stairway to the future undressing room. The rectangle at the bottom of the sketch represents the access to the basement from the north yard, used by the victims for one week in March 1943, but subsequently reserved for the use of the SS involved with the gassings. |
