RIGHT: Dr. Franciszek Piper, Director of the Auschwitz
Museum explains changes made to the Auschwitz "gas chamber" to David
Cole. "So after the liberation of the camp, the former gas chamber
presented a view of [an] air [raid] shelter. In order to gain an earlier
view ...earlier sight...of this object, the inside walls built in 1944
were removed and the openings in the ceiling were made anew. So now
this gas chamber is very similar to this one which existed in 1941-1942,
but not all details were made so there is no gas-tight doors, for instance,
[and the] additional entrance from the east side rested [remained] as
it was made in 1944. Such changes were made after the war in order to
gain [the] earlier view of this object".
